Me and my husband was planning to but an AC before the summer comes this year. After a brief market research & recommendation, we opt for Panasonic Split AC: It has got 5 stars(means lesser electricity consumption) and copper coil(it exchange heat better than aluminium coil). Look wise it seemed okay to us: nothing attractive. Panasonic is Japanese company so they concentrate more on technology(we guessed).


Duration of use:- Though writing this review on this product based on small experience, only for last 15days, I hope this will help you to choose your one smartly.


Price & Purchasing:- We bought 1ton because my bedroom is small. Price seemed a bit higher than other brands in same category. Godrej, Hitachi, Samsung, Daikin are also of high range. The showroom('Great Eastern', a chain of electronic showroom) guys wanted us to buy Samsung or Hitachi instead. Where LG, Electrolux, Kelvinator, Whirlpool, Voltus are much cheap. Though it depends on how many stars it has. My AC has got 5 stars+ inverter.


Whatever, got delivered after 3 days of purchasing. There was no fresh machine to delivery immediately. In context I must say, we paid the whole price by cheque at once.


Installing:- Then the company guys came after 7days of delivery, for installation. They did recee of place to install the outdoor unit and gone only installing the indoor unit as they did not bring longer pipe it required. Then they came after one day and finally our AC got installed after 12 days of buying. They call it FREE but the company staffs charged us approx 2500 bucks showing price for longer pipes etc. which is more than three times than actual market price of same quality pipes. Fitting hosts and anchors are okay.


Operation & Range of Program:- The indoor unit is compact. Display panel is fine, shows temperature in big fonts, can be seen clear in dark/light. It has three control modes which can give you different experience. You control it manually setting desired temperature, then cool mode takes the moisture out while cooling on fixed temperature and sleep mode automatically keep increasing set temperature at every hour and auto-off after 8 hours. One thing bothering me that the remote cannot be kept off while not in use, remote screen remains on always(it consumes battery).


Performance:- This AC is pretty slow when it comes to cooling time. If you want cool breeze, keep it on swing. The blower can be set as desired. But the direct air coming out is really really cool.


Electricity Consumption:- This feature must be checked while buying large electronic products. It cuts off the bill. The AC I purchased got 5 stars and suppose to consume lesser electricity in comparison to other. I am not sure about it's consumption level because the electricity bill yet not arrived. I will update this review after receiving the bill.


Comparison:- We have got one 3 star split AC of SHARP and one window AC of Voltus(this one is 12yrs old) in our home. Both of the ACs working good, in good condition, cools fast(than this new one). But there is more noise from these ACs, while Panasonic is almost silent. Electricity consume is average.


Value for money:- Not that bad. Also I'm not super happy.


All Over Experience:- OKAY


Rate:- 5.5 out of 10


Recommendation:- YES(You may buy, but there are choices from other brands in this range. Check them too.)
