4 air conditioners, bought and hanged in 2006, of different capacities. Non-inverter, did not go into the name of the models, (the models were not the cheapest at that time) because I completely trusted the installation company in terms of determining models and installation, based on the requirements and volume of the premises. They have been working for 10 years, without fail. Have not served more than once, just cleaned the home unit. Noise level is low. We can say that they work silently in general. There is also a quit mode, then the fact that the air conditioner works can be understood only by a blow of the breeze and light bulbs. I chose this brand according to reviews, because in the new apartment I wanted the best, reliable, but not cool tricked out, but just a good solid thing. Pay not for bells and whistles, but for reliability and functions. And the noise level was also a major factor.
Between Daikin, Toshiba and Panasonic, Panasonic chose Panasonic as the best quality-price-performance ratio. I’ll also note such a peculiarity that I can’t say for 10 years that one of us caught a cold thanks to the air conditioner, maybe this is one of the features of his work, and I also want to note the clean, “sterile” smelling air coming out of the wall unit, most likely due to good filtration and several filters, as well as the materials of which the device itself is made. Thanks to the “impeller” behind the air distribution damper, the flow breaks up and even in the “powerfull” mode it doesn’t look like a flow that blows through the body, but rather like the wind, and maybe that’s why I can’t remember that someone I got a cold from a codey, and we have 3 children.
I also want to note that for 10 years there hasn’t accumulated much dirt inside, on the turbine and deep entrails, because I heard that the air conditioners inside are dirty and the hotbed of mold - I can’t say this about our air conditioners, the usual pollution, for 10 years more could have been expected. Brushed, processed, washed well, clean again and like new. The turbine is very strong, not like a plastic bag (as in the video “how to clean the air conditioner” in other air conditioners), on the contrary, everything was done inside, I really liked it, it was done “for centuries”, you can say. From operating experience, I can advise, in hot and warm summer weather, do not turn off the air conditioning. Do not pull it again, let it cope on its own.
Set it at a temperature 3-5 degrees lower than on the street, in my experience, it is optimal to set it at a temperature of 25-27 degrees. You can only occasionally, for your greater comfort, increase / decrease the temperature by 1 degree (preferably not more) and the air flow rate (1-3 divisions), and in this condition it can work for weeks, you will stop noticing the air conditioner, and it will never take you will not blow, will not spoil health will maintain a good climate in the house.
pros
Reliable, well made, low noise, does not harm health - does not blow to the bones, no one gets sick, doesn’t accumulate especially mold and dirt inside, excellent air filtration, filters are easy to clean. In hot weather, it can live its life quietly for weeks without causing inconvenience. In the off-season it will fill the room with warm, dry air.
