A New low by AC manufacturers! I asked Changhong and Haier...both said they have stopped adding grills recently. Changhong guy gave a stupid excuse that its to improve efficiency, whereas Haier guy said that its to save cost due to increasing USD value and taxes - which seems right.
All my Grees, LGs, and a Mitsubishi MrSlim have side/back grills. Even dawlance that I got last year has side grill but no back grill. They should at least add the side grill since its an exposed side and more prone to damage. Plus the AC looks ugly & unfinished without it - like some repair guy took it off and forgot to put it back on.
