Analysis

Build Aspect

The SI/SO-15T3SDIA is a superb value for money 1.5 Ton AC from Sanyo. The AC is a well built unit but has a generic and crude looks. The plastics used are are not the best in business, albeit a gander at the AC wasn’t enough to reach this conclusion. The weight of ODU is approx 27 Kgs which is rather low for a 1.5 ton inverter AC. Moreover the remote is a small unit with slim buttons which are counter intuitive. On the bright side the AC is a budget friendly option and is perhaps one of the cheapest 1.5 ton 3 star inverter AC currently available.

Performance Aspect

The performance of this AC has reduced vis a vis SI/SO-15T3SCIC. The BTU have dropped to 18420 from 18750, while the drop is small the effect is certainly felt, nonetheless its a decent compressor with enough potency to air condition a mid sized room. However for reasons beyond my understanding Sanyo has plonked a much weaker and slower fan blower which tops out at 441 CFM, this is bordering high performance 1 ton territory here. What this basically means is that the draft of this AC is weak and certainly not the best. It does not stop here, although the AC remains 3 star rated the ISEER has reduced a smidgen from 3.80 to 3.70. Its all very disappointing. Thankfully the PM 2.5 filter is retained. Don’t loose hope so soon, because its priced very competitively and thus has a very superb value for money quotient. As a result its a recommended 1.5 ton split for those on a budget.
