I thought they JV, not acquired?

They never check stock before you confirm?

I learn better not buy in fair unless is really good deal.

I find the 2HP yoke already noisy. Well for living room is ok lah

1hp is under power, look at 1.5 or 2hp

16x17 is not a small room. If you have small room 1HP is good, but if you have big room, 1HP will be working non stop to cool the entire area. Or maybe able to cool a portion of the area.

For your bedroom, 1hp is minimal, but on hot day it will take longer time to cool the room. 1.5HP will be good, if run for long hours like 5 hours onward, inverter 1.5 will be good investment.

Living room, I suggest 2hp.

Your room is slightly bigger than mine. Mine is 19' 9" x 11' 4", I use 1.5 HP inverter. Room is facing North

If your room is facing East, or West, you may need higher power A/C, if not your morning or evening will be hot. But If morning and evening is not your concern than is ok.

That is what many people say. But I find mine ok.

York blower is very noisy but very fast cooling. Good to use @ living hall.

BTW, Acson is oem from York, and is cheaper too.

Yup, that I agree.

My old house using York, after 2 years so noisy.

My brother room using Panasonic, but is quiet.

I was wondering how is Midea after sales support. Was worry of this hence did not buy Midea.

Now that is noisy.

All my 1HP are sharp. Non inverter.

My 1.5 is panasonic inverter, and 2 is York ion. 1HP is all Sharp.

Because this all fit lower than my initial budget.

Sure 16c. Anyway if you set 25c, sometime rainy day outside is about 24c. Better open up windows let outside wind come in much better.

For me anything 24 and above is very stuffy.

Depend, like now raining night can be as low as 24c, so is cooler than room a/c set to 25c. What I do switch on ventilation fan, so it will suck in outdoor air into my room + fan. Got fresh air, and cooling.

If you switch on a/c set 25c, since is in close room, the room temperature will increase so your a/c compressor will switch on and work. It may not work too frequent, but it still take more energy comparing ventilation + fan.

Good, for me can't cause when is stuffy I will wake up. Need fresh air. I am ok with hot or cold but don't like stuffy.

Not sure, I got two model. Two with ion for room, one without ion for dining area.

Not too sure. Think i got it much lower.

Depend, if the saving is Say RM 50 per month, how many months do you think it need to use before ROI? maybe 2 or 3 years if we buy many AC at once. For shot period users maybe ROI is much longer.

Please do the math how you get RM100++ vs RM30++, you need to have proof of claim before putting the number. Even Panasonic say is 30%, but you get 70%.

Even at 30%, that is optimum level, it may not even hit that rate fro difference usage environment. I am a regular A/C user before and my bill does not even go RM 100++ for one A/C. And now with Inverter, the difference is only like rm 10+- per month.

Reduces energy consumption by up to 30%*1.

*1 Comparison of 1.5HP Inverter model with ECONAVI Dual Sensor ON and OFF (Cooling).

<ECONAVI Dual Sensor ON Outside temperature: 35°C/24°C>
Remote setting temperature: 25°C with Fan Speed (High)
Vertical Airflow direction: Auto, Horizontal Airflow Direction: ECONAVI Mode
Setting temperature goes up 1°C controlled by ECONAVI activity level
<ECONAVI Dual Sensor OFF Outside temperature: 35°C/24°C>
Remote setting temperature: 25°C with Fan Speed (High)
Vertical Airflow direction: Auto, Horizontal Airflow Direction: Front
Total power consumption amount are measured for 1 hour in stable condition
At Panasonic Amenity Room (size:16.2m2)
This is the maximum energy saving value, and the effect differs according to conditions in installation and usag

Intelligent Inverter technology provides a high-precision method of maintaining the room set temperature by varying the rotation speed of the compressor; thus giving you energy savings of up to 50%.

Some forumer say only RM 30 mah. Use that number loh.
