frist impression is that it is nosier then the window AC !
never to be used in bed rooms or in any house hold purpose.

Very good for shops or offices where ambient noise level is high since it cools faster then the other brands.

Very noisy fan in any speed. it has 3 speeds. in any speed the rotation of fan is abnormally high and this makes loud Air cutting noise,
One may ask why the hell they put the fan speed so high ?
It is simple ,
If the room is bigger the strong air currents reach corner to corner and makes good marketing or sales point but practically it leaves the (R&D) unit suitable for restaurants and shops not for any house use!

Un tolerable at night when ambient noise is less.
as seems it is an old design and dumped in India from abroad.


I have two units , One makes very loud noise whenever compressor is switched on.Very high gas flowing noise comes from in door unit.

for any mode change in AC Onida R&D has chosen relays for change over and
As their r&D has Level of 43dB(A) has to choose noisy and cheap relays ,
they make 43dB(A) noise whenever the compressor is switched,
whenever the fan speed is changed.( have they heard about triac ? ssr ?)

Surprised to see the manual suggest the noise level is 43 dB (A) (A =?)
I wonder Onida has ever Done any test for this noise or the 43dB (A) shows the level of their R&D and of Marketing ?

Very poor service supports in Ahmedabad.
Trained as Deaf for this noise problem.
( I have a strong feeling that these technical people at Onida looking after AC department does belong to their Washing machine department somehow got shifted to AC department)
Lots of phone calls and email s to them , they says that it is feature and design issue they can not change it !
I feel cheated by Onida and think as a Bad company supporting Bad Dealers where figure of merit is sales!
Whish you never buy it and suggest others not to buy it before they personally test it in any location for noise .
