The first on the list is the Voltas! I am penning down this review after using it for a month now. The reason why I listed this first is that it comes with a 100% copper condenser and turbo cooling features, which are essential for the Indian climate. One of the best 5-star windows AC that offers excellent cooling and you can barely hear the noise. It works so silently! You also get a 1-year warranty on the product and 4 years on the compressor which I felt is heft when compared to other brands.

Apart from this, the brand is also offering installation for under INR 1000 including tax but other charges like copper wire, stand, and accessories are not included. You need to buy them separately. As the brand has a tagline saying “India KA AC” it is a brand made for the Indian home and Indian climate. This model is built ergonomically and comes with exceptional features that you couldn’t imagine for a Windows AC.

Priced for INR 30, 745 at the time of review and available in three variants, the 1.4 tonnages, 1.5 tonnages (2019), and 5 stars (2014). The one I have mentioned in this review is the 1.5 tonnages 2019 model. Some users have complained that they faced noise issues, but while using it in my house I didn’t happen to have such problems. That is the reason why I have mentioned this in the first place. Those who face noise issues will have to talk to customer service or contact the person who did the installation for them.

Bought the Lloyd  AC for my office and I tested it for a couple of months before including this on the list. The product is decent and its cooling capacity is also functional. This brand is capable of cooling even at 48 degrees Celsius, so if you are living in the hottest place in India then Lloyd will offer you the utmost cooling capability feature. It is also environment friendly and comes with R-32 refrigerant gas which does not harm the environment or deplete the ozone.

The brand has also equipped 100% copper inner grooved tubes that help in the quick flow of refrigerant that is enhanced rate of heat transfer than traditional coils.

The only drawback that most of their customers face is with the installation and after-sales service. The team was not that cooperative and you will have to keep insisting on them to arrive to diagnose the issue.

• Japanese brand, some Indian buyers don’t prefer buying

I love Japanese brands as they offer you top-notch efficiency and durability as well. This product after reviewing for a week or so offers extreme cooling and saves a lot on your electricity bills. The only drawback I noticed is that it’s a bit noisy but comes with special features and other features required in a window AC.

The brand offers standard installation for INR 1000 which does not include other accessory charges. But can be used in extreme heat conditions and it can cool down the room immediately.

The box contains the window AC, operation manual, 1 remote control, and a warranty card.

The other product I must mention here is the Carrier which is priced at INR 34,000 and comes with impressive features like energy saves, dust filter, LCD remote, energy save mode, and auto swing feature.
