This group includes Japanese manufacturers of the most high-tech air conditioners. These are Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, General and General Fujitsu. Most air conditioners produced by these manufacturers have not only excellent consumer characteristics, but also top-notch self-diagnosis and protection systems.
Air conditioners from these companies have the following advantages:
- High reliability and durability. During the warranty period, no more than 0.1 – 0.3% of air conditioners are being returned due to manufacturing defects (one faulty air conditioner for 300 – 1000 units). With proper operation and systematic maintenance, the service life of these air conditioners is at least 12-15 years.
- Most air conditioners of the first group have advanced systems of protection against improper operation. They are equipped with self-diagnostic tools, Fujitsu error codes help to quickly find out the cause of a malfunction. Protection systems turn off the air conditioner in case of improper operation, overload or any other possibly dangerous situation
- With minimum 24 – 26 dB noise level of the indoor unit, it is virtually inaudible.
- Stable operation in a wide temperature range.
- Modern design and small size.
Daikin air conditioners are manufactured in Belgium, Thailand and Japan; they are characterized by stable quality and offer a 3-year warranty, regardless of the production location. Moreover, each factory has its own specialization which is why one split system units may be assembled in Belgium and another – in Thailand.
Judging by most crucial parameters, Daikin air conditioners are slightly ahead of the competitors due to the best quality of their components – electronic parts, plastics, compressors, fan blade balance, additional functions, etc.
Fujitsu General company manufactures air conditioning equipment under the brands Fujitsu General and General Fujitsu. Air conditioners of both brands are almost identical by their functions and characteristics and only slightly differ in their look. It may be explained by the fact that Fujitsu General is focused on the European market while General Fujitsu is aimed at the Asian market.
Fujitsu General conditioners offer their buyers consistently high quality and excellent reliability. According to these parameters, they are almost not inferior to Daikin air conditioners, so we recommend these appliances to those who want reliable equipment without overpaying for the Daikin and Mitsubishi electric logos on the front panel of their air conditioner.
In addition to a wide range of household split-systems, the Fujitsu brand also manufactures semi-industrial air conditioners of central, cassette and ceiling air types, as well as multi-zone VRF systems. All the equipment is assembled at their own factories in Thailand and Japan.
