Scorching hot afternoon here in Kolkata... 41C! Feels like an oven outside :fever:

 

Don't forget the humidity. I was back home for a week, and every day felt like torture.

Bangalore.. :wub::wub:

Yes, humidity was high as well. Sweltering weather and the evening was no better.

 

Cooped up in my room with the air conditioner set at 23C, watching the World Cup.

My two ACs have gone bust. Likely that capacitors gave up. Both Hitachi.

Seriously, will never buy anything else other than General or Mitsubishi. The General I got last summer is a tank.

Delhi summers are too much for other brands.

Using LG and Voltas since 5+ years. Both are fine.

I recently interacted with a contract manufacturer. Makes coils and compressors for ACs, he told me the same thing as official service guys from these companies. Only 2 LG models over the last 10 years have been constructed keeping in mind the temperature conditions in India, if you were lucky enough to get them out of the bunch, they will serve you well. I have 1 LG model which is going strong since 10yrs, but is hardly used.

 

I am sure every company must have a decent batch of products but I don't want to play the lottery game, happy to pay more for General/Mitsubishi and get a solid product.

 

Also tonnage doesn't actually mean cooling capacity. Last year while shopping, same 1.5/2 ton AC from General had more cooling capacity in Watts as compared to other brands. Even then Watts is not the correct indicator because a lot of that capacity can be lost if not efficient.

From personal experience, the way Hitachi and LG has performed in my house over the years, General works far better and it's quite noticeable.

Where I stay in Noida, it's useless to spend on high end ACs. There's a sewer line about a km from our house, and every year the AC copper tubings either need welding or replacement. 

It's a huge market where I live. Coilings leak in less than a year. PCBs die easily.

Noida is an absolute nightmare for appliances specially ACs. Multiple gas leaks/coil replacements over the years for multiple brands in Noida. 

My office in Delhi has Voltas and Hitachi and they are running fine since years without any issues.
