Btu lower = need more time to cool the room/ place.

I am surveying aircond too....

current in my list are follow the priority
1) mitsubishi heavy industry (Deluxe type-SRK model)
2) hitachi (Deluxe type-RAS)
3) mitsubishi electric (Mr Slim-GF & FF model)

My comparison according to my consideration
1) Ioniser (1st & 2nd only) 3rd only actually just to remove bad smell (plasma)
2)Warranty (2nd and 3rd got 2+7 year warranty, 1st only 1+5 year warranty
3)Self clean - 1st:Auto Clean, 2nd:No self clean, 3rd, manual clean
4) EER, 1st one is the best, then 2nd and third (Have to confirm again) - Higher is better to save electric)
5) btu, according to sales person, 2nd=10000btu, 3rd=9545btu, 1st=9000btu (lower is better)

6) price range: similar
7)quality:according LYN, all three brands are good and realiable

My decision: (Tomolo I will buy it)
1) Mitsubishi Heavy Industry because safe electric and got auto cleaning. although warranty is less, but i think when the time after 5 yrs, i oledi forget where do i keep the warranty card oledi....hehe
2) 1hp with ionizer at my master room (coz use longer while sleeping) and 1.5hp without ionizer at my living hall (I think not frequent, if hot and want good air, go to bedroom lo)
3) 1hp (with ioner) = RM980 and 1.5hp (Without ionizer) =RM1130
So RM2k got two aircond....

Will buy for other rooms when i got extra money.....haha

according to the sales person, if btu higher, will drawn more electric during starting....which i think is reasonable.....
But, some sales person say, higher btu, faster cool, then lagi save electric....

i think (just my think, not the fact), i can just rely on EER for the electric saving guidance..........

Higher capacity unit does cool the room faster. However, if your room only need 1HP but you put a 1.5HP, you not only waste initial capital, have higher electricity bill, and also resulting in alot of cut in cut out of compressor.

Even with inverter, the min frequency that it can run maybe 20Hz for certain brand, can only run for a specific amount of time. If the room temp does not rise, the unit will be forced to cut out. In that case, if start stop is so frequent even with inverter, what is the use of having inveter?

So size your AC properly. Don't just go for the biggest available.

Also, EER is just a reference. How they got their capacity depends on how each manufacturer do their testing. There is no apple to apple comparison for AC in Malaysia. Even if with the star rating, it is a relative comparison. The most accurate comparison is NEA from Singapore, where one stop testing for all brands under the same condition. Therefore, it will be apple to apple comparison. However Singapore unit spec can be different from what you get in Malaysia for certain brands to pass regulations and what not. But I guess, it will be logically dumb to choose a low EER unit from a high one right?

I've just bought myself 4 MHI (Deluxe series) air-conds. 3 SRK10 and 1 SRK19.... Hopefully it's the right decision. Sales person claimed the SRK19 (2HP) can blow up to 18meters away.

tq for the info...btw, i just purchase two unit...as per my earlier decision, mitsubishi heavy industry 1hp with ionizer n 1.5hp without ionizer...total price without installation is rm2080....reasonable price...hehe...

18 ft more like it. Meter think is bit to much, that is about 54ft.

I think the price is dirt cheap for inverter.

The website does say 17m with powerful mode,11m with high fan mode.

18 ft more like it. Meter think is bit to much, that is about 54ft.

Mine one are not inverter type....

Yes, same as the catalogue, 17m with power mode........."Jetflow"

Where u bought it? Might to share? I am looking for few units ...

Anyone heard of Midea brand? How is it ? I been quoted by Onking RM1099 + RM200 installation fee for 1.0 inverter type which can use normal aircon piping. Is it reasonable price?

Still it is dirt cheap. You sure it is 2080 not 2980?

What's the model and where you het that from? Both non inverter?

I have been in a waiting list with Onking for a Mitsubishi Electric 2.5hp inverter for a month already... they are saying the suppliers got no stock....

Does anybody here knows if there is stock anywhere?

Thanks.
