Yup very tempting.
Longest warranty so far, total 13 years..

guys,

based on this energy consumption tested by suruhanjaya tenaga...this is the lowest consumption i can find for 1hp aircon
any review on this?

If i am not mistaken the highest EER is Sharp AHXP10VXD(17.71).
QUESTION:
Is Panasonic CS-U18VKH(2hp) has strong and long airflow?

Thanks.

The energy saving rating comes from Sirim so they are consistent with other brands.

Nowadays Sharp aircond is ODM (design and made) by Chinese manufacturer most likely Midea after Sharp is sold to Hai Hon (Fox).

so for Aircond ...most of the electronic components can last  around 10 years  if  put on NORMAL  use. 
components degrade over time .

Airconds  Performance usually degrade over time .  with loss of cooling and higher power consumption  . like 5 to 10% 
so  I feel after  7 years  regular use  ,  time to start looking for a NEW  one  ..  wait for  better offers during Sales. . 

so why use a 10 years aircond  when you pay more for power and less cooling. do a ROI  will help .

hi all,
anyone got experience/review using sharp inverter j tech air con?

Hi guys, need a air con for my small room, was thinking of Panasonic CS-PU9XKH-1 RM1599, any review for this air con? or maybe there is a better option? use it only on night time 3 to 5 hour daily..

oh sorry not detail enough, its juz a small bedroom/gaming room, sometimes i sleep there.. probably around 3.5m x 3.5m square room. no server no laptop, basically normal usage, i just want something low-maintenance, can last for years etc..

today they msg me another model sharp AHX9VED2, any review?

Inverter air con will only save your bucks when the space is totally enclosed (no leakage) and the capacity of air con is sized accordingly based on the space.

It tend to tweak the compressor speed upon the temperature is achieve, hence, reducing power. If the space is frequently leaking out cold air or the air con is undersized, the compressor will run full speed all the way, hence, equivalent to non inverter unit.

price point is cheaper.. you have any feedback or experience using this brand? Never tried this brand air con before, and realize many air con shop don't carry them as well..

Please be aware that the mainstream inverter aircons are normally categorised as higher end model than the standard non-inverter variant.

The cooling capacity is also higher even the compressor is running full speed.
This means even the inverter dynamic speed feature has not kicked in yet, it already consumes less power than the non-inverter lower end model.

The inverter tech is already in the market for many years and this is NOT the only tech for saving electricity in aircon.
If your aim is to save electricity, an inverter aircon is the one to go regardless of any environmental factors if we are comparing the same HP units.

Of course, the next steps are to consider the correct size unit, house sealing and etc.

These are not good benchmark examples.
Although we are setting at 16C for both units but the cooling capacity is different. The key is the btu per watt. Higher end model (even inverter feature has not kicked in) has better efficiency.

In layman term, when we set to 16C, inverter Aircon may cool down the room to 20C but non-inverter can only cool down to 22C with the same power consumption.

Please try to compare again now.
Basically, non-inverter model has higher (50-130W) peak power consumption than other models.
That means even we run both in peak mode, users can enjoy better cooling experience and lower electricity bill.

The initial discussion was about saving electricity bill cost.
The purchasing cost was not considered.
If this has to be considered, please also factor in the gained features (fast cooling, ionizer, connectivity, etc) and experience (cooling effect).
Your formula can become (btu/watt + features + experience)/RM ratio.

The only cost concern is the part replacement for inverter models is significantly higher.
More features also mean more things can fail.
But this reliability can be subjected to brand, maintenance, installation, usage and etc.

One of my air cond (Panasonic) the red light also keep blinking and will automatically stop after a while (maybe 30min or so) . Last the aircond service personnel told me because of the gas leakage. That day they test it, the aircond did not off itself after some time and I don't see any blinking (so far). The room is a room that I hardly use nowadays, so I dare not say is completely solve , but at least on that day itself, is working fine. The personnel told me that air-conditioning blinking can be caused by different issue, better check first

Hmm.... So a non-inverter 1 HP for a bigger room?

Right. Do you think this then causes the wet effect on the air conditioner thus creating the white jelly (mold)? I feel like my Panasonic Econavi is way too wet. I had another room that now uses a Daikin and in the past MAY have been a Panasonic used to have white jelly or ice but not anymore.

Maybe we set the temperature too low thereby creating ice / condensation on floors and the air cond was too wet and couldn't dry in time thereby creating white jelly (mold). Panasonic is really lousy now that I'm thinking of it. The Daikin also suffered from white jelly until I'm not sure what I miraculously did to stop it. I think I set the temperature higher.

So roughly,

1. use a 1 HP non-inverter at 22 degrees for a big-ish room so the compressor is constantly running and not shutting off and on
2. could use a 1.5 HP non-inverter 22 degrees for  big-ish room but it might reach 22 degrees faster and the compressor cycle on and off through the night thereby wasting electricity or it runs at 1.5HP all the time vs the 1HP thereby eating more electricity anyway
3. use a 1.5HP inverter set at 24 degrees for a big-ish room so the compressor runs at a lower speed but doesn't shut off and turn on thereby saving electricity

Some times the end goals of ppl are different - some want a cool room, some want to save electricity

The claim with the 1HP is that it takes longer for the room to cool down but we want it to be a constant cooling. Different goals again.

Maybe I should find an air cond with turbo cool for the start. In my room I'm constantly adjusting the temperature and modes with my Daikin wifi remote now. So I set it to dry mode then eco mode etc etc. The problem with the Daikin remote is that I can't schedule it to say after 2 hours switch to another mode. Also it never stays on eco mode, I have to manually set that all the time.

Main functions that are good to have imo:-
1. Turbo cool
2. Schedule modes
3. Self-cleaning although I'm not sure how good this actually works besides just blow drying the fins - technically, if I can schedule modes, I can schedule the last hour to just fan mode
4. Removable drain pan - this is sooo important. I don't know how to remove my Daikin drain pans! I tried removing the blower wheel but couldn't! It's all so difficult! And because of this, I might need to pay service ppl or buy the wash bags. Over the years, I've bought the wash bags but it's cumbersome. I think Mitsubishi also allows for drain pans to come off easily.... service ppl over the years I have noticed with my air conds have wrecked a lot of my units. Broken covers, drain holes, loose drain pans, etc. It's like they are just as bad as I am but I pay them to be wreck my units. You would think as service ppl they'd know how to handle air conds that they recommend us to buy.
5. Eco mode

where can I find this aircon stand to stack 3 air con together?

i blacklisted Panasonic aircond. Both Panasonic airconds i've owned broke down not just once. worse was after the one year warranty, Panasonic doesn't even bother to arrange someone to come to troubleshoot the airconds. The CS just gave me their so-called contractor numbers to call. Once they gave me 5 numbers. I called all of them and all of them said their schedules full! cannot attend within one week. I called the CS again and she gave me another 3 numbers to call! wtf. got rid of both the airconds and never looked back since.

I think you are mistaking your anecdotal assumption with the engineering design. Midea All Easy Pro is the hidden gem that no one realises, all going on about Pana, and Daikin, and Mitsu etc.
