Air conditioner suggestion daikin or voltas

[Smh]

I am looking to buy a 1 ton AC and have shortlisted some models.

https://www.croma.com/daikin-standard+-series-1-ton-4-star-inverter-split-ac-copper-condenser-atkl35uv-white-/p/248190

(4 star energy rating 2022 model) Daikin website shows 5 yr PCB warranty and 10 yr compressor. On croma I guess warranty listed is wrong for this AC. (I am not sure if warranty will be void incase I don't get maintenance done regularly by Daikin authorized centers)

https://www.tatacliq.com/voltas-1-3-ton-maha-adjustable-inverter-5-star-copper-2021-range-165v-adx-r-32-split-ac-white/p-mp000000009393978

(5 star rating 2021 model) .Voltas is offering adjustable ton which I guess could be useful. But warranty is 1yr normal and 10yr on compressor. Somewhere I read PCB is most important for inverter AC. Tatacliq is offering extended warranty (10services included) for 5k

Amazon.in
Samsung is also offering adjustable ton but I don't know if their ACs are good and warranty is also same like tata 1yr + 10yr on compressor. No details about extended warranty from manufacturer.

I almost paid for the Daikin one but last year also I got a Daikin AC and was not happy with the installation charges and service quality. I was lucky to get copper pipe with product but their was no pm 2.5 filter as advertised I didn't complained to not waste my time. Also no drilling in wall (for pipes) was required still had to pay about 2.5k The quality of work was very unprofessional, no proper tools and they created a huge mess.

Technology wise which is better Daikin or voltas and how much difference it makes in real world usage?


@Samuel

P.S. why tf Daikin has so many models with same specs

decided to buy this. It has good coating on coil, very quite, personal experience with brand is good.

Edit: I would have opted for Daikin but their outsourced technicians are completely unprofessional or atleast in my experience. So going to give LG a try this time.

2nd edit:- bought this one, 2022 model. Above one is 2020 model with same specs only available at few places probably leftover/damaged stock.

are you really buying from reliance digital?

If your usage is between 16-20C, then it ready doesn't matter to get an inverter model as you will anyways be using inv model as non-inv. Infact, you would be better off getting an non-inv due to low price.
Inv series is about efficiency. My usage costs me around ₹210-250 as unit consumption per night is around 1-1.3 at 26C. I use LG 4* 1.5 ton.

LG does not make non-inverter ACs now from what I was told by their rep at company outlet.

 

[Smh]

Yes order placed. Should be delivered tomorrow.

It was becoming too confusing lol finally I can do some other work.

Best time to get an AC, you wouldn't have to wait and do endless follow-ups with the installation guys either.

My usage costs me around ₹210-250 as unit consumption per night is around 1-1.3 at 26C.

AC runs for how many hours during night ?
Rs210-250 seems quite good for an AC consumption

 

[Tejas01]

LG does not make non-inverter ACs

Yup. Didn't see the post above mine that he has already purchased one from LG. I meant from any brand in general.
@AAK around 8 hours..

Ac was delivered today around 6 pm. I ordered it very late around 11:30pm so probably next day delivery was delayed.

Called LG for installation. Local agency guy called they wanted to do the installation today. I scheduled it for tomorrow morning.

On reliance site it says interconnecting pipe included, hope its in the package.

Installation charges 1400+ doesn't include installing odu stand that costs extra lol. (Not talking about odu stand price). Let's see what will be the final price.

You would get some copper pipe included with the unit, if you require more than that you'd have to pay.

The mount for the outdoor unit does cost extra iirc.
