Planning to buy 2*(1.5 ton 5 star ) ac for room in the upcoming sale bbd/ amazon … Room size - 160sq ft.
I see flipkart promoting IFB ac a lott … idk abt this brand … currently using samsung wind free 1.5 ton 3 star , but the same model with 5 star is too expensive.

So suggest me a good split AC ( Must be wifi enabled 🙂) … one question , as per the BEE star rating it is mentioned mainly till Dec 2024 … so will i have a downside if I buy in this sale as new star rating will get updated after Dec i think .
 
Check LG, my friend bought 1.5 ton 6 star in last sale (May), works amazing and easy control
 
AC should be bought in the following brands O'General > Daikin > Bluestar/Panasonic.

Other brands depends completely on your luck of whether they last a long time or become a nuisance. O general is the king but costs a goddamn ton , Daikin is slightly cheaper but has lesser features. Bluestar and panasonic are at same price and are damn good for their price , bluestar would last solidly while panasonic's smart app is the best right now .

Skip the 2.5pm or 0.1pm air filter / wifi enabled models if you are not living in a very dusty or polluted places. That will save you money. Cause if you take bluestar 1.5 ton 5 star , wifi model will be atleast 3-5K costlier.

Make sure to also calculat an additional 3-5k for installation including additional wiring and stuff.

1.5 ton 5star would easily cost you 45k , if you are looking at 40k or lower , go for 1.5 ton 3 star. Or hope you get lucky with nice card offers during the upcoming sale.

If you are getting a stabiliser no matter what, skip the ac brand ones, go for vguard which would cost around 2-3k max .

Thanks for ur reply bro … so it seems bluestar/ panasonic will fit in my budget … with good card offers and gst invoice , i can expect a great deal … wifi feature I’m thinking to filter out seeing the additional cost it comes up with … regarding stablizer why there is a need for it ? Nowdays most ac have stablizer free operation inbuilt in … isn’t?

We dont need a stabilizer but i suggested the option just in-case you still plan to take one. Also, when they come for installation , they will try their best to sell you a stabilizer, so either get the v guard or similar one earlier, or dont get a stabilizer itself.
 
I believe shelling out so much cash for O-general or Mitsubishi isn't worth it. They are already way costlier than what's available in the market, sure their built quality is at par with other brands but then their maintenance is a hassle. Parts are costly, availability has been an issue for me.
I'd suggest go for daikin if you just want good cooling & don't care about convertibility, no smart features, and want a basic looking AC.
If you're looking for a complete package, I'd say Panasonic is the best in under 40k range as it offers almost everything anyone would look for in an AC.
