Have bought two more National / Panasonic air conditioners since then. Cools well, is super quiet.

About General (popularly called 'O' General) - they are damn good and keep running for years, but I hear they consume a lot of power.

Carrier is suspect - I've seen too many of them rattle around or break down to have any confidence in the brand.

You are right Sir !!

We had 2 NATIONAL imported from malaysia - 0.75 and 1 ton .... and 0.75 ton is the one i think u r referring to bcoz even my A/c servicing guy said that it consumes slightly more than a fan.

In India Videocon was earlier using the NATIONAL a/cs but not very sure about their a/c s now.

BTW .. how r Videocon a/cs ?
