Question:
I'm looking for a quiet air conditioner that's also reasonably powerful (at
least 3 HP). A good air filtering system and a remote control is a must. It
must a split system floor-standing unit.
I've looked at Fujitsu's website but they haven't put up any technical specs
(or even brochures).
Can anybody recommend some models that they've had good experiences with?
Names of retailers would also be handy
Answer:
I'm pleased with my Daikin (http://www.daikin.com.au/) Inverter. The
"inverter" part means that it adjusts the speed of the compressor to
maintain a given temperature rather than turning the compressor on and
off. The result is that it seems quieter because there are no sudden
noise changes. I also like a couple of it's clever features. One is
"powerful mode" which means that you push a button and, for twenty
minutes, it ignores the sensible settings you gave it and blasts you
with maximum cold and fan speed.The other is an infra red sensor that
makes me feel better about leaving the unit on when I am not there
because it detects an absence of movement in the room and raises
(lowers if heating) the thermostat temperature.
The best advice I can give you is to be careful about where you locate
the unit. Two of the units that were in house when we bought it have
limited use because one directs the air at you while you are lying in
bed and another blasts one of the guests at the dining room table.
