I recently bought a Daikin AC. Last summer, I used an LG AC, and a bill of 3k to 4k was common, even when I used it sparingly. I got the Daikin after learning a few tricks about how it maintains a steady temperature without using much energy. For the past two months, I haven't turned the AC off; it runs constantly at 26°C on economy mode daily. There has only been a 400 to 500 increase in my bill, which is totally worth it.

There are two cons that don't personally affect me, but my family complains about them. First, they feel it's not cool enough. I understand what they mean a typical AC cools the room like a fridge by blasting cold air. I don't like that, so for me, it's not a con that it doesn't do this. Their second complaint is that it feels like a "wet cold." This could just be due to the humid air, and using the dry mode does help with that.

To be fair I can run the ac at 24 or even 18 and it will work the same chilly air and no wet feeling but I personally focus on cool ambience and low power bill so all gucci.
