We have two Panasonic inverter splits. No issues whatsoever.

Though, the upfront cost is the issue. ;)

Take that with a grain of salt but I have personal 1st hand experience with Samsung inverter A/Cs.

They're crap.

In the beginning, we had 6 Samsung inverter splits. In 5 years time, 3 units would have required a system board replacement and a 4th one became a total write-off (compressor leak due to rust). Out of the original 6, only 5 remains. And out of the 6, only 2 didn't need major repairs.

In place of the fallen Samsung, we've installed an LG 2.5HP inverter. I hope this fares better than the unit it replaced.

I saw 3 buildings and exclusive supplier was LG. around 300 units(outdoor units) an naka install [emoji851].

I think the new samsungs 8poles are interesting, reliability wise I dont mind [emoji28]

just installed a 2.0hp samsung inverter split a/c. this is my 1st samsung a/c and hope to last just like my other installed a/c brands (panasonic, carrier and sanyo).
was installed by the best contractor in town.
the owner is so accommodating and his recommended brand actually is the hitachi. he said all 7-11 stores they have installed knows only one brand... hitachi!
according to him, this a/c brand has the lowest operating amp that will translate to lowest power consumption. but..... the most expensive a/c in the market!

hitachi na 2hp? last research ko LG and GREE and Samsung pinaka mababa na power draw.

per size ba yang 20ft? if yes your installation cost is cheap. kasama rin ba sa installation cost yung mga electrical accessories (i.e isolation switch, wires, etc)?

the logical reason why 7-11 use only hitachi a/c brand coz it's 24-hours in operation.
as per the owner statement, power consumption savings by hitachi a/c is upto 50% vs other leading brand. kaya kahit almost 2x ang acquisition unit price nya ay yan lang ang ikinakabit ng 7-11 stores.
