Hello, I'm looking to buy a 1.5 HP inverter aircon, i've been using daikin for all my other aircons in the house, but wanted something more budget friendly which at the same time doesn't compromise quality. I don't mind china brand, please recommend me some brands to consider, thank you!

P/S - My room is 240 sq ft in total, will 1.5 HP suffice to cool the entire room ?

Haier for me..

midea

Keep the recommendations coming, appreciate it. Also is 1.5 HP enough to cool a 240 sq ft room ?

Wrong thread;

Normally they discuss about air conditioners at this thread:

You want budget, then no air quality.

You want air quality, then no budget.

Choose one.

Sharp Plasmacluster and Daikin Streamer is good for air quality. Have both in my house.

Thanks for the heads up, will post there.

My room 16' x 26'.
2hp cukup sejuk.

Daikin non inverter, install n years ago.

My friend who works in Daikin, they did a test buying all those cheap chinese brands. All of them doesn't achieve the cooling effect as their brochure claim

So just stick to Daikin for quality.

Any comments about Mitsubishi ? Are their aircon any good ?

panasonic.

Midea, haier & Hisense for budget friendly quality also good .
Parts easily available and affordable.
Most highrise using this.

Do you think Daikin achieves the cooling effect as their claims? Just like how car manufacturers claim their own fuel consumption figures?

Any comments about Mitsubishi aircon ?

Mitsubishi and Panasonic recommended by my aircon man. Using Mitsubishi myself so far so good but i only use it when needed.

Fuck daikin. Purchase one inverter back in 2019 then 2021 board rosak say cost 800 to fix. That time my infant baru keluar I changed to another daikin inverter then in 2024 same thing happened. Dylan changed to Panasonic

mitsubishi dem good. 24yrs ago got recond one from singapore, 2HP, still working today without gas refill, pretty insane. but we rarely use that aircond, not on daily basis.

then during mco got 3x 1.5HP in rooms, very quiet blower and its cold if needed. i use 26c auto and it can reach 26.0 on my xiaomi temperature sensor. very precise.

btw, whats the sun condition of your room, is your room landed or condo?

my hometown bricks tend to absorb the heat but my condo here wont. my hometown aircond tend work much harder than condo here.

Damn good air con! I using this now in my condo. far superior to all air con brands I used before. It is shocking that very few people realise just how good Mitsubishi air con is

u want slightly cheaper but same quality, go for Acson (same factory production but under different management)

cheaper a bit more but still ok quality, go for Panasonic

Very hard to determine enough or not.

Does your room near heat sources like below roof top, got a lot window or facing west.
Anyway, me prefer overcapacity as nowadays getting hotter.
Your size is similar to mine, I go for 2hp. Midea inverter. So far OK.
Previously using Panasonic 1.5hp, underpowered cos my room got a lot windows and roof above.
Take a lot time to cool the room and maintain the temperature.
