Doesn't HN provide the installation service? Where's your location?

It's a brand you can trust. If you have budget you can get Hitachi because its price is usually higher than other brands.

the technical spec of hitachi inverter aircond is somewhat similar to toshiba inverter aircond.

it is a nice product with 2 years indoor +7 years motor warranty.

erm..Midea is a good and reliable china aircond brand.

Electrolux aircond source from Midea though.

and not to forget Carrier aircond.

i dont think people will pay high for the inverter piping and use it for non inverter series aircond. if there is, it is only a small group of customers (price doesnt matter) would do so.

Carrier and Electrolux are using Midea's aircond compressor.

Gree and Midea a/cond are commonly seen in china.

Daikin Low Sound Level

Daikin Super Low Sound Level

FTKS R410 inverter

1.5hp - 23dB indoor / 39dB outdoor
2hp - 31dB indoor / 39dB outdoor


long term dB consistency is what Daikin company pay great attention to.

so far based on my experience, no second aircond brand can match the standard of Daikin.

most aircond brands that available in the market are generally focusing too much on add-on features that attract most attention from the end users.

Mitsu as you said, it is quiet, but it is not consistent (low sound) in its service over the period.

it is same case if you switch to Sharp.

you are influenced by the ads and the self-emotion concludes your decision.

daikin price is competitive.

Midea plasma price is less competitive.

mitsubishi heavy industries is performance type

mitsubishi electric is branding type.

To see the total net weight difference (deluxe model)

1 horsepower

daikin : 36kg

mitsubishi heavy industry : 35kg

panasonic : 34kg

York : 34kg (very high BTU hence it is very cooling at full speed, so the drawback is the vibration)

internal - irritating wind sound

external - vibration

Sharp is the lowest performance among Panasonic, York, Daikin, hitachi, Mitsubishi heavy industry, Mitsubishi electric.

buy the cheapest sharp plasmacluster air purifier to enjoy the fullest advantage of the feature.

value added on the aircond is the selling bullet (company tactic), how many percent efficiency?

1hp deluxe aircond = RM1k

deluxe air purifier = RM1k

perhaps u enjoy 5-10% plasmacluster feature from the aircond (if the room is big, how?)

too much.

4 years extended warranty deal is less than Rm1600

It is OEM from Midea.

Both are branding aircond.

One of the brands uses Daikin inverter technology know-how.

Daikin is performance aircond.

Different class.

One is aircond specialist brand , another one is domestic product specialist brand.

If you would like to go for branding image -> Panasonic

If you would like to go for performance image -> Daikin
