Buying from reliance digital/croma is better considering customer service but they are a bit costlier.
Vijay sales is a bit cheaper but it is equivalent to buying from online as they don’t help in case any problem arises. You will have to directly deal with brand. Generally if you buy a good branded product then there is no risk as brands do take care of everything.

if you have hdfc card still sale is on flipkart till midnight today.
No 1: Daikin, Hitachi, BlueStar
No 2: Carrier, LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Whirlpool (not clear if whirlpool is no2 or no3)
No 3: Godrej, Onida, Sharp (by Panasonic), Midea (by Carrier), Sansui
Few things you should keep in mind:
* Copper is better (then aluminium or alloy)
* 5 star rating is best, but 3 star is also good if you compare price difference and then annual electricity consumption (i have all 3 star ACs). 3 star models are easily available.
* Features like: auto restart, sleep, timer are common in all ACs but imp to have
* Also look for highest temp compressor support (some compressor works supports outside temp 45C and some upto 48 or 50C). This is imp for north India as my old AC compressor gets cutoff at outside 45C, and then restart after 5 min cooling time (prefer to take upto 48C compressor)
* Remote - if it glow at night, it better (like Voltas glows, Hitachi remote has led light, for Daikin you need to take out your mobile phone light as Daikin AC indoor unit do not display temp also), but this is not a mandatory feature if you get a better deal
* Gas - now R32 is latest, and previous one was R410, but I think both have same cooling performance (R32 is good for our env ozone layer)
* Warranty: Usually warranty is 1, 5 years (i.e. 1 yr compete ac and 5 yr compressor). Some AC provide 1, 10 so this is better, and some provide 1, 3, 10 (2yr extended for condencer, PCB and gas refilling). If you are getting this 1, 3, 10, then definately this is good as 2 yr extende warranty costs anywhere between 2000-3000. And gas refilling is a major relief specially for Split AC as split AC have common problem of gas leakage if any of the pipe joint has even 0.001% gap. Also note Voltas offer 4 yr extended warranty (1, 5, 5) if purchased from Croma store or TataCliq.cm or Croma.com website, this is good offer, but condition is that 2nd yr onwards you should book AC service from Voltas custcare (their service cost is high but it ensure that you have maintained Voltas AC properly, then only Voltas honor your extended warranty)
* Split AC: If buying split AC, you can go for inverter split ac as it reduces electricity bills (compare annual electricity consumption given in all ACs and then decide). Please note inverter split AC PCB is the most sophisticated part and if damaged it costs 7000-9000 if PCB without warranty
* Stablizer: though stablizer free operation is mentioned, bubt advisble to keep a stablizer dedicated for AC (costs 1600 V-Guard VG400 or 2000 for VG500)
* Last but not the least Price: This is the deciding factor for most of us (incl me) 
. If you are getting a extremely good deal in any of the No 3 AC listed above, buy extra extended warranty and enjoy. So buying Daikin 1 ton 3 star inverter split in 32K + 1500 installation + 1600 stablizer + 2000 other install costs = 36-37k (for 1, 5yr warranty). Or if you get Onida 1 ton 3 star inverter split ac in 21K + 1K install + 2k extdnded warranty = 24k is also a good deal. Similarly Midea is same 1 ton 3 star inverter split AC cost 23k + 1k install + 2k extdned warranty (total 1, 2, 10yr) costs 26K is also good deal.
You have to decide you want premier or No 1 brand or go with no 2 or no 3 in a damm good deal.
I recently bough Bluestar 1 ton 3 star inverter split from amazon in 30.5k + rs500 install = 31k (getting 1, 3, 10 yr warranty) but no cashback. I wanted to buy Onida 1 ton interver split from flipkart in 21+1+2k for extdend warrnty =24k but it was not deliverable at my pincode. Other no 2 brands were costing 29-30k, so i opted no 1 brand in 31k from amazon with no cashback
The greenest gas is R290 not R32. It is available with Godrej Air conditioners only. The reason manufacturers use R32 is because it is kept royalty free by Daikin.

I got 2 units of the Godrej R290 1 ton inverter split in 2018 & even today they still run like as if they are new.
You seem to have got a large appliance during the wrong time as the lock down is caused a lot of service issue in different sectors.
Buy Hitachi with 10 year warranty on compressor
5 years warranty for other parts
Not all models of Hitachi have 10 yr on compressor, but model you selected has 10yr on compressor, then Hitachi is great choice
OGeneral ones are costlier but they are the best and even after 5 years they give the same level of cooling. and please dont go for invertor technology
Y should we avoid inverter models
What a useless BlueStar customercare 
I am trying to book installation but so called 24×7 no plays recorded msg they will call back. Rcvd one call ystrdy and call disconnected. Since then nobody called back. Dialed tollfree 5 times, heard they will call back in 2 hrs
How much time ur ac take to reduce Temperature from 42°C to 24°C now a days??Please do mention ur ac brand and ton also.
20-30 min, three sided sun faced room.
Go for bluestar…… Nice and best
Also look for highest temp compressor support?? @worldindia2000
WTF is that i never heard of this before…i switched on my daikin 1.5 ton split inverter ac for the first time this season 10 days back in the afternoon and after about 20 mins outdoor unit cut off and then after another 5-10 mins the indoor unit shut off and the system led started blinking…after googling i was able to find out the error code which was F6 (Outdoor Refrigerant overcharged??) …i cleaned the filter and tried it again later that day at night and it ran fine for an hour and then i switched it off…..tried again the next day in the afternoon and the outdoor unit cut off again after 10-15 mins….the technicians finally showed up today after numerous calls and they checked the gas pressure and voltage and were totally stumped and left saying a senior technician is going to come tomorrow …the avg max temp has been hovering around 45 degrees this past week in delhi does that have anything to do with this problem and if so then what a bloody joke 
Inverter ac is superior than non inverter one. Period.
Also Half knowledge is dangerous.
I have been using a LG 1.5 Ton 4 Start inverter AC since Feb 2020 and it’s been great so far. The AC is very silent, in fact when fan speed (in AC) is set to low you wonder if the AC is even on or not, not exaggerating! The 2020 series of inverter ACs have option of setting the compressor efficiency at 4 different steps, 40%, 60%, 80% or 100% efficiency. In rainy season when it’s just humid and you want to switch on the AC primarily to remove the humidity from air you can switch on the AC at 40% efficiency thus consuming lot less power.
Hope it helps.
Is it normal for outdoor fan to turn off after it reaches the desired temprature in inverter AC?
Currently using midea 1.5 ton inverter ac
In my ac outdoor fan turn off when desired temperature is achieved. is it normal in inverter ac?
@raghupro @Tera_Jija
And also where to get good deals on inverter split ACs? I noticed that flipkart and amazon both have withdrawn cashback deals, though it was there 2 days back but that time they were not delivering anything in my areas. Now when delivery is opened, they withdrawn all cashbacks.
Is it better to buy from reliance digital, vijay sales, chroma ??
