2. Carrier 1.5 Ton 3 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper, ESTERCxi CAI18ES3R30F1)

19107 BTU, 3 Star, Inverter, 580 CFM, Noise 42 db, ISEER 3.85, PM 2.5 Filter, 2 Way Auto Swing

Build Aspect

Carrier is a well known name in the heat-exchange arena, i.e., cooling and high performance ones at that. CAI18ES3R30F1 is another such split AC with very good specifications. The AC itself feels durable, although it is not as solidly built as one would expect. For instance the outdoor weighs 25.5 Kgs while the indoor unit clocks at 10.3 Kgs. Be that as it may the indoor has a sleek, clean and modern look on one hand and yet has a performance oriented stance on the other hand.

Performance Aspect

We expect nothing less than superb cooling from a Carrier AC and we are charmed to say the least. The 19107 BTU/hour compressor provides excellent cooling to the indoors, its a bit more than its 5 star counterpart too. In contrast the IDU has a 580 CFM fan speed vs the 670 of the 5 star model, nevertheless its quite adequate. As expected its noise levels are lower too at just 42 db at max fan speed. Likewise an ISEER of 3.85 w/w makes it an efficient 3 star AC. Unfortunately this AC has only 2 way auto swing feature and therefore the horizontal swing is manually adjustable. Perhaps it would suffice to say that this is one of the best 1.5 ton split AC under 35000 rupees in India.

3. Whirlpool 1.5 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper, ‎41328, Magicool Convert Pro 5S)

20336 BTU, 5 Star, Inverter, ~600 CFM, Noise 43db, ISEER 4.73, 2 Way Auto Swing

Build Aspect

The Whirlpool Magicool Convert Pro 5S (sai18b52mcd1) is a 5 star rated split AC. The IDU is a solidly built unit with a glossy finish and decent heft. Furthermore the IDU has a sleek look with straight lines and minimum overhang. However the outdoor unit is just 25 kilos which is unimpressive and concerning. Thankfully the remote is a handy unit with a good layout.

Performance Aspect

The cooling performance of this split AC is amazing. A BTU well in excess of 20000 puts catapults it right to the top. Its a diehard performance machine. Furthermore the blower is capable of ~600 CFM which is very quite apt for this AC. Since it is a 5 star rated AC, power consumption is well taken care of. Nothing is perfect though as this AC lacks a 4 way auto swing to focus its drafts of air and also lacks a PM 2.5 filter. Nonetheless all things considered its a fabulous and one of best 1.5 ton split ac costing under ₹ 35000 in India.

4. Hitachi 1.5 Ton 3 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper, RSNS317HEEA)

17400 BTU, 3 Star, Inverter, 530 CFM, Noise (L) 36db, ISEER 3.80, 2 Way Auto Swing

Build Aspect

Enzen 3100S / RSNS317HEEA is a budget Air Conditioner from the stables of Hitachi. This AC is not a premium offering like their 5100 series and therefore it is likely that there are some corners cut to make it affordable. Having said that the AC looks every bit as premium as the higher-end series and moreover this AC looks one of the better looking units in this price range. Furthermore the quality of plastics and build quality is very good. Its only when its put through the scales we see that the higher end models are more heavy owing to competent compressor and fan blower.

Performance Aspect

The RSNS317HEEA is a 3100S series split AC, packing 17400 BTU under the hood. While it is certainly a bit under power this unit is far from being under powered. Its effectiveness is felt within a short span of turning it on and additionally it has got a sufficiently good air blower, which has got a good draft. It was surprising to note that the noise levels indoors at low fan speed touch 36 db. When we think that this AC also lacks a 4 way swing, we start to lose focus on whats good. That is when the attractive price comes into picture. So this AC while has its own sets of positives and negatives, it definitely is a good buying considering its a Hitachi and costs under 35000 Rupees.

5. Panasonic 1.5 Ton 3 Star Inverter Split Air Conditioner (Copper, PM 2.5 Filter, CS/CU-RU18XKYTA)

18950 BTU, 3 Star, Inverter, 501 CFM, Noise 48 db, ISEER 3.9, 4 Way Auto Swing

Build Aspect

The CS/CU-RU18XKYTA is a budget 3 star Inverter Split AC from Panasonic. This IDU has a contemporary design with the family Panasonic looks, although plastic quality is unimpressive. Similarly the ODU is well built and durable, alas it is light in weight. Besides indoor unit also comes with a hidden display which further accentuates the looks and neatness. We have never been fans of Panasonic remote controls and this AC is no different since it has a very poorly designed remote with too slim buttons.

