All locally available Split Type A/C and severely deteriorated the quality of parts used. Even the bigger brands like General and Mitsubishi are also suffering with quality issues. My cousin owns a refrigeration workshop. His words....... all new models are crap..... the gauge of pipe used is pathetic....... with such low quality parts and fittings these newer models are bound to leak after being used for a season.
He recommended me get my old AC repaired......... I still insisted on getting a new one...... he said... in that case buy the cheapest one you can find as all units are more of less identical in quality and reliability. I think Kenwood is the cheapest.
