It would be great if you mention the total amount spent on this AC.
LG 1.5 ton dual inverter 5 Star AC review
I am talking about this AC : https://www.flipkart.com/lg-1-5-ton-5-star-spli...
My cousin recently bought this AC because
1. Electricity efficiency (most important)
2. 5 year PCB warranty
3. becuase it’s LG (we have a LG refrigerator been running for about 17-18 years)
Some findings
1. At full capacity i.e 1.5ton the average electricity consumption was hovering between 600-700watts/Hour (the operating temprature was 26°C as at any temprature that is lower than body temprature you won’t feel hot.)
2. At 40% capacity i.e 0.6ton (as it is a dual inverter AC we can lower tonnage also) the electricity consumption was just 200watts/Hour and i think this is as low as it gets. don’t beleive that sq ft thing too much when AC is operated continuously even 1 ton AC is sufficient for 150sq ft (company suggest 1.5ton)
Things to keep in mind:
1. 1000 watts = 1 unit of electricity.
2. When the compressor starts the load is maximum (around 1600watts) but it never reaches that point after it.
3. The findings are for average continuous use for whole night (if u use 1-2 hours they will be different)
4. We have non inverter 1.5ton godrej AC also it takes around 1650 watts per hour means it may take 10 units for 6 hours use & in the similar case the LG AC at full capacity takes around 4 units (calculated for 6.5 hours usage,this was taken from actual meter)
It cost me 41,800 but i think this will be recovered in short span of time as with proper setting it takes electricity similar to a cooler.
Flipkart quoted 1700 for installation.
Any query is welcome.

How are you measuring watts/hour ?

for longer duration (electrcity department meter reading – all other electronics in the house) The readings are mostly accurate as they are average of 2 weeks & measured daily.

The above mentioned one and do check out offline stores too unless you are getting it for significantly less price elsewhere (online sale/card offer).

those are ratings not reviews!! i still don’t trust reviews of most things online u will find idiots who werent able to get a replacement/refund and then they blame retailer and people who don’t have knowledge of what they were buying.
what i did was a review still buy a dual inverter AC of any brand it is worth it.
i bought it when there was 0 reviews but researched first.

Good luck getting replacement or refund for AC that is installed. No company will replace their AC. Also if installation not done by official technician then they will deny that 1 year comprehensive warranty also.

I don’t have an exact measure but we could see a dip in electricity bill in peak summer months when we moved from 10 year old 3 star 2 ton LG AC to new 4 star dual inverter 1.5 ton LG AC. Other one was 6 year old Onida 1.5 Ton AC to same 4 star 1.5 ton dual inverter LG AC.
Bill reduced by 25% during peak summer months last year when AC usage was max.
This year we added 2 more 4 star dual inverter 1.5 ton LG AC to our hall and started using one more 1.5 ton Onida 3 star AC that’s almost 10 years old and it runs 24×7 literally. Our electricity bill is 2.13x of what it was last year during peak summer. I am assuming one of the main culprit is the Onida AC that’s running all day and night. Also, both the ACs in hall run for almost 8 to 10 hours each day which were not present last year.
Overall, I am happy with the performance of dual inverter LG ACs. Haven’t had any issue so far. The oldest one was purchased in Feb 2020, just before covid lockdowns began in India.

ya i know that it was just a generic example that people try to do these kind of things and then try to malign image of retailer/platform.
from 2013 till now i needed replacement of only 2-3% things i ever bought but people generally buy anything & think they can easily get replacement/refund you will find many comments on mobile phones reviews stating the same that platform denied replacement/refund and most of them are not genuine !!

i bought lg 3 star 1.5 ton dual inverter ac , and believe me it can save good on electricity bill for us, at 60% capacity running for 8 hours at 26 degree in night it consumed 5 units which is good IMO.  doesnt make much sense to buy 5 star unless you’re using the ac all the time.
Amount i spent wasÂ
- 30000K for AC
-1415 for installation
- 350 for sturdy outdoor unit stand (yes buy it from local market , installation guy will demand 800-900 for the same thing)
- 1500 for stablizer (optional)
tip – if you want to measure the exact wattage and units consumed use wipro smart plug , it costs around 1000-1200

Nicely explained but personally I don’t like LG AC. I have some bad experience with LG dual inverter AC. It’s PCB always gets faulty after some time, even it was covered in warranty, I had sold it at 15K & bought Daikin AC.

we have a godrej non inverter AC we dont even use voltage stabilizer with it never got any problem using it since 2016 but it consumes so much electricity 🙃

My Daikin AC is also running without stepliser it’s working perfectly. I live in Apartment & here voltage is consistent as we have dedicated transformer for the Apartment. The technician who was coming to check my LG AC saying there is some manufacturing defects with some LG AC & LG is now discounting some models. Even he was from LG, he suggested me to go for O general or Daikin for durability & best cooling.

Is installation by company is mandatory to claim guarantee of AC ?

yes i know but there is may written instead of will , the only proof to brand installation is the bill they provide in the end and one can always say they lost it as it isn’t requisite to claim warranty if pushed they will honour.
