I bought a Siemens 335 litre unit from dealer in Pune , 2001. After much survey I zeroed on Siemens because of its brand name, German product, even though it was around 20% higher than most korean brands. I was a little specific on the make of the compressor. Siemens was offering a German make compressor, while others we giving a korean one.
But I soon discovered that my decision was terribly wrong.
Year 2002: The unit stopped working, ice formation on the fan.
Year 2004: The compressor failed, replaced after 45 days by siemens
Year 2005 to 2006: Small, persistent problem like ice formation, gas recharge, control panel faulty etc
Year 2007: Again the compressor failed.
Every time the technician attends, he mentions that he has faced the problem for the first time.
Ye siemens walone germany ka namm pura mitti me milla diya, aur customer ko chuna laga diya.
I will strongly not recommend
No 2 Siemens, No 2 Siemens, No 2 Siemens, No 2 Siemens
