I have used this before, but now I have switched to Daiso's RM 5 filters. Cheaper in the long run.
3M Filtrete is much more effective though, and yes, it does impede airflow especially when it gets clogged.
My fan blades still get dirty, but maybe not as fast as it would have been without a filter.
3M filter gets clogged within a month, I use my A/C every night, and longer on weekends. If your area is very dusty, I think it will clog even faster.

Anyone has issue of Mitsubishi Electric Mr Slim 1.5HP non inverter making the noise "tak tak" especially the moment the compressor kicks in, after the thermostat sound after a few hours of usage. The tak tak sound is not the thermostat sound.

Initially i thought it's the sound of swing, but even when i turn off swing, i still get the tak tak sound. I realize this tak tak sound only comes out after 1 year plus of usage.

the unit i'm using now is the 2nd unit i have, after complaining to Melco Sales on this tak tak sound. they swap a new unit for me, and now this sound recur again....

PS: I did chemical wash like once a year and not sure whether the sound is related to parts destroyed by the chemical wash.

Using the same AC. Do not face this problem after 3 months of usage. Will the contractor caused this problem?

mine is probably a model one generation older. i used the first unit for close to 2 years before the tak tak sound and then melco sales swapped another unit FOC and i use this swapped unit for close to 1 year, now the sound comes back again.

it's hard to troubleshoot since the sound only come like after few hours of usage and only when during compressor kicks in.

Thanks for the info. I'm planning to install the mini cassette for my living room. The large ones is too big. May not have enuff space to accommodate it. Not many are selling the compact ones. Planned to install daikin but they don't have the compact ones. Now saw Hitachi have compact cassette but don't know for sure how good or reliable they are. Their split type are good.

Panasonic, york, acson, tohsiba…all have mini cassette

Thanks for the info bro! I went to some shops they are promoting panasonic. Somewhere in the forum ppl mentioned that panasonic is no good. York and acson are a bit noisy. I think all this depends on luck as well and the contractor who install them la. Hehehe. Will take a look at toshiba, don't know they have mini cassette. Then will compare with hitachi and see which is better. I really need some feedback and recommendation on which model and brand to go with.

People, how good are Electrolux airconds? Any problems reported? And are Electrolux airconds simply rebranded units from other brands?

If given the choice between Panasonic, Daikin & Mitsubishi 1.5HP non-inverter airconds..which brand would you choose?

Am a Panasonic supporter. Just bought 1 X 1 HP (EcoNavi), 1 X 1.5HP (EcoNavi)and 1 x 2 HP

me too, pana fans.
how much the price? what is the model?

Yea crow, what's the price of the 1.5HP and 2HP Panasonic airconds that you bought? Are they the normal non-inverter types?

Deluxe one for everyday use:

CS-C9PKH (CU-C9PKH) ~ 1.0HP- RM 999 + RM 160 Installation

CS-C12PKH (CU-C12PKH) ~ 1.5HP - RM 1289 + RM 200

Standard one in the hall - Ocassional use
CS-PC18MKH (CU-PC18MKH) ~ 2.0HP RM 1840 + RM 250

I think those prices you got are good. My aircond supplier quoted me at least 5% extra inclusive of installation charge.

May I know where you bought these aircond from? Is it a shop? Where is your location crow?

Bought at
Tong Kong
62, Jln SS3/31, 47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Tel: 03-7876 1892 Fax: 7876 4829 .

My house located in Denai Alam but the guys deliverd and installed. During installation i wantedto them to hack and put casing fro two units and that came up to RM 560 more.

The Deluxe one suppose to use less energy (Not Inverter), they call it ECONAVI and also has nanoe-G Air Purifying System with In-Filter Deactivation (no idea what that is ) and it cost about RM 150 more compared to the standard for the 1 HP. I saw it as an small investment now if I can save money by not giving it to TNB.

The one in the hall (2 HP) but not used very often and air purifying not really useful as it is an open area and not confined like in the rooms.

I hope i made sense anyway this is just my 2 cents thoughts

I see. PJ..so far from where I live (Bangi). Did the Tong Kong shop also do the installation for you or did you ask for another installer?

Do they also carry Daikin airconds?

Yup Tong Kong did installation and they only sell Panasonic stuff. Delivery to Bangi I do not think is a problem. They deliver to Klang also i know.

1hp non inverter, conceal piping, included test and installation, 550; 1hp inverter 650

Is it ok?

Crow, how was their installation? Good and no cut corners or lazy work? I might just call them up soon...do let me know Crow!

I had no complaints. They did a good job hacking and now hopefully the contractor does a good job concealing/plastering the hole. Only prob was i told them to put the air cond compressor in one of the rooms on teh ground but they conned my dad and had it done right behind the air cond unit ( i guess cutting cost on the copper wire) but not that bad as there was no trunking running behind the wall, so i did not make any noise as also my dad agreed. If you are there during installation and insist i think u should not have any problems

I've seen comments that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries aircond are noisier. Is it as noisy as York aircond? Appreciate those who have used both brands before to comment.

Thanks.

PS: Am seriously considering this brand for purchase.
