    poor airflow = poor cooling performance
    kaya pa naman "pagtyagaan" sungkitin yan isa-isa para mabalik sa ayos.
    again, smh how bad your technician doing his job.
  • @zidane

    Get yourself a fin comb to help straighten out those fins. I have already included it in the items to get for anybody into aircon DIY.
  • Guys any thoughts on fujidenzo 1.5hp inverter premium Iwar120g. My sis is planning to buy one. I told her get the tcl instead but the company doesnt carry the brand.
  • @jdon

    I think the Fujidenzo IWAR120G is the old 1.5hp unit being sold na paubos na. Yung IWAR-150GC (full-DC) na yata ang pinu-push ni Fujidenzo. Yung TCL likely wala talaga. Ang try nya hanapin is yung Union-badged TCL units na likely meron. Now kung kahit yung Union ay hindi available, the Fujidenzo IWAR-150G is a good alternative. You can also consider the Kolin version KAG-145WCINV which has wifi connectivity but is a bit hard to find compared to the Fujidenzo.
  • Thanx godai always helpful.. will search for.union
  • What's the smallest (in terms of dimension) .75 HP window type ang nakita nyo so far? May abang kaseng butas yung bedroom namin pero napakaliit naman (47cmx35cm WxH). Puro non-inverter nakikita kong kasya eh.
  • @badsector

    Nasa page 01 ang sagot. Ü
  • @godai same lng pala tcl at union kaso wala dito cebu
  • @jdon
    same lng pala tcl at union kaso wala dito cebu

    No surprise I guess since dito nga lang sa Manila eh mahirap na yan mahanap. Kadtong Fujidenzo or Kolin sure na naa diha.

    8 years na walang linisan?
  • ^panasonic ko survived 3 yrs without cleaning then parang bnew pa din after cleaning. Ni hindi nagleak yun. Pero kaya siguro nasira coz of improper maintenance.

    @zidane

    Yan bang "mistreated" AC mo napost mo na dati yan? I remembered someone posting the outdoor unit naman na nawalang hiya yan coils niya / hindi iningatan ng cleaner. Its the same thing that the cleaner of my sister's AC did to their Panasonic ST. Nakakainis yan ganyan na tayo owners todo ingat sabay sa isang iglap na balasubas na cleaning eh magkakaganyan.
  • Naglalabasan na complaints against Daikin a few yrs after they have used it.

    Those are the same DSmart series with defective PCB mentioned to me by R&J that forced them to preorder the PCB since inuulan na daw sila ng bashing from angry customers.

    While my unit (Daikin Elite 2015 model) showing premature clogging. Every 6 to 8 months kelangan na ipalinis else barado na't wala na hangin lumalabas . This is unlike any other split types that I have used on the same room, since 1991 pa ako ST user btw. Daikin is my 4th ST.

    Prospective Daikin buyers , please take note of this. It may manifest in future models as well.

  • How to look out on this? Been using FTKC35QVM for almost a year now.

    Based sa experience ng isa, upon cleaning daw which is really a risk regardless of model diba
  • Observe na lang.

    Granted naman na talaga na every 6 months ang cleaning lalo if daily ang use ng aircon. Another factor that is often overlooked? Air pollution - ambient air in the metropolises are very dirty so expect your aircons to get clogged up faster din. And the more air our units can move (higher CFM), the more dust they will suck in talaga.

    Hoping na better to kesa sa Samsung na split type na di man lang umabot ng 2 years haha. Got it on sale tho 19,999 nalang siya from 29,999.

    Yun area kasi were my STs are situated doesn't have those elements- pollutants, even dusts are minimal here since the area is not facing a major road. Apples to Apples comparison with my 3 previous STs in terms of usage frequency this Daikin clogs 3x faster eh. Yung Panasonic st na pinalitan nito survived almost 3 yrs without cleaning (from 2015 to 2018 ko napalinis) it still can produce considerable air. This Daikin even leaked na nga sa sobrang bara the last time it was serviced. I think me and statix has the same concern Elite yun sakin, DSmart yung kanya so its seems not model-specific. Yung mga first time Daikin / ST users wouldn't notice premature clogging as they won't have basis for comparison. But for me na naka apat na ST na, total of 6 ST in our household eh I don't find this normal.
  • ^ I see. It might be dependent on the design of the squirrel fan kung kaya siya nagkakaganyan? Maybe getting an updated squirrel fan will rectify that problem.. Consider it na lang once you have it repaired na siguro.

    I just hope it won't be too costly to replace..
  • ^my suspicion was the evaporator's cooling fins are quite dense. i have to check our kolin for comparison.
    tho within it's 3yrs(daikin) use, come on every 6th month cleaning cycle wala naman dust bunnies. it's the biofilm build-up what's clogging the evap and so did the drain system. once nag drip sya inside the room, tinanggal ko lang yung drain tube that connects with the PVC, then sinundot ko lang inwards just enough to reach the drain pan,,, ayun meron gooey biofilm na lumabas then a lot of condensate water follows, flooding stops then.
    let me see if using Amber come my cleaning job done if it would make a difference. baka nga meron pa naiiwan with regular cleaning. but i have to wait until the first week of june pa. waiting game,,,,
