I bought an ac last year. It's a parasonic 1.5-ton 5-star AC. I like this ac as it's smart and the top model from Parasonic. and my usage in summer is around 16 hours or more, so I opt for a 5-star one. I usually use it at 25 at low fan speed, and it consumes very little electricity as per the Parasonic app. I live in Bankura, WB. And according to many sources, it is now among the top 7 hot places in the world (46 degrees). so last 3 days my ac is at around 24 mid fan

I'm using Mitsubishi Electric AC (5 star). Cooling is excellent.
Always buy 5 star AC for power saving and best performance.

Which app is this to know consumption?

Official LG (ThinQ) and Panasonic (MirAle) apps will show the consumption if your ac is wifi enabled smart ones.
Otherwise you need to rely on a smart plug like Wipro, Tplink etc that has energy monitoring feature.

I recommend Samsung's WF Convertible 5S AC.

It has Samsung's superior WindFree technology and is also 6-in-1 Convertible, and also a Smart AC with 5 stars having 1.5Ton. Even though it's pricey, with these features and 5 star rating, it's worth it and is completely future proof.


Star rating depends on your usage. If you use it frequently I recommend 5 star or if you use it rarely or only sometimes then 3 star does the job, but it will blow your pocket as much you keep it running

 

[Iamgora]

Which app is this to know consumption?

This MirAle app is parasonic. My AC is a smart AC. So I can manage and check the consumption on the app.

It totally depends on your usage pattern.

I have limited (daily 2-4 hours) usage. So, I am using Hitachi Senpai 1.8 ton (2 Star, 3.75 ISEER) & 1 ton (3 Star, 3.85 ISEER) fixed speed ACs.

Pros.
1. R32 Ecofriendly refrigerent.
2. Fixed Speed Compressor. Lesser electronics compared to inverter ACs. So, long lasting.
3. Energy efficient in Fixed Speed AC range.
4. Quickly cools down large room. (1.8 ton AC cools down my 350 Sq Ft living room in just 20 minutes, 1 ton AC cools down my 160 Sq Ft bed room in 10 minutes)
5. Made in India ACs. So, price is lower compared to Mitsubishi & OGeneral Brands (Thailand Imports).
6. Heavy duty ACs compared to Panasonic, Lloyd, Voltas, LG, Samsung and other electronic brands.

Cons.
1. No automation features from company but you can include automation using IR Blaster gadgets.

I would suggest go for ac with highest seer rating like blue star having 5.41 iseer or daikin having 5.8 for 1.5 ton and 6.2 iseer for 1 ton

• Pros: High energy efficiency with a 5-star rating, inverter technology for energy savings, low noise operation, and fast cooling.

1. Whirlpool 3D Cool Inverter AC 1.5T Magicool

Overall, each of the recommended air conditioners offers high energy efficiency with a 5-star rating and inverter technology for energy savings. However, some models are slightly more expensive and may require professional installation. It's important to consider your budget, room size, and personal preferences before making a final decision on which air conditioner to purchase.

I have 3 Mitsubishi and 3 bluestar AC, both are good. When it comes to service and spare parts availability and repair support, i loved bluestar. The service of Mitsubishi is the worst ever i have seen.

Some of the smart features can be missed in bluestar, but it's fine as in real time usage, one would barely use those features.


Go for bluestar with 5 star for power saving.

If it's too hot in your area go for 5 in 1 , or else go for 4 in 1.

Other good brands when I did reasearch is Daikin but it's costly.

Even after worst service, the cost of service for Mitsubishi is freaking ₹1100 😂 but the AC is quite good. Service is issue.

 

[pandyag]

i would suggest bluestar.

i would suggest bluestar.

Bluestar doesn't have smart features

 

[Subhajeet]

Bluestar doesn't have smart features

that's not needed performance matters don't go for extra features meant to befool primary function of ac is cooling and not smart features also bluster is the industry leader for the same and the oldest in the industry in India

And even I am so confused between LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star & Panasonic 1.5 Ton 5 Star AC, my room is ~125 sqft. and has direct sunlight throughout the day, with a discount of 2.75k on both the ACs, I can get LG @ 42,740 INR and Panasonic @ 41,740 INR on Flipkart

I am using Panosonic 1.5 Ton 5 Star AC and it's good. also, I would recommend to check at Reliance Digital, they always gives better rate compare to any portal or store. I have been able to always negotiate by upto 1-2k compare to price available at other platforms.

I would suggest -
If money is not a constraint - Go with Ogeneral/Mitsubishi
Want smart features - Go with Panasonic/LG/Samsung
Want more cooling capacity - actual cooling capacity in terms of W - Go with Daikin - 5 star 1.5 ton gives - 5280W cooling(100%)
Best services - LG/Samsung/Panasonic(much improved compared to last year)

5 star/3 star - If only 4 months use, only at nights - eyes closed take 3 star. If 6-8 months or more use and also daytime usage - go for 5 star.
3 star 1.5 ton will cost 30-40k, 5 star 1.5 ton will cost 45-55k.

1 ton/1.5 ton - Depends on sq foot of room - till 120 sqft - 1 ton is sufficient, above that take 1.5 ton, if room size> 170-180 sq ft take 2 ton

Take only inverter ACs if you want it at home - as they are new technology ones.

Warranty - check compressor warranty - 5/10 years, check PCB warranty - 1-5 years. PCB replacement cost is high - so PCB warranty should be there.

Checkout some videos in youtube regarding AC reviews.

As per my personal experience, considering all factors I bought this recently from Reliance Digital(good offer for my exchange)- Panasonic 1.5 ton 5 star smart AC 2023 model with 5100W cooling - has smart wifi features with MirAIe app. Has 5 yr PCB warranty and 10 yr compressor warranty. Its sleep profile functionality is really good. It cost me around 48k. Gave 3k for my 12-15 year old 1 ton AC additional. I bought in March end during offers.

Note : Installation will be 1-2k extra. If stand for outdoor unit required - will cost more. Also buy extended warranty - 1/2/3/5 years. Also get a AC stabilizer if stabilization issues in your area.
