Ah, the sweltering Indian summer! There’s really no respite from the heat unless you have a good air conditioner in your room. Now, while most people do have ACs, the problem with using them regularly for long hours is twofold – you must contend with high electricity bills, and you must deal with the guilt of a high carbon footprint. Fortunately, you can always get a 4-star energy-efficient AC to beat the heat without worrying about either of these factors. Here are a few 4-star ACs that you can get on Amazon.
Samsung AR12AYMYATB
The Samsung AR12AYMYATB has a 1-ton capacity, which means it should be a good fit for a small to medium-sized room. What makes this AC ideal for Indian summers is that it has a variable compressor that adjusts the power depending on the heat load, ensuring that the unpredictable summer heat doesn’t take a toll on the AC. It also uses digital inverter technology to help save power. The brand claims that this AC consumes 634.66 units per year, which, along with the digital inverter technology, explains the 4-star rating. Finally, if you’re looking for a product that can also help purify the air in your room, this one might be perfect as it has features like the Easy Filter+, Auto Clean, Anti-bacteria HD filter and Triple Protector Plus to clean the air in your room.
LG LS-Q18YNYA
Now, if you’re looking for an AC for your large room, then the LG LS-Q18YNYA might be ideal for your needs as it has a 1.5-ton capacity. The AC’s DUAL Inverter Compressor with Varied Speed Dual Rotary Motor offers a wider rotational frequency which is said to help save more energy. Additionally, the 4-step energy-saving technology used in the AC should help you choose between cooling modes and the level of energy consumed to ensure a lower electricity bill. If you think that the AC may not be a match for the peak summer heat, you should consider the fact that this uses the Himalaya Cool Technology that promises to cool you the minute you switch the device on.
Daikin FTKP50TV
The Daikin FTKP50TV is a 1.5-ton split AC that has a built-in stabiliser. It uses a variable-speed compressor to ensure that the power consumption is adjusted based on the heat load. This AC has a PM 2.5 filter which should help remove most particles from the air, ensuring that the device also functions as a mini purifier of sorts. It is claimed to consume 928 units of electricity in a single year, so you should feel less conscious of the electricity bill while using it for long periods. However, in case you feel that’s not enough, rest assured as it comes with an Econo mode that lets you cap off the maximum electricity consumption while it operates.
Samsung AR18AY4ZAUS
The Samsung AR18AY4ZAUS is a good option for consumers who want features that enhance a product’s durability. This is because this 1.5-ton split AC has an Auto Clean mode that kicks in the minute you turn the appliance off and cleans dust and moisture in the heat exchanger. The exchanger is built with DuraFin Plus (made of copper) that ensures it cools down quickly and lasts longer. The Tri-Care Filter is claimed to remove animal hair, dust, and fibre particles from the heat exchanger, while the Zeolite coating on the same is claimed to remove bacteria, viruses and finer dust particles.
Panasonic CS/CU-WU12WKYXF
The Panasonic CS/CU-WU12WKYXF is a 1-ton split AC with built-in Wi-Fi and can be used to control your Smart Home devices with your voice. This is because the AC is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It uses the MirAle platform to offer smart diagnostics when something goes wrong, create customised sleep profiles so that you can enjoy a good night’s rest, and alter the temperature settings as per your needs. The AC is equipped with the brand’s Nanoe-G technology that helps purify the air in your room by producing three trillion negative ions per second. These ions are claimed to attach onto pollutants and particles and then sucked back into the machine to clean the room.