Performance Aspect

Panasonic ACs have good price to performance quotient and this model is no different. In summer heat, its a good place to be near this AC since it has 18950 BTU cooling capacity. Although the fan blower is not very powerful, it does a passable job of providing drafts of relief to the occupants. Additionally the PM 2.5 filter captures pollutants to give a healthy and cool environment. However it is noisy indoors at 48 db at max speed which can be an issue. In totality it is rather appropriate to term this as decent 3 star 1.5 Ton split AC under ₹ 35000.

6. Samsung 1.5 Ton 3 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper, AR18BYLZAUR)

18767 BTU, 3 Star, Inverter, 487 CFM, Noise 45db, ISEER 3.71, 2 Way Auto Swing

Build Aspect

Samsung is a well acknowledged brand. Especially for appliances such as ACs not only because of quality of their offerings but also thanks to the wide and strong after sales network. Coming to the AR18BYLZAUR, its 1.5 Ton 3 star split AC with an Inverter compressor. The exterior has a dual tone finish which looks elite and premium. Apart from that the quality of plastics, the filter access mechanism all are of very good caliber. Although the outdoor unit felt a little skinny, it is well put together and is rather shipshape.

Performance Aspect

Alright pace yourself, especially since this is about cooling. This split AC dons max 18767 BTU per hour cooling capability. What it means is that this 1.5 ton split is very potent and capable. However the blower is not to our liking, since it is lethargic and slow for a 1.5 ton AC, best suited to rooms which are not too long. Moreover Samsung has conveniently avoided giving a auto horizontal swing feature to it. Plus it also is devoid of a PM filter too. In totality its a decent AC and given its budget price a good buy if you are looking for a new 1.5 ton split AC in India. View the AR18BYNZBWK AC, its powerful and has Wi Fi too.

7. Lloyd 1.5 Ton 3 Star WiFi Inverter Split AC (Copper GLS18I35WSHL)

17913 BTU, 3 Star, Inverter, 471 CFM, Noise 40 db, ISEER 3.67, PM 2.5 Filter, 4 Way Auto Swing, Wi-Fi

Build Aspect

GLS18I35WSHL is a 1.5 Ton 3 star split AC with WiFi from the Havells brand Lloyd. Like with all Lloyd ACs this unit is very well rounded and the Indoor unit feels more small than it is. Similarly the outdoor unit is a hefty unit and therefore puts any concerns about durability to rest. Combined with silver accents this Air conditioner is smart in looks which very well complements its “smart” feature-set.

Performance Aspect

The cooling of this split AC is nothing to boast about, i.e., it is just average. Don’t get it wrong, the AC cools and does it job but when compared to industry heavy weights it feels somewhat laggard. For instance its fan speed is not too fast, being rated at just 471 CFM. The compressor is an average unit too, topping out at just 17913 British Thermal Units. Not all is bleak though as this AC is equipped with good purification capabilities such as HEPA filter and the whole shebang. Likewise it also comes with 4 way auto swing mechanism, which is always a welcome addition. Finally its Wi-Fi enabled making it a smart AC and voice control capable. As a result of its decent feature set it is definitely one of the best 1.5 ton split AC in India under ₹ 35000.

9. Voltas 1.5 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper SAC 185V JZJT)

19107 BTU, 3 Star, Inverter, 580 CFM, Noise 42 db, ISEER 3.85, PM 2.5 Filter, 2 Way Auto Swing

Build Aspect

Voltas has a lot of variety in their lineup of split ACs and the 185V JZJT is clearly not the best looking of the lot. It is a boxy and commercial looking design with all the curves at the wrong place. Truth be told, design and style quotient is not desirable. Having said that the build is good and it does not take more than a gander to ascertain that. By the same token the outdoor is also well built although it is not particularly inspiring if we are to go by its weight. Nonetheless its a robust machine.

Performance Aspect

It is not a subtle machine in the looks department but it is very subtle in the performance quotient. Packing an average joe 17743 BTU capable compressor the cooling is borders on adequacy. Furthermore its companion for life, the air blower is also an average one churning out 560 Cubic Feet of air per minute in the turbo mode. It is all just average about this AC, nothing flamboyant, nothing which can be talk of the town. Fortunately 4 way auto swing is there, which is one of the best features that many manufacturers avoid on cheaper models. Taking into consideration its average performance (not bad) and other key aspects such as price and affordability its a decent model and therefore a recommended one under 35000 rupees.
