Saved me over summer

published

I have three of these units. A 7kw, 5kw and a 2.5kw for my house. They are quiet and attractive units and on the hot 40+degree days it kept my house cool and comfortable. The summer before the upstairs of my house was almost uninhabitable. This made it cool and easy to sleep. Thank you mitsubishi

Great air conditioner

published

This air conditioner cools a 60sq metre room.

Very quiet model.

Fantastic price at Retravison including cash back couldn’t ask
for much more.



The outdoor unit is quite large which may be an issue depending on space requirements.

Would highly recommend Mitsubishi air conditioners as they are so reliable and well made

Awesome split system

published

This split system was installed in our living/dinning room which is around 50-55 Sqm.
It cools this area very efficiently and quiet.
The outdoor unit also runs quite.
This unit is used mostly during hot humid days, and it dose the job easily.
Just make sure you get yourself a great installer.
Posatives, everything.
Negative, it’s more expensive then most units, but you get what you pay for.

Amazing cooling power

published

This thing got me through the Aussie Summer and *then* some.
Was easily turning my living/dining area into an icebox to the point where I had to actually turn this up a few degrees from the chill, and it made the rest of my modest home much more tolerable also.
Quiet and has a plethora of configuration options + auto schedule timers etc. to play around with.

Not a cheap model but you certainly get what you pay for with this thing.

Great airconditioning

published

This air-con is really efficient, it cools the house down really quickly. I always put it on 25 and eco mode and it works wonderfully. There are lots of settings so you can direct the air to where you need it. We had it on every day during the summer and our power bill was still under for the usage standard for how many people lived there.

The best split system air-con I have encountered so far

published

The best split system air-con I have encountered so far.
Recently purchased and installed a unit in our living area, and cools the room very quickly with very little noise.
The 3D-auto function works magic, especially on larger rooms/ areas of the house.
Pricier than most brands in the market, however its quality made up for it.

Cool!

published

We recently had air conditioner installed in November 2017 and are really happy. We had smaller units put in upstairs bedrooms and cools quickly and is quiet. We had the bigger unit placed downstairs in the lounge room and actually gets abit cold! It is fairly quiet but I find sometimes when I press the remote nothing happens so keep pressing the button until I hear the ‘beep’

Love it

published

Love the quietness of this unit. It's quiet inside and the unit outside is as well. Installation process didn't take long at all. It's easy use and the timer and day settings are great especially if we are going to be out, can set it to come on before we are due home. There's a variety of different settings to put it on. Doesn't take long to cool the rooms down.

Perfect for smaller units

published

This Aircon is reliable. It is a quiet unit.
Warms or cools my unit in no time. And as a person with a disability, I rely on Air Con. This Aircon is reliable and the best I have ever had. The remote is easy to work. I would buy this brand next time.

After initially having a problem with the motor being noisy Mitsubishi replaced this as it was found to be from a faulty batch and I have had no problems since. Unit is good for heating and excellent with cooling a large area which also opens up into other rooms. Control Unit easy to use.

Brilliant!! Absolutely great!

My local AC company recommended Mitsubishi Electric over Daikin, Panasonic and Fujitsu. To their credit they never rubbished any of the other brands they just stated why they like Mitsubishi. All the reasons why are true! Quiet, efficient and so far reliable. Very happy and glad I went with Mitsubishi Electric!

"Easiest to install" said my installer, and "easy and cheap to use" says I

published

We have a ducted system to heat and cool our home but it costs 6kwh = $1.50 an hour to use.
We installed this system to heat and cool the TV/Kitchen area and it costs 2kwh for the first hour and then $1kwh after that. 50c and 25c.
It is quiet, not intrusive and efficient. With electricity prices continuing to increase hoping early payback.

Working well as expected

published

I purchased this Mitsubishi Electric air conditioner for the lounge area back in October 2016 from Stan Cash online store. The Mitsubishi electric is quiet but powerful and reliable. It has done well in the summer heat here in Queensland. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an air conditioner.

Very cool ac

published

The electrician switched the air conditioner on after installation and its working perfectly since. I come home from work to a hot shut up house and in a short time I'm sitting watching TV in a cool lounge room. We bought the Mitsubishi for its reputation, reliability and value. You can't go wrong.

MSZ-GL71VGD (7.1kW)

just had my 7.1kw fitted and it is running fine but when I went outside to check the outdoor unit the fan wasn't working is this normal as it wasn't a very warm day when it was installed and I tested it...?

I wouldn’t be worried if the unit is at the required temperature inside the house you will find it will probably stop spinning outside as it only runs when expelling the warm/cold air from the inside of the house, it will run when required which is part of the energy saving.

Stewpot

When first started the outside unit will not run for 10 minutes or so. That is normal. It may also stop if inside the house is at the correct temperature and this will save power. If the inside unit works properly nothing is wrong. The outside unit can be very quiet so you need to carefully check if the fan is turning.
One way to test it is to turn the inside temperature to its lowest setting and turn the fan to the highest speed. Outside unit should start running after about 10 minutes.

Hi, find the paperwork concerning the installation, if found see if installation warranty is more than two years if so ring company to redo flares
( most probably where leak is ) if out of installation warranty period, you may be still able to talk to manager and plead your case of faulty workmanship and not bag his company on social media . Regas and repair of flares by a honest Friggie on a 2.5kw should only be around $350 at most for a back to back installation . Good luck .
