Is hisense air cond durable ?

Price almost double.

What do you mean by "pay for half" ?

Hi guys I plan to install hisense airconds to my condo unit meant for rental. As they are cheaper.

But I also worry about perception issue of the tenants.

Anyone care to comment ? It is worthwhile ?

So it is indeed true that hisense will not last long and it's not just a perception issue ? It's real ?

Based on the internet pricing :-

Hisense : Rm600.

Daikin : Rm 900.

That's a 300 difference. If there is a PCB kaput after 5 years for hisense and nothing kaput for daikin, maybe the PCB will cause Rm300. I guess it's still OK.

My house mitsubishi also every now and then not cold. Then the electrician just come and fix it. Most of the time he just change the capacitor. The capacitor is probably RM30 or something, he will bill me Rm200 or something.

Daikin cooling King the cheapest model will still be based on fan/motor capacitor. And then if condo, the electrician will probably charge more because they might be located outside ( and dangerous ) location.

I have no experience using inverter air cond. Do you mean inverter model will have less trouble on the outdoor unit ?

I think my mitsubish also did not have problem in the first few years. But maybe after first capacitor failed, the replacement capacitor was not reliable. So it seem to fail more after first failure.

If it is not broken, why fix ?

Thank you for the insight. I am trying to find the justification to go for the Hisense. RM500 is a lot of difference compared to RM1000. Apparently RM500 might be just 1 promotional unit, additional units could be higher price.

There is some truth in what you say. But as far as aircond is concerned, I tend to believe usage is another BIG factor. If the place is a very dusty area, it tends to break down faster due to lack of scheduled cleaning and maintenance. And it happens that the breakdown is on a cheaper brand, people tend to think say "you see, it's cheap brand, so it breaks down!". Breakdown on the more expensive brand, people will say "yeah, I only got the breakdown now, if cheaper brand if would have breakdown earlier!"

Warranty will vary according to where you purchase things from.

I spoke to a shop keeper he said the Hisense and Midea have 2 year warranty for indoor unit and 5 years warranty for outdoor unit.

And online order, being cheaper, I think they just offer 1 year warranty, even for the common jap design brands.

I think that model is not available online.

Midea: Midea 1.0HP Neola Inverter Air Conditioner With Ionizer MSN-09CRDN1. RM 999.00.

I think that way too. But since kimsim asked about inverter aircond, I just "entertain" him a bit.

How about this one :-

RM722.

What is the auto clean feature in some air cond all about ?

How does it work ? Does it mean no more maintenance needed ?

Anybody purchased air cond from Courts with the recent promotion ?

Interestingly there is a mentioned of RM 1 for installation.

How about delivery charge ?

Since typical installation charge is about RM110 or so, can get RM100 pricing difference buying from courts.

For example, the Sharp Air cond AHA9PCV at RM 789 with 3 years warranty.

Any comment ?

Ok I got my answer. No fat frogs jumping around. The RM 1 for installation is excluded for most of the cheaper models.
So it's just a marketing gimmick.

There is also a charge of RM59 for delivery.

Whoever need pricing comparison watch out for it.
