Hi friends, from my very first savings of my hardly earned money I decided to buy a window air conditioner. After going through the technical details of quiet a few of them in the market, I opted for the videocon VNA1800 ELDXI window ac with remote, which has quiet lucrative technical details.
I will describe all one by one:
Remote: The remote of the ac is a very desi one. Senses the command 2 in 10 times. It has a SEND key which has to be pressed if the ac doesn’t recognize the command, then the command is SEND to the unit. In short you just cant press the button on the remote and be assured that the ac is performing the action you requested. You have to be on alert always.
Swing: Swing action cancels after auto restart.
Cooling: Temp range on the unit is from 18-30. I have got my room 100% sound and air insulated by professionals but till date when the outside temperature is 40 and inside (without ac running) is 34, the temperature dropped down by the ac is at 24 max and that also after the ac runs for approx one hour.
Power consumption: Thus the power consumption goes high irrespective of all the projected details as per the company.
Vibration and sound: The Unit’s fan was hitting the cabinet when it came, got it corrected somehow, but, the vibration from the unit is so prominent that each and every person dropped in ever since I have purchased this unit has noticed it.
Current consumption:The current consumption is 11.6 Amps for my unit although the company claims 9.5 Amps.
Fan speed: There are three fan speeds which practically dont vary much.
Service: I had requested for a tech visit on the second day of purchase of the unit, annoyed by all the good features of the product. The guy came in after four days. For a brand new Defective ac making lot of noise with extra poor performance I had to wait for four flat days and chase different people and the dealer to get a tech to my house. Finally when the tech came in he tried to convince me on each and every issue rather looking for the fault and rectifying it. The service boy that came was trying to convince me and trying to get relief for his work by telling me- Sir machine hai itni awaaz to karegi hi etc.etc.
I had a very bad experience overall and would not recommend it to anyone but enemy. Anyone who wants to talk over the same, feel free.
