This is my first product review of mine. Recently I bought hitachi RAU318KSD, which is known as KAZE model. for 31000+3000 in local showroom. (3000 for installation and stabilizer).
After various reviews from MS.com , I decided to go for Hitachi and very satisfied with its performance. This is a 3 start model and so it suitable for medium users i.e, 5-8 hrs a day. With in few hours of payment, I recieved a call from service center and gave clear explanation about requirements like power supply from main, plug point, area, and installation point info (height, length, breadth). When all of them are done, he came and fixed with in a day of my phone call. He explained about some precautions and remote controls and gave his number. I m very much satisfied by his support. I heard that hitachi got bad service, I m telling you guys "Not all service guys are lazy, it differs from area to area."
Coming to AC, it is cooling the room with in 10 mins completely. I find out various modes than any other AC companies are providing. I personally like Deep frost (cool room more faster) and silent cool(low noise) functions. It also have various modes according to the humidity.
But I have to notify that Noise level of indoor unit is somewhat high compared to other brands. So I suggest it is better for households. But dont think that you cant sleep, my grandmom whom dislike even small sounds while sleeping is able to sleep very peacefully.
***PROs: ***
1. very fast cooling (10mins is more than enough )
2. good customer support in my area (vijayawada, AP).
3. good air (rotors in indoor unit are v good)
4. good value for money
5. cost 300 KWH units for 21days (pc+fridge+cooler)
6. various user friendly modes.
***CONs:***
1. Indoor unit size is quite small which gives bold look and you may wonder like wheather it is a 1 ton.
2. High noise level of indoor unit.
***Conclusion:*** It is best suited for middle class families and mainly for household purposes.
I hope my review is useful and thank you mousthshut.com .
