General Airstage Comfort ASTH18KNTA (5.0kW / 5.2kW) (Fujitsu)

Disappointed. Missing basic features – I bought this to replace my bedroom unit which was a 3.5kw Kelvinator which was a bit of a noisy unit although worked well before it died at 10 years old. Switching on this Fujitsu unit for the first time. My first impressions were of sheer disappointment regarding the lack of a digital readout on the head unit to tell of what temperature it was set at especially being a bedroom unit and in the dark. To make matters worse the remote has no backlit feature either so you're guessing of what you are doing in the dark and probably losing sleep when you get it wrong. While I might say this unit is quiet and does the job. I wouldn't say I could leave a door open and have it cool a few rooms other than my bedroom or very much thereof something of which my old 3.5 kw unit never had much trouble with doing. Mind you I didn't run it on powerful mode either so I'm yet to try this at a lenghthy period of time. I also do have a 5kw unit in my kitchen which has no problems cooling a few rooms on a hot day and being ice cold directly when needed. It is a Hisense and I bought for much less than this Fujitsu, it does have a digital readout and freezing cold when it needs to be and or hot in winter time and I've been running it non stop now for almost 3 years with no troubles other than to clean it's filters and fan wheel of the mold they collect over time. My Hisense unit also has a backlit remote and has also WiFi capability and has Alexa remote capability. Honestly I wish I had gone with another Hisense but I was advised not to. They have a wider more asthetically pleasing head unit with all the functions you need to be able see it in the dark. Even the remote glows in the dark so you can find it easy and if not control the thing with your phone. Not all things made in PRC are as bad as some people make out they are
