I bought a 1.5T Hitachi Ace Inverter Split AC last year. I ordered it through Hitachi India online store Buy air conditioners, refrigerators at best price | Hitachi E-Shop and it was delivered to me in 1 month. I got employee discount on the AC and thus had to live with the delay in shipments but 1 month seriously sucks.
It is the best air conditioner I have seen till date. It cools brilliantly in hot Delhi weather and air throw is amazing.
(I/Close relatives have used: Hitachi Window, Hitachi Non-Inverter Split, LG Window, Haier Split , Carrier Window, Samsung Split, Voltas Split).
The room in which the AC is installed has an approx area of 185sq ft. The room has a big glass window 30sq feet (covered with a curtain) and AC is installed in direct sunlight.
I want to keep my room on the cooler side at 22 degrees and this is the first air conditioner I have experienced in which I do not have to adjust the fan to a higher setting to get relieve in the peak summer neither do I set the louver direction directly towards me and still I can feel room being cooled quite efficiently.
But as usually the case nothing is perfect and in this case a really good AC is paired with the shittiest remote I have seen for any remote controlled device (no just AC). AC misses several key punches on the remote even when we carefully keep transmitter in the direction of AC.
Different buttons perform different actions based on the state of AC (most idiotic idea ever) and the actions are not at all listed on the remote eg: The swing button controls the swing when AC is running and it turns off the filer clean indicator when AC is off. There is no indication on remote which suggest that.
Further the button on outside the flap do not interact with the hardware on their own but they press the button inside the flap and state of the flap determine what action AC should perform (AC On/Off button is an exception). Commonly used buttons are outside (temp control, swing and fan speed) and we all know what breaks in a remote like this.
FWIW, the AC does not have any LCD on the inside unit and temperature that is set can only be checked from the remote. It is not a con for me because I think the displaying the set temperature is generally not of any use (personal opinion) but as I mentioned as the AC misses several key presses this becomes a problem as many a time temperature being displayed in remote is different from what it is actually set.
(I think Haier has the most practical display in this regard where they show the room temperature when AC is running and not interacting with remote and as soon as some one start pressing key on remote the display changes.)
In a broader picture I am happy with the performance of the AC till now but Remote feels cheap and could have been a lot better.
Cheers!!
