After much research I finally decided to go 4 **lg 1.5 ton window ac
*other contenders:(The choices I had)
1:Carrier - without a doubt - its a great product being from market leaders.
Problem - non existence of after sales service n low quality(nowadays) earlier it was gr888 I am still using my 6 yr old Carrier in my study
2:o general: again a gr8 product very durable n quality hardware, higher cfm(1900) dn other brands, efficient rotary compressor n hydrophilic coated aluminum fines gives u a gr88 cooling n energy efficiency .
Problem - price tag 25 k guyz itz too expensive( but quality comes with a price) so if u have all the money plz dont read the review n go 4 OG itz d best
3.third option was voltas Good old reliable TATA product wid All required features low cost of ownership 17 k for 1.5 ton vertis plus was bargen 4 me, plus its an indian product(made in india)
Problem: I was allmost convinced dt I am gona go 4 voltas this time since its a indian brand but beware guyz this india ka AC is not made in india but its a chinese product made in prc dt is china
plus as far as after sales service is concern voltas is ill reputed in the marcket so had to rule it out. But overall a very good product
4: LG was d last choice as I was little apprehensive about its korean origen but what I found out about lg acs was mind blowing they have there manufacturing unit in noida n all the acs r assembled in india though the parts n compressorz r thailand made n lg uses matsushita(panasonic) compressorz 4 dr acs I was impressed wid d info since matsushita is a well know n reliable brand in compressor biz n they r key manufacturiers of rotary as well as reciprocating compressor n above all lg is global no.1 in acz as far as seles so good Market penetration n hence good after sales service plus we received some good remarks from our fly n friends about lgz product quality
SO we opted 4 lg 1.5 ton window ac LG-LWA5HW2DD1 n we r more then happy wid d product
we bought this machin from croma mumbai for 18000 INR wid free gift n installation service was prompt n our new ac was up n runing on same day of our purchase
performance of the aircon: Cooling is awesome. I bought a 1.5T for my room which actually needed a 1T so cooling is faster.
Had all the features required. Dry Mode for rainy seasons, LCD remote, Sleep Mode with on/off Timer, highly energy efficient compressor, goodbuilt quality which would last long.
wid all the above features it has gold anti-corrosive condenser **thus it gives gr888 cooling n durability as compared normal aluminumcondenser acs
it has 2 star **EER rating so no more hefty power bills to you Always check the EER rating. Makes a lot of difference in the long run. 2 Star is standard you should look for.
itz to early 2 say anything about d after sales service but so far so good
all in all a good product
my vote go 4 lg if u r lookin 4 VFM DEAL .OG IS GR888 AS A product SO IF U HAVE MONEY GO 4 OG ANY DAY
Break up of costing:
18000 INR FOR 1.5 TON AC
1500 INR FOR buying an MCB switch and cabling
G.TOTAL: 19500 INR
