Analysis

Build Aspect

Hitachi is a no non-sense manufacturer of some powerful and capable Air Conditioners. The RAW318HEDO is a such 1.5 Ton offering in a window type body shell. Right off the bat there is attention to detail and style that sets this apart from many other generic looking window AC. Visual features such as a stylized louvers, transparent door on the front are an evidence of that. Apart from looks the AC feels particularly durable and posses a lot of heft. Similarly adding to the premium feel is the backlit enabled remote control, which is perfect in every sense.

Performance Aspect

Almost all Hitachi Air conditioners offer fantastic cooling performance, and this particular model is no less. Capable of over 17400 BTU cooling which when coupled with a fast fan with air flow of 450 CFM, the cooling effect is rather strong. In other words this AC is effective in bringing down the mercury together with smashing air very quickly. Since the ISEER is 3.09 this AC can be termed as a better 3 star unit. Unfortunately not only the AC lacks a PM 2.5 filter but also is somewhat noisy even at slowest fan speed, at 50db. Regardless, factoring in the superb cooling, fan speed and other nifty features it would be fair to conclude that this 1.5 window AC is one of the best currently in India.

Also: View this equally capable AC from Panasonic on Amazon before deciding.

PROS

Rich, premium looks.
Decent cooling, over 17400 BTU.
Capable fan motor, air flow 450 CFM.
Backlit remote.

CONS

No PM 2.5 filter.
Noise levels are somewhat high.

    Most useless product ,during first 12 months gas leaked and charged on payment , purchased in April 2017
    There after every year gas charged on payment.finally in 5th year compressor became faulty resulting into no cooling.got fed up and replaced with voltas today.
    Hitachi is very poor quality product with sub standard material.
    Service equally bad technicians non competent with casual attitude.
    Based on my experience I would suggest not to buy this product otherwise you will suffer.
