Choosing an air conditioner, we strive for an optimal price-quality ratio. Next, we will analyze: which brands correspond to the stated prices, and who have the prices of split systems air conditioners somewhat overestimated.
Top quality air conditioners: Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu
Not yielding to the other two brands in quality, Mitsubishi products are somewhat cheaper. We conclude: Daikin and Fujitsu slightly increase the price of split-system air conditioners, using their excellent reputation.
All three firms offer truly the highest quality. The defect rate among their products is 0.1%. And their models contain almost every imaginable innovation. Very quiet operation, functionality at -25 degrees outside the window, luxurious design and a self-diagnosis system are just a few of the advantages of premium air conditioners.
They are produced in Japanese and Thai factories, Daikin has facilities in China.
Good quality air conditioners: Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, MitsubishiHeavy, Sharp, Sanyo.
Very harmonious value for money. Business class models are more affordable, but very good. They work quietly, are reliable, made of quality materials. The premium class models from these manufacturers are no worse than those presented in the first section. This is consistently even quality and excellent functionality.
Most of the manufacturing plants are located in China, Thailand and Malaysia.
Choosing from representatives of this group, you can safely look for a cheaper model. It will by no means disappoint (unless, of course, it is a fake).
Medium quality air conditioners
Designed for consumers with moderate requirements. They work a little noisier, the percentage of malfunctions is much higher. However, these manufacturers are also pleased with the ratio of quality and price of split air conditioners. A huge selection of models, the broadest functionality attracts users.
Air conditioners Gree and Midea are collected in China (Hong Kong). Some models show excellent quality at a very reasonable price. Often equipped with compressors of "expensive" brands (Daikin, Toshiba, Sanyo). There are many models with inverter control, which is also pleasing.
LG produces the Art Cool line, which is not inferior in quality to the most expensive premium air conditioners. But among the rest of the products there are a lot of defects, a large number of air conditioners of unproven origin, "gray" ones. Therefore, the price of air conditioners is split from Lg overpriced.
The same can be said for Samsung air conditioners. The same inflated price of air conditioners for multi split systems, a lot of "gray" goods and defects. Paying the same amount, you can find a model from Midea or Gree much cheaper, but more functional.
Mitsushito - very good air conditioners at a reasonable price. Assembled at Gree's factory facilities.
Electra - although the quality of the products is decent, the company has interesting developments, the price of air conditioners for multi split systems is seriously "strained".
