Excellent choice

published

Heats up very quickly. It blast the air all around the corridor from the dining room through the loung into 2 bedrooms and back to the kitchen. Brilliant. I have it running all day and very quiet. I preset it half an hour before I get up and it's warmed up over half the house. I have the 5KW unit in the other half. Daikin has come down to a price compared to the other brands. Hopefully the reliability hasn't changed.

Silent but powerful

published

This is a very quiet unit, both inside and out, i lover the power boost function which will quickly cool down or heat up a room, i bought both a 2kw for the bedroom and a 3.5kw for the lounge and they work magnificently, the installation process was very quick and professional and the units sit unobtrusively on the walls and have some very advance features such as preventing direct blowing on people in the room, very impressed

What a dissapointment

published

Happy with the heating ability. So dissapointed with a constant rapid ticking sound. The sound is there as soon as the unit it switched on and does not increase or decrease with fan speed; it is just there permanently. It is so annoying. I did meticulous research and chose Daikin for their supposed quality quietness was the main factor I was looking for. I have 2 Daikins in my workplace and 1 at my previous residence; all quite. This is a dud. The company I bought the unit from has sent their technician out and replaced bearing and other stuff and it is still ticking away. Not sure what the next step is but I am so dissapointed right now. Go with a Fujitsu rather.

Would not buy again!

published

This unit is noisy. It's a noise beyond the fan, a fluttering sound that varies depending on the load the unit is under. On colder nights you can hear the whiny fluttering in the next room, over the TV and the normal fan sound. I called the installer back after two or three days and he said yeah they all make that noise. So it's not just me. I've called them again (it seems to be a winter thing). It's not fan cavitation (like they are suggesting) because if it was it'd do it any season. Anyway the installer is doing everything to stay away, So I suggest you do the same.



BTW visitors have noticed the noise.

Update. The unit is now gone and a Fujitsu reverse cycle ducted system put in. Yes, more expensive but next to no noise.

Super Quiet

published

We are so happy with this air conditioner, it doesn't take long to warm up the room and is so quiet. The installation only took a few hours. It is so easy to use and you can set the temperature in half degree increments. We have had Daikin before and have never had a problem with them, I would definitely go Daikin.

It is great and saves energy

published

It is very quiet and cools the house very fast. The energy use is very minimal which is a great factor. However, the size of the airconditioner is very large. The controls are occasionally not particularly sensitive. The wind that is blown out is quite cold and ideal for summer.

Good power but a little noisier than the old Panasonic

published

The old Panasonic was a little too small for the rooms it had to heat and cool but in the right size room it works well.
So the bigger Dakin was chosen to replace it. My house is all electric and about 14 squares with the Dakin heating the Lounge, dinning and the kitchen. It does this OK although the kitchen is not as warm as the lounge. I think if the insulation in the ceiling was better this would help. The unit is OK for power and reasonably quiet. So far reliable.. I did have problems with the installer moving the old Panasonic which are still not resolved.

Ideal Airconditioning Unit for our Living Space

published

With extreme hot weather experienced in Sydney during February and rising gas prices anticipated for the coming winter, and with a 5kwh solar panel system already installed, a decision to move to purchase a split air conditioning system was a 'no brainer'. The 6kwh unit we acquired has proved totally adequate for our needs. The Daikin unit is very quiet and easy to use. The quotation and Installation processes by Eagle Airconditioning was handled with a high degree of workmanship and we were very pleased with the service provided by the installer.

Big and powerful

published

Had to replace our 12 year old unit and upgraded to a larger unit. The difference between 7.1 and 8.5 kw is noticable. The internal and external units are substantially larger in size, but the power to cool is well worth the upgrade. The design of the interior unit is sleak and unobtrusive. Both indoor and outdoor units are extremely quiet and power consumption is comparable to the smaller unit. Very happy that we went with another Daikin.

Daikin lives up to its reputation

published

This product is quiet, efficient and has saved me a lot of money on previous gas heating. Prior positive experiences with Daikin air conditioning led me straight to this split system. No regrets in installing it.

It is fantastic! Couldn't sleep on those hot nights till this was installed.

published

This Daikin air conditioner is so quiet and efficient. It makes far less noise than an overhead fan. It has made a huge difference to my comfort on hot summer nights. Should have got one sooner!

Excellent and efficient air conditioner

published

I installed this small unit into a bedroom that faces west. It's a large bedroom and the unit has no trouble bringing the temperature down quickly.

It is extremely efficient using only about 100-150W of power to maintain the temperature overnight. Great for those nights where it stays hot and or humid making it difficult to sleep.

The night mode is very quiet and efficient. Remote is way to use and I am just awaiting installation of the wifi module (on backorder)

Performance exceeds expectations

published

Daikin makes an exceptionally quiet but efficient unit. We already had one in our bedroom, so we considered this when looking for a replacement unit for our living area.
The salesperson made a good recommendation of the Cora unit for this large living, kitchen and dining room area.
The white internal unit looks relatively unobstrusive mounted above white french doors on the wall in this area.
Controls are very easy to use. Easy to change fan settings, heat/cool settings, angle of air and circulation.
Installation replacing old unit was also fuss free, no mess left behind by Crispair installers.
After a couple of months of use in hot weather, we are very pleased with our purchase of a quality product.
