Videocon Aryabot 1.5 Ton 5 Star. Review on Videocon Split AC 1.5 Ton

Purchased the product @ 37050 in June. No issue with installation, it was free. Add on like Stabilizer, Wall bracket will cost you extra. Its a mobile based app operated AC. 1st of its kind in India(Not sure about the world). I am sharing my views after using the AC for couple of months as follows:

Pros:

1. With its satellite controlled intelligent setting it switches on automatically before you reach home and turns off when you leave. Now I don't wait for 10 mins to cool the room.

   
   




2. You can limit your electricity consumption & thus help you plan in advance.

   
   




3. You can also set your daily, weekly & monthly consumption report to view usage.

   
   




4. Best part is that it senses the outside weather conditions and accordingly inform the user to adjust AC setting for best output.

   
   




5. No noise.

   
   




6. Attractive Indoor Unit.

   
   




7. You can set the desired temperature you would want your AC to maintain through the night at different hours so that you enjoy an uninterrupted peaceful sleep.

   
   




8. Via Mobile app you also get the option of controlling all the function through voice command.

   
   




9. You can lock the AC from you mobile app, thus giving you full access of the AC

   
   




10. The company claims that it can detect problems with itself and even suggest remedial actions. It can even contact the service centre on its own and log-in service requests when service is due. I am yet to experience this thankfully.

    
    




11. Available in both Aluminium & Copper wire. I bought Copper and would suggest you to avoid aluminium.

    
    




12. 5 yrs warranty on compressor and 3 free services in the 1st year of purchase.

    
    

Cons:

1. Not available in 2 ton

Conclusion:

Forget LG, Samsung or Voltas. This a revolution in AC. If you are not brand conscious and want to have an 1.5 ton 5 star AC within 40k(including all other expenses like installation, Wall bracket for outdoor unit, Stabilizer), then go for it with your eyes closed. This is the 3th AC in my house. I did not find any major difference in cooling between ACs like Samsung & Voltas. But as I mentiond, it starts 10 mins before I reach home and cools the temperature. All my other ACs with same ton and star cost me more than 40k. All of us know that any electrical or Electronic product has an life span of min 5 yrs. So, be practical, Smart/wise and save money.
