    I am currently shopping around for a 2 hp window type inverter air conditioner. I was hoping to get a split type but the setup of the room doesn’t allow for this, although it is my preference since the split offers more economy than the window. I am hoping someone here can give me some advice as to the brand, durability, price, after sales and performance. User reviews on Kolin is not that good, although I may be wrong. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

    LG has 2hp inverter window types. They're huge though.

    Daikin has a split type model that's designed to fit in a window type space.

    Daikin seems like a good brand. You mean it’s a split window type? Is this brand more expensive than the other brands?

    We've always had Daikin A/C's for as long as I can remember, even at our offices.

    At home, I have a split-type and it is very economical from what I've seen.

    You'll want to check their compact series of products sir Bloo, they might meet your requirements.

    That will be a big help bro. There are quite a number of brands around & I am a bit overwhelmed. I am also pressured since I have to have this in by next week. I will check that out. Thanks again.

    Hope Kolin has improved. Their early ones weren't as good as Panasonic.

    I was thinking of Kolin but the after sales reviews were really bad. Based on your comments, Panasonic & Daikin look like front runners. Based also on reviews, splits are more energy efficient than windows (60 vs 40), unfortunately the design of the room favors the window type. Besides, there is currently an old a/c there & installing the window will be easier.
    The room, when measured is roughly 5X4 meters, which is around 20 m2. Also, based on specs, a 1.5 hp is recommended but if the room has many cold absorbing & heat generating things (or people in it), it is recommended to go for a higher hp. I guess it’s safer to go 2hp.

    The advantage window has over splits is having no invasive surgery requirement upon expiry.
    This has made not a few industry peers & clients alike move back to the basic window after PTSD (Post-Traumatic Split Disorder).[emoji13]
    A commonsensical approach is to have the same sized window AC, preferably of the same brand, in most or all 'windowable' rooms or spaces. So, when 1 conks in urgent need, the units can easily be switched w/o any tech hand presence. Pana sizes theirs uniformly for 1&1.5HP, 2&2.5HP, respectively.
    I know of known designers who'd refuse to allow window AC on their work, but shun splits for their own use. It's not gonna be their problem later, they'd harshly say...Go figure.[emoji4][emoji13]

    going a step higher sa inverter AC bro is always welcome. mas magiging efficient pa nga sya.
    case in point, my 1.5hp gave me lower bill and kw consumption vs my 1hp inverter AC

    Anyone tried the window type inverter of Panasonic? yung 1.5HP - 2HP ones.

    I have the split type 1.5hp Aero Premium as of now and its a bit costly to maintain & leaks when passed the maintenance date.

    Just want to know if worth it ba mag downgrade into window type inverter since walang din split type provision yung patapos kong unit sa bedroom. Ipapasadya ko pa sa electrician and mas hasel.

    Aside sa noise and overall room aesthetics, any relevant advantage of split type over the window type inverter ones?

    Thank you!

    leaks arent from the product. sa installer yan. kaya mas ok ng konte ang window type kasi sealed na from the factory.

    I see you're amongst the many w/ PTSD mentioned below.
    You'll be fine w/ Panasonic. Those 2 & a bit of efficiency are pretty much the split pluses.....Your handle is very musical...you'll need splits for the recording studio though.[emoji4]
    Welcome to 'windows', sir![emoji4]

    Spent the day looking for the a/c. Not all appliance stores sell 2hp a/c in my radius, mostly up to 1.5. I decided on the LG 2hp double inverter instead. Among all the stores, Ansons gave the best deal of 38k for it.
    Thanks for the advise guys.
