Thailand is not Fahrenheit where people consider 60's short sleave weather. Our bodies do adjust and if not a short term tourist from the cold lands most of us will be happy with much higher normal temps.

You must be a bus driver. 28 when go to bed and normally change to 29 after midnight. Sleep in PJ without cover. Have air directed away or over bed. New Daikin have .5 degree settings and appear to be very accurate at keeping same temp. I suspect more than a bit too small - and have also had a bit of rain when units running at full tilt so suspect larger unit will help.

You can't wash a carbon filter AFAIK. You can wash a pre-filter which both my Hatari and Sharp units have - just like an airconditioner filter it helps keep large particles from entry and blocking airflow.

Air Coolers, does it work ?(the one where you add water and ice)

I agree TCL appears very good value and have had good luck with older TV sets of that brand. Believe there used to be a lot of issues with inverter electronics but (hope) most have been resolved - but agree often better to buy new if major failure. -

It must be your air up there 🙂 - here in polluted Bangkok amazing clean white. But perhaps this is a newer unit and plastic has been improved as only 5 years old and you won't buy Daikin. -

Have had that brand also - did not last 10 years however - but they are considered a top brand. One thing I can say about a 5 year old Daikin is that the plastic is as white as the day bought - can not say that for any other brand we have had. Also Daikin seem to use the same mounting plate for different size air handlers so easy to replace if needed. -

Yes it is a split inverter system and considered by most to be the best brand for sale in Thailand. Installed the two units last week and working fine with no issues. Cost was 3k to remove old/install each new but long time ac worker and no extra costs. We know not cheapest install but trust worker as have used for several decades. -

But remember air has to flow easily through the air conditioner to work - even 3M filtrete is not advised to use for more than part of air intake.

Can to explain why? The HEPA filter in the air filter is not effected by your aircon and still removes tiny ppm2/5 dirt from the air. Most aircon remove only larger partials.

Actually many have a built in monitor of some type. But portable meters are available and useful to get an idea of levels outside of purified area.

Have had several Hatari over the years but had issues getting filters when they changed models and they are not cheap. But units worked well.

Have found Sharp units under 3k to be both very effective, high air flow, low noise and easy to obtain filters. And use 24 hours a day without issues.
