We bought this particular unit because we needed an air conditioner that also functions as a dehumidifier. The advertising and product info was big on its "powerful dehumidification" function. Sadly that is a big lie. It just doesn't dehumidify at all on the "dry" setting. When I complained to Daikin I was told to only run it on "Dry Cooling". This sometimes works depending on the outside temperature. Mostly even this setting doesn't work. Also, much of the time we don't want to run the cooling function, just the dehumidifying function. We were...Read more

I started with two units, one in my lounge / dining area (3.5kW model) and one in the my office (2.5kW model) and then I bought two more because I was most impressed. The one in the lounge /dining kitchen area does the most work, it's basically heating half our house even with the other 3 units. It's worked tirelessly. The auto cleaning dust filters have stayed spick and span (I check them every so often) The fresh air is great when we cook an indian curry or other smelly food. The humidifier is tops in winter when it hasn't been raining but...Read more

We had this installed at the end of last year, together with a 2,5KW unit. Everything was great. Just last week, when I tried to use the controller, it would not work. I thought we needed new batteries, and opened it up to find the batteries had leaked. These batteries were supplied with the units, and put in by the installer who demonstrated the units working.

So I cleaned up the battery compartment, put in new batteries - and the controller does not work.

The installer says it is a manufacturing defect .. and I agree as the batteries were ...Read more

I installed the 3.5 kW Daikin US7 as a combined heater and cooler for my new living areas, because of its environmental credentials. I've only used it over the winter, so can only comment on its heating efficiency so far, but have found it to be extremely rapid to heat up a room, reasonably quiet in its operation, and definitely cheaper to run than my old ducted gas system. I like the "comfort" setting, so that for heating, the vents point downwards and don't create too much of a breeze, and when cooling, they oscillate, to help cool further. ...Read more

This is my first air conditioner and I am sure I chose well on this unit. It didn't get used much this summer in Geelong as we only had about ten days over 35 degrees. I cannot imagine any unit being quieter than this one. The outside compressor is whisper quiet so apartment people could never complain. I am really impressed with it's heating. Nine degrees here this morning and it had the living area toastie warm within ten minutes. Installation trouble free and the remote control has massive capacity for customising settings. Probably the most...Read more
