In my place only three known brand available
1. Voltas
2. Lg
3. Samsung
Shopkeeper recomended for Whirlfool & Hier(May be for his more comission)
I am using Voltas 1.5 ton 4 star ac purchased in 2018. And I bought directly from Tatacliq.com . This site owned by Tata. They gave me part Warrenty of 5 year including gas leakages / issue. Soni request you if u want Voltas buy directly from this site. And I have paid 0 rupees for installation because of offer.
Pls let me know which 1 u end up buying.
Voltas is not a bad brand ,its just ok for the price,some of my relatives have it and they are satisfied with it .Many people underrate still its ok ,but still if you can expand the budget then do so because there are more brands with better build quality and service .
Premium brands -
Carrier ,Mitsubishi ,Daikin ,Hitachi ,Bluestar ,O General ,Whirlpool
Decent /Ok brands-
Panasonic, MarQ ,Voltas, Onida, Haier
I suggest you inverter AC ,why ?
Because it consumes less energy .its very smooth in operation and makes less noise
Attaching a link so you can know more about it -

About the Dual and Triple you can read this and decide on your own -

Also try to buy an AC with copper condensor instead of Aluminum Condensor ,they are better but a lil bit more costly
Read about it here https://www.bijlibachao.com/air-conditioners/ai...
Also do check energy consumption on each AC because after purchasing AC ,its the bill which matters the most
You can take help of various energy calculators on the internet they will give you an estimate.Just like this one -

Do read this too – https://www.bijlibachao.com/air-conditioners/ai...
See the features of the AC ,compare and buy the one best in price.
I personally suggest you to go for Carrier they have really good service and are very responsive just a personal suggestion other brands i have mentioned here are good too ,all of them provide good service especially Daikin ,you can go for them if your budget is allowing to .They are expensive though.
Dont forget to compare online and offline prices sometimes you get cheaper price in Online stores too ( thats what happened with me) ,if you can wait try to buy on Summer Sale Flipkart usually comes up with a Sale between May-June-July.
more the stars ,lesser the electricity bills
Okay bro any comment on Lg & Samsumg..Because The Brands you mentioned is not available in my place.
- LG or Samsung both are good. I would not recommend Voltas, as their hardware is mostly imported from China. It is not the case with LG or Samsung, they invest decent resources in designing the stuff.
- Go for inverter type ac; power savings, efficient operation, more controls/sensors
- ACs usually have 3 main rotating motors. 1. Compressor, 2. Condenser fan 3. Blower fan inside home.As the number of inverters increase, these motors are converted to BLDC/PMSM type where they are energy efficient. So a double inverter is likely where compressor and blower fan are bldc type and condenser fan is standard induction motor. The combination could be any, it is up to manufacturer’s discretion. A tripe inverter is where all the main motors are all bldc/pmsm type.
+Kg bro
Got quotes from local shop for 3 star inverter split:
Blue Star 38k
Hitachi 38.5k
Voltas 33k
Installations have to pay extra.
No online shopping available as of now.
Kindly suggest.
Where do you stay?
have voltas, didnt face any issue for last 3 years wrt performance
if you dont have high budget, can look into it
via tatacliq you may get good perks
No delivery at my place as of now
In my opinion buy Daikin AC using it from more than 6 years and still working like a charm after regular service and Hitachi is also a good option. If u are low on budget go for Lloyd AC they are light on pocket and good in performance
Mitsubishi heavy duty and O General are the premium brands.
Daikin, LG, Samsung would be next. Hitachi failure rate is too high
I would prefer LG over Samsung (personal choice)
…Buy 5 star…initially it costs slightly more but in 3 -5 years it will save you money…
…Buy inverter ac…
…regarding dual or triple inverters ….fancy terms…your guess is as good as mine…
….Performance of Ac brands is like performance of formula 1 car drivers….the last one is just 3% worst than first….
…Happy buying….
thanks
VU+ , good Post
Please suggest me a good 1.5 ton AC, need to buy today or tomorrow
my brother decided on https://www.amazon.in/Hitachi-Inverter-Split-Co...
after he visited local croma store with my cousin…
any better one.. I found Panasonic 1.5 Ton AC Too in similar price https://www.amazon.in/Panasonic-Inverter-Copper...
Location is important when suggesting AC.
Generally if weather (heat) is extreme then O’General & Mitsubishi are recommended followed by Hitachi & Daikin.
1.o general
2.daikin
3.LG
4.voltas
depend on use and location , if in north india where AC dont run all year and you use only after coming home in night take a 3 star else go for 4 star
5 star will be waste as electricity is getting cheaper
Buy 3 star 2020 model ac bro instead of 5 star if your usage is normal..Can’t comment about Lg or Samsung as i have Hitachi AC.
