Hi why Daikin why put down by Technician ? what the reason?
i am thinking of Daikin, Mitsubishi and Toshiba youme 2.0 series
Daikin
Hi there. They share to me, in their personal opinion that the quality and material used are not as good as the past.
Certain things, you use hand touch you also know good or lousy.
Not one, not two, but quite 3 different technician shared to me.
Their 3 ticks was fine, 4 ticks was horrible, 5 ticks mixed review.
But I must say their MKS (current R410) series is quite cold and strong.
Mitsubishi
No doubt, all technician support doing Mitsubishi Electric (ME), but not Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). They are totally 2 different things.
Material is good and easy to service (duh servicing is their job).
Looking at the specs, ME seems to have the highest performance figure.
The FN (current R410) series seems to have a few feedback of premature PCB failure on the compressor.
Do note that the Thailand factory is facing crunch in parts to assemble the latest R32 model.
Mitsubishi is great. Myself, I am using a half-dead 1st gen R410 Mitsubishi installed in 2012.
Compressor control PCB failed. FCU on 1 of the rooms was neglected and also beyond chemical cleaning.
Blame it on my family's poor effort to maintain the FCU.
As for the compressor, I do wonder if it's due to west sun directly attacking my compressor. My 2nd compressor to fail after my 14 yrs old Sanyo calling it a day (valve jammed).
Others
Other brand MIC and MIK, I didn't bother to research.
MIJ brand still my preferred but I avoid Sharp and Hitachi as I don't think A/C is their forte. Fujitsu I had bad experience with them.
As for Panasonic, many friends and relative uses them, but I have never felt they are cold enough as compared to the rest.
Toshiba
So, I settled with Toshiba, installing end of this month. I am eager.. (also, a brand I nv thought I would buy)
Playing at the demo set (at our most popular aircon company.. the yellow colour), I was very impressed with what's blown to my face.
Hear the salesman talk talk a bit, I see see and compare compare..touch touch..
The blower is very big, the fins is close to each other, as compared to other same btu model.
Even the air filter gives me a different feel. You should open up and take a look and feel.
However, Toshiba has the lowest cooling capacity on paper amongst all other brand in it's similar spec/category. But, the moment I turned it on, the air is cold immediately. The highest wind is stronger than many other brand's highest wind.
And again, reviews by other users in this thread since 2019 this model was introduced, has been positive and managable.
The only thing I suspect why it's not selling as popular as Panasonic, it's the highest price tag of Toshiba. (tips: They giving $150 capital land voucher now).
Servicing
-I believe that getting an aircon that is easily serviceable is imperative.
Such as the ease of pulling out the blower tube for proper wash.
People may argues that this is the job of the technician, why we worry!
But hey, make their job easier, you things get done better, and don't bend your fins unnecessarily.
For this, all technician shared with me that MHI and Fujitsu's blower is very hard to pull out. Both brand are very focused on it's fins design (to make it cooler) but they forgot about the blower.
I also forced myself to buy servicing packing so I will service my aircon periodically to avoid premature failure.
Above is my personal analysis and opinion for the choice I made. People who disagree with me, please feel free to share but don't flame me.
