Which Brand/model Of Aircon To Buy

[oasis 0]

Looking for:

- sys3 non inverter

- quiet compressor (cos it will be hanging outside the MBR)

- energy efficient

So many choices with pros and cons

Daikin

- Got a unit at home going strong after 10 years, heard stories of leaking but then again could be caused by installation?

Mitsu

- quiet compressor, strong branding. Newest easy clean model has filmsy plastic parts afraid will break.

Sanyo

- No experience with it

Toshiba

- Seen a lot of people in forum mentioning it

Any other brands/models to recommend? !!

Hi there!

My aircon system is a Mitsubishi Starmex but is inverter system 3.

Compressor unit is outside my MBR but almost no noise at all.

Cheers!

just my opinion, if you are going for value for money and quite, Toshiba is it! 22db noise level even for the non-inverter type. Only Starmex has it at 21db but if i'm not wrong, only for their inverter type. There is another solid feature about this Toshiba, Confort Sleep, which automatically adjust the environment temp upward as your body temp falls while you sleep.....

check it out... !!

I just installed a Panasonic System 3 which bought from Gaxx Cixx at $1599.

The fan coils are so quiet as compare with my previous old Mitsubishi.

However, I was really upset with their installer team. One of the installer who fitting up my common room fan coil, forget to connect the unit drain pipe to the drainage PVC pipe.

Before they left, they on all the system for me, closed all my room and ask me to have it operate for an hour to test the temperature.

Aftetr 1 hour when I open the common room and so shock to see the room flooded with water. The water dripping from the vertical trunking.

Immediate called the hotline and was told to wait for the installer team to return and fix the problem.

They kept me waited anxiously for nearly 4 hours at home and still can smile to me and said "aiya, I forget to connect and my team mate also never check!"

I think mine is an old model (CS-C9EKZWx3).

It is very quiet, especially in low fan mode, can't hear any noise unlike my old super noisy Mitsubishi System 5.
