Best Daikin Split System Air Conditioners

On the 16th of July I purchased a $3400 Daikin Cora 6kw to be installed. The refrigeration engineers did a very neat job installing it (very happy).… Read more

HOWEVER when the power was switched on it instantly fried. The refrigeration engineers apologised and said they'd need to speak to Daikin. They phoned Daikin for a few days but Daikin never returned there call. So I phoned Daikin and got through after a long wait. I have now been given a job number and was told due to the fact of a long wait list, my unit may not be looked at until a long delay (until my job number comes up). A Daikin technician called and told me he has to order the parts. I have talked to the Daikin Technician and he's still waiting for parts. This is a brand new install in the middle of winter. This is one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. Daikin products are junk and fry instantly one powered. Daikin service is terrible to deal with. There whole service process stinks. If I new what I know now, I would never have bought Daikin. Beware!!!! By a different brand. Look at the Daikin Product review Page, it says it all. Poor product, poor service.

Update, Daikin has fully repaired my unit with all new electronics. I feel I was way too harsh now and I apologise to Daikin. Daikan stood behind their warranty.

No engineer cand do the service in AU – I had post a bad review 6 month ago, but even Daikin arrange their engineer to do the service, change the case and make sure all the parts had been… Read more

installed back correctly.

But the problem is still on going and become worse.

Now, it makes a CLIK sound when we turn it off. The sound could keep continuing for 2 mins..... Non stop ....and then show up every 1 min till the machine is really closed.

I know that US7 needs longer time to shot down. But with the CLIK sound.....No, I couldnt accept that ......it couldn't be right. There must be something wrong.

If you don't have the really perffectional engineer in AU to do the service, then you might need to ask for the help from Japan. Isn't it?

I believe that Japan's engineer could find out what wrong this this machine.

It might a install problem. Once the machine didn't been installed in correct way, it will make the noise and can't be quiet as the AD told us.

It might be caused by incorrect service. We had been serviced by several people who is not really know about US7. If they don't know, how could they do the service in right way.

Actually we had 2 Daikin split system ... Both are not recommended. In other country, Daikin provide an better service than in AU. No recommend you to buy.

In my country, once your air condition had any strange noise, CLIK sound, humming noise.... Daikin always help to solve the problems. If the problem can't be fixed, they will change a new air condition for you directly.

In AU... I bought this aircon in 2017 and in day one I had told them something wrong with the machine. They sent the engineer to check and also find the humming noise... It's not a normal sound from the aircon. But the engineer still insist ed the machine hasn't any operating issue. The machine is no problem.

In fact, we ask for service to fix many problem every year. Not a big problem, but annoying problems. No one has so many time to handle same problem every year.

We installed the Daikin Inverter Multi Split System with the CTXM25RVMA 2.5kW unit (ZENA) for our two bedrooms, and we love it. It operates very… Read more

quietly and cools and heats the rooms very quickly. The app is easy to use, allowing us to control the system even when we are not at home. The design is stylish, sleek, and slim. We highly recommend it.

This is the 2nd year in a row our Daikin has failed us – It’s probably not the product but the people representing the brand. Having waited 3 weeks for a Daikin tech to come out, he says that there is a… Read more

leak with the connection to the unit and it will cost $1000 to fix. Really? That’s more than it cost to be installed including copper and electrical. I’ve never had a full season from this unit since it was installed and with a potential $1k bill to tighten the connections and refill I’m very disappointed. My Fujitsu which is just a backup just works. Update: As per the rest of the unsatisfactory Daikin Product reviews I held back my review to give Daikin a chance to respond. I was given a link to complete a request to Daikin which I completed 6 days ago. They promised to get back to me with in 1-2 days and I have not heard anything from them so I now feel it is fair to publish my review now. Daikin representatives continue to dissapoint me.

Be warned - anyone sensitive to high pitched electrical whine/hissing noises, or installing in a quiet home/office environment, will find the Alira X… Read more

range very frustrating to live with. It seems to be a design or manufacturing fault which cannot be rectified. Highly suggest looking at other brands if you can. Apart from this design flaw, the unit cools and heats well. More info below.

We got 3x 2.5kw Daikin Alira X units installed at our home. We opted for the Alira X units as the more "premium" option vs. other brands. However, when the indoor unit is running, there is a constant electrical whine - a high pitched noise that gets louder as the fan level is increased. Given I installed it in bedrooms and my home office (which are quiet environments), the noise is very noticeable and results in breaking focus/ear irritation.

Since noticing this issue (which occurs on all 3 of our units including a unit that Daikin tried to fix), I have tried to replicate the issue with other brands. The Actron in our living area does not do this, and other models in hotels/other houses do not have the same issue. I can only replicate it on our Alira X units.

I tried to measure the frequency and it seems to land in the 4-6khz range (example noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx1VQISKvhc).

It seems to be related to the electrical componentry that powers the main fan, as the noise gets markedly worse when increasing the fan level.

Other minor issues include recurring rattling/vibrating on the housing which is resolved by a quick tap to the side of the indoor unit, until it recurs.

Practical and efficient – I opted for a floor standing air conditioner in my lounge because I didn't have anywhere to put a wall-mounted split system (too many high windows).… Read more

To be honest, I wouldn't have paid the extra money for the freestanding variant if it wasn't my only option. It's bulkier than wall-mounted systems and not particularly pretty. The cooling seems to be the same quality and efficiency as my wall-mounted split system (very good). This model is very quiet and brings down/up the temperature quickly. I bought this through Absolute Cool in Toowoomba, who also installed it. They were excellent to deal with.

Installed two of these units End of November 2024. One works okay the other has never been right. Once the summer heat hit it was absolutely useless.… Read more

Two visits from the installer, four visits from Daikin analysing replaced a few bits and 3 months later after paying for this thing in full it still doesn’t work. I am really annoyed and wished now I had installed Mitsubishi. Stay away from this product.Eventually the whole unit had to be replaced after a full first summer.
