It’s cooling system is best in high temperature. am totally blank on Haier nor ever got the confidence to probe it. but I still would say that to think of it as ‘something Chinese’ might now help. My speech may be coloured from the bitterness of our 13 month old Daikins having gone bust wherever the OD was exposed to the sharp post noon sun(central India, 38 to 43 degree as per Met. Dept. way above in relative terms)
so my point is, now it isn’t about: Assembled in Thailand versus India or China. just look at the local support: howreliable is it at your location, inverter units are NOT designed for the best cooling or quick cooling and so can not be expected to be a child or a pets dream.
Usual cooling with saving over a long term to compensate for higher upfront costs are its USP.
