Analysis

Build Aspect

Lloyd is a Havells brand and makes some of the best budget AC units which are not only cost effective but also good in performance. GLS18I36WSBP is a 1.5 Ton 3 star Inverter compressor AC which is also a potent example of the brands traits. The AC is a beautiful unit with a uniquely textured front and rounded corners and a LED display. Moreover the Indoor unit feels relatively compact as a result of the curves and rounded edges. In totality the AC seems quite expensive and well built at the same time.

Performance Aspect

The cooling capability of the AC is good and it is effective generally speaking. The energy efficiency is a mediocre 3 stars and the ISEER rating is also 3.83. Moreover the air flow speed of the indoor unit is average only at 518 CFM and as a result AC may be not as effective in longer rooms. On the positive side the noise levels at max fan speed are just 42 db which is very good, and makes the AC less obtrusive in the room. Unfortunately the AC has only 2 way auto swing which is a deal breaker in this price range (The 5 star model has 4 way). To summarize it would be fair to say that this is a budget AC and an inverter one at that but is only mediocre in performance, although its at par at its price point so to say.
