Just a month ago, I bought a brand new window ac after doing a hell lot of research and inquiring at many places and stores like Snehanjali, Vijay Sales, EZone, Next, CROMA, Big Bazar Elecronics Bazar and local dealers.
After all this research and reading reviews, I am upto writing a review for you people so that you people don’t have to do all that stuff again and hopefully I can help you in making a quick decision.
Air conditioners are majorly categorized into 2 types:
Window AC
Split AC
Split AC
When you go for this product, following facts must be kept in mind:
Device as well as Installation is expensive than Window AC plus relocation requires installation from the scratch involving purchase of a new outlet pipe.
Cooling is excellent as it takes away hot air from inside the room and cools it. Much more efficient than Window AC in this respect.
Noise level is too low as compared to Window AC.
Window AC
Good choice for those who stay in rented flats. Even 1.0 Ton capacity is enough to cool a 12 X 12 sq feet room in minutes.
Easy Installation. Only a block in wall is required. Since drainage is outside (from rear part of AC), no holes in wall or pipes are required.
Much cheaper than Split ACs.
Brand Options
If you don’t compromise with quality and require the BEST in TOWN irrespective of the cost, following are the brands one should look for:
HITACHI (recommended most)
O GENERAL (recommended most)
DAIKIN
CARRIER
If you are a middle class person and can’t afford heavyweights, look out for the BEST among Indian brands:
VOLTAS
BLUESTAR
SAMSUNG
My EXPERIENCE:
I just bought VOLTAS VERTIS PLUS 1.0 Window AC for my 10 X 12 sq feet room 1 month ago. I delayed writing this review so that I can be sure of its service and features. It proved out to be an excellent choice for me. I bought it at a nominal price of INR 14500 from Rahi Electronics, Mira Road, Mumbai. I got it as the best shop giving me the lowest cost of the product. They charge a nominal fee of 100-200 INR bucks for proper installation in case you need.
The ac cools the room in approx 20 minutes and operates with very low noticeable noise. It also operates through a remote and has all basic features such as TIMER, SLEEP TIMER, FAN BLOW MODES and TURBO Cooling. I haven’t come across any problem till date and very satisfied with the operation of the AC.
I recommend to readers of this review to go for Voltas Vertis Plus only if you are looking for worth of your money.
Please rate this review after reading as per your choice.
Thanks & Regards,
