It feels so anecdotal and there will always be bad eggs in any brand/model. Pag mataas failure rate as a percentage of a large sample size, yun lang yung talagang definitive na lemon talaga - like Ford's DCT. But even then, does not mean that all Fords are bad, because Mustangs are pretty well-built cars.

So typically I put more weight to people who deal with hundreds of appliances as opposed to paisa isa lang. Which is why I went for Daikin for my aircon - my contractor has installed countless Daikins for his clients with no issues so far. Si travs na contractor din, highly recommended. Then it's the second largest aircon manufacturer (next to Carrier, which has an advantage because they also sell a lot of window-types), so that counts for something too. And on the flipside naman, as mentioned previously, a friend who deals with appliances every day and even works for Samsung doesn't recommend it so I crossed it off my list even if it's relatively cheaper than Daikin or Panasonic. But even amomg these professionals who deal with lots of appliances may kanya kanya ding favorite - wala namang purely objective measure talaga of failure rates across models and brands across the world.

At the end of the day, to each his own of course - everyone has a different decision tree and criteria when buying appliances. [emoji846]

Hi Just, how's your Daikin? Considering having one installed also in our sala dahil sa sobrang init, how much na kaya ang going price ngayon, complete with installation? 1.5 hp or 2.0 hp? Area is around 40 sqm, but with 2nd floor na around 20sqm.
