Any other AC that using dual inverter like LG?Dual inverter seems like cooling faster and less power consumption.
Are you prepare to pay the premium? LG A/C is kinda expensive though. I'm using 1HP LG Dual Inverter Premium in my room and I installed a 1.5HP of the same unit in my living room which I seldom use.
1 thing you need to realize is that LG Dual Inverter is not even rated 5 stars. Therefore your less power consumption is flawed already. I didnt even noticed that when I was buying. I just assumed the high end model are 5 stars. For comparison, I had installed a Samsung 1HP Windfree Premium (2021) in my son room and this unit is rated 5 stars.
APPSamsung
- independent on and off scheduling
- power usage monitoring
LG
- on/off is tied together in a scheduling, cant set on time only without off time.
- can view live power draw, set power draw (like triggering inverter manually), power monitoring
Actual UsageSamsung
- has a steel grill in front of blower which tend to attract dust. Also will rust after few years.
- blower tend to clog quite often. Even if you had a air compressor to blow, the steel grill gets in the way. Unless like me, you are willing to cut off the grill and risk warranty void.
- temp sensor a bit sensitive. Followed the guide to set temp at 26C but more often than not, it does not feels cool at all but power usage will be low, like less than 2kW (9pm-5am). Set at 25C feels more like it.
- windfree is pretty useful if you dont like aircond blowing at you, and can sleep without blanket at 25/26C.
LG
- stronger blower and dont clog easily like Samsung
- power usage is kinda high (3-4kW) at 26C but my room (12x14) vs my son room (12x10). However, at 26C, it felt like Samsung at 25C.
- outdoor unit slightly noisier than samsung.
