Best Air conditioner I've owned

published

Could leave it on all night and all day and won't have any problems.
Would cool my apartment in under 4 minutes and would cool the immeadiate area instantly.
In any conditions this airconditioner would work well and the heat cycle worked great too.

Purchased in August 2021 at The Good Guys for $1,600.00.

Hi Right and thank you for your positive feedback, we do appreciate you taking the time to share your review.

Crappy Service from Panasonic

published

This was a good product till it works, Mine broke after 1 year from install and panasonic doesn't have parts locally, and they don't know when the parts arrives to Australia, their customer service is really crappy and never received call back though they promise to give updates.
I would never buy panasonic air conditioner.

Very powerful, quiet and attractive to look at

published

Good unit. Multiple settings to keep the house cool and has the power required whilst not being too loud. Very happy with the purchase and price. Great value for money. It looks good on the wall compared to some other units. Outside the unit has a quiet mode which I'm not sure how it works but doesn't seem to reduce the cooling capability.

One of the best air-conditioning unit I've purchased. Very quiet, easy to use and economical. There a blue light that turns on at night. May not be suitable for some but majority would love this product. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. And yes I will buy it again.

Perfect in every way

published

Purchased this aircon forte lounge room and it has worked perfectly through the hottest and coldest of days. Highly recommend to purchase. We did buy 2 more I for each bedroom but have had issues with the 3.5 not cooling the room enough. The 2.5 works a charm. And the 5.0 is amazing. Highly recommend the purchase.

Very good so far...

published

Purchased in July 2017 at The Good Guys, delivery was quick and installation was fast and smooth. Very professional! Excellent heating performance, can't say anything about the cooling performance since the temperatures here are still low.
Very quiet too, remote is a bit confusing at first, but after having read the manual...all clear!
Very happy so far, let's see how it performs in summer...

Excellent split system air conditioner

published

Recently purchased this unit and am very happy with it overall. Heating and cooling is great. Very quiet machine, hardly know it is on. The boys came and installed the unit and were very polite and professional. Easy to use with remote settings, simply push on or off depending on what you are wanting and arrow up or down for temperature control. Love it.

Bought couple weeks ago and it runs perfectly, no noise, just gives perfect airflow, I can give easy 5star for this, Its take bit time to change from one mode to another, Perfect product for for my lounge,
The main plus point is motion sensor, so it gives the load only when people in the room, at last perfect choice and awesome aircon till date :)

Beautifully quiet and energy efficient

published

Had this unit installed recently and it runs like a dream, forget cold winters. This season we've been waking up to a pleasant warm 22 degrees every morning. And not to mention how much energy savings this unit has provided us instead of using multiple heaters throughout the house. Definitely a good fire and forget kind of device without the worries of energy efficiency or constant temperature monitoring, let the unit do the work while you relax.

Cooling

published

We bought this in time for the summer when it gets really hot in QLD. The installation of the unit was quick and easy. It runs quietly and setting it up to use is very simple. The cool air that it blows cools down my living room very fast and is a mighty relief when the temperature outside is soaring.

Perfect

published

This aircon cools down my room in less than 5 minutes and comes with a range of options on the remote! It's super quick, has a low electricity rating and gets the job done. It's very quiet too and also works as a heater which will be great for my old house in winter.

Great system

published

I've not had this a long time but am happy with it so far. It's very quiet and heats/cool pretty fast. I have had a smaller panasonic split before and it was also really good - hence buying another one when i moved to this new place
The wall and outdoor unit were a lot bigger than i expected but i guess that cant be helped.

Has made home life far more comfortable during the hot summer we've just experienced.

published

We are happy with the cooling performance in our open plan home, but on start up it's a little noisy for the first 30 minutes or so, but after that is very quiet, so quiet, in fact, that we have forgotten it is on and have left it on over night. The installation process went very smoothly. The controls are easy to understand and use.

Brand new, not working after installation, Hirotech came to check and said " faulty parts".

published

I just bought this air conditioner, after installed and compressor not working. Hirotech came to check and confirm that " parts are faulty and need to order new parts to replace".
I'm very dissapointed.
I bought this unit at Harvey Norman Water garden on 29/6/2016 and install on 30/6/2016. Totally not working.
I not recommended Panasonic air conditioner. DON'T BUY IT.

It could be the drain from the indoor unit is not installed correctly. Was the the system vac pumped and installed to the Panasonic specifications?

blissin

Hmm, I've never really noticed mine gurgling, unlike my ducted, roof mounted evaporative cooler

blissin
blissin

Actually - I realise mine also makes gurgling noises, but only just before it starts pumping out hot air and it stops then. Think I have heard it in other units too ..maybe its just the gas circulating round. It works great anyway
