Analysis
Build Aspect
The CAW18SC4R31F1 or ESTRA Cx is a 1.5 ton 3 star window AC from Carrier. Overall the unit is well built and weighs more than half a ton at 54 kilos. The design is simple however it feels tawdry and too generic looking. We can say the same for the remote too. This AC feels a budget offering by its looks all the way. We are especially not a fan of the dual tone color of the facade. Moreover it seems that carrier have now removed the PM2.5 filter which was previously included with this model.
Performance Aspect
Talking about reductions the cooling has reduced from 17400 BTU to 17060 BTU when compared with CAW18SN3R39F0. In contrast this AC has a 4 star energy efficiency rating, i.e., the ISSER has seen a strong improvement suggesting a different compressor altogether. Talking about differences the blower is quite the same which is as before a strong one and gives a healthy dose of cool air, its a good place to be in. In light of all the positives and limited negatives this 1.5 Ton window AC is a good buy especially considering its price and strong airflow.

Ac needs good space behind. If less space it keeps shutting off. Otherwise good.
