Hitachi is basically the best there is in ACs.now its been long since i;m using this AC approx 5 yrs. Not a single problem caused. I Have also used LG and Samsung ACs but the cooling time it takes to cool the room is finominal . though the prices of Hitachi are a bit high but its worth it .Really . in extreme summer it only takes 5 mins to cool my room . So many automatic features which you cant get in other companies ACs. LCD display with POWER USING AND SAVING indications.i recommend this product to you.
