When we (me and my wife) decided to buy an ac, for the approaching summer, the first question was "which brand and model"? There are so many of them around, spreading everywhere from Tv ads, to internet to local electronics shop. It's a highly complicated and confusing scenarios for a normal person to choose.
So, best thing we did was: to go to the nearest shop that was giving the free installation option (not really if brackets are reqd, you need to pay 750 for that) and free stabilizer. (compared later, they took 1500 already included in the price, eyewash) and giving zero percent emi (another eyewash, calculate their processing fee, it will be close to 10% fixed interest)
Anyway, we wanted to buy, so bought it. How we bought? followed a simple step, roam around and see which one was eye catching among the brands you have fixed(we were pre-determined on godrej/lg/onida/whirlpool). We were decided on 1.5 ton (our room size) split with 3 start rating, so were roaming within those profile only. All the brands except a few like O-general/carrier are the same. There is practically very little diff to a common man regarding performances between various brands. Some costs a bit more/less based on brand popularity. People argue to this, let them. I need ac that's all.
Bought this coral-red eye catch thing, at the first glance. The only aspect we looked was 6th sense technology. God knows what it is, but it's unique. You get 16deg super cool mode and the 6th sense works fine. The AC is doing it's basic job of conditioning air in heat (till now), but will gradually test it's performance in the coming summer. Till now, we are satisfied. The filter is a very very normal one, you can see in it's feature list while searching, the rest is at par with general ac genre. (except the 6th sense).
Nothing extraordinary except the look/color, no cons, except the filter which I felt could be better. Again, you can';t get everything fitted into your everything. So be happy. Enjoy the summer.
Took me 26500 +750 total, in Bangalore including installation/stabilizer. Bought it from Adiswar, in Marathalli.
Best,
Surajit
