Daikin Inverter 1HP unit user here.. unit was installed in 2008 March. The compressor died last week. (5 years 2 months - just nice out of warranty)

Utter rubbish, I have 2 other Panasonic air cons in my house which are older than the Daikin, 1 is 8 years old and another is even older still going strong.

I am going for Panasonic to replace the Daikin Inverter. But wow Panasonic Inverter model not cheap.
