Powerful, quiet and easy to use – I recently upgraded from another Fujitsu unit that lasted over 10 years in a fairly extreme coastal environment. This new unit is larger than the previous one and effortlessly cools down a very large open plan living room/kitchen. The remote is intuitive and the indoor unit blends in well, I'd recommend this Fujitsu unit for large houses. Show details ·  1

Efficient and does the job well – We needed a big unit to cool / heat the whole ground floor of our house. We are glad we chose this unit. It’s a power house and reaches the desired temperatures really quick. Functions come in handy especially the swing can be adjusted in both ways vertically and horizontally. Happy with the purchase  Show details ·  1

Fault after 2 years ! – I wish I had read these reviews prior to purchasing our Fujitsu air-con ... ours has just turned 2 years (not used during winter) and we put it on during our first warm day last wwwk and all the lights were flashing .. we just had a technician out and like others problem with the cooling coil ... basically the whole wall unit needs to be replaced… Read more

.. I asked if the whole unit should be replaced and the guy said no this is a common problem with this unit .. doesn’t fill me with confidence that the unit will last longer term when fixed ... now I have to wait a couple of weeks for parts .. I’d rather get a new unit ... won’t buy this brand again

Brilliant products, Review from installer – Can I just say, we put these along with other Fujitsu and other leading brand products in on a day to day basis. IMO Fujitsu is the most reliable. It is important to know that 90% of the time the problem lies with the installation. Top notch units! Show details ·  1

Very good aircon – This is a very good unit. It heats the house quickly and economically. The settings are easy to understand and set and the remote control simple to use. It cools extremely well on the hottest Queensland summer day, and, when on the QUIET setting is not at all intrusive. Looks good too. Show details ·  1

DO NOT BUY FUJISTU – The biggest waste of money I have ever spent. Unit worked fantastic for the first 3 months then it started to cut out approximately every half hour for about 15 minutes. I contacted the guy that installed my other splits, I contacted Fujistu who sent a refrigeration mechanic over. Both couldn’t find a problem even though when it’s 40+ degrees, it… Read more

cuts out. When it’s 8 degrees outside and I have the unit on heat at 30 degrees, it still cuts out. I was told by the Fujistu rep that ‘this is its normal operation’. If I knew that this was its ‘normal operation’ then I wouldn’t have wasted my money on buying what I thought was a good brand of spilts, to fill my whole house. Unless you want to stay cool for half hour and then the split warm your house back up because it’s cut out then just stay away from Fujistu. I am now stuck with thousands of dollars worth of Fujistu splits that apparently I can’t do anything about.

Fujitsu – Product works great, the energy efficiency could be better but this is one of the larger units. Heats and cools our larger lounge room and the smart sensor works particularly well. We did have a leak in the condenser coil but we called the retailer and we had some one out to replace the part under warranty. Show details ·  1

Worst airconditioning brand do not buy!! – I purchased a.9.4kw reverse cycle aircon 1 year ago for $2,400. It seemed to be working well until all these error lights appeared and no air was coming out. Upon calling Fujitsu I was told there was a two week wait to even get a technician out to have a look at the unit. Meanwhile it’s the middle of summer and we are going through a heat wave. I… Read more

have a toddler and a 6 week old newborn. My neighbour who installed the unit and who is a qualified installer had a quick look and said it was the main electrical board that had broken. This is a major problem. I called Fujitsu asking since there is a 2 week wait with their ‘preferred technicians’ could we get our own and bill Fujitsu to pay for the repair. But they were rude when talking to them and said no. I have had Mitsubishi and Panasonic’s in the past and none have broken in 1 year not to mention Fujitsu is more expensive and I believed they had a better reputation. Still waiting for a technician to check out the unit. This is not good enough, just goes to show the amount of warranty claims and broken units if the wait time is 2 weeks for repairs. I bought an airconditioner for my family and children especially for this extreme heat we have in summer in Brisbane Instead the 1 year old unit isn’t even working. Anyway I would never buy a Fujitsu again nor recommend one to anyone

Fujitsu reliability and Reputation – After 14 years our Fujitsu split system air-conditioner stopped working. We have had great reliability from this unit and despite looking at alternatives, our experience and the brand reputation relayed by various resellers ratified our decision to replace like for like. To our surprise, 14 years later the largest split system unit still cost the… Read more ·  1

same price. I would say that is value for money and we look forward to having the same reliable service from the new unit that we have had for the first 6 months of its life.

Unit does not work - 2 years old – Unit stopped working December 2019. Unable to get an authorised dealer out for about 3 weeks. When a service agent was able to inspect they found that the installation was ok but there was a leak somewhere in the main unit. Fujitsu advised that there was no stock of an inside unit but they did have a part available which was explained to me "as… Read more

the whole guts of the unit except the white casing". Well today the 31st Jan the service dealer came back to replace the internal "guts of the unit". Well when they opened the part it was not the whole internal unit. It was going to require 8 hours worth of work for the 2 installers to assemble a new machine (using some of the existing parts) and was advised that they only get 2 hours worth of reimbursement. They are again requesting a whole new assembled unit. Until then I am the one suffering from a faulty machine - terrible for a unit whose running time was only 23 months.

Powerful, Great design – We replaced our 15 year old Fujitsu heating and cooling unit with a bigger Fujitsu one. It works efficiently and the Powerful button on remote gives you an instant boost of heat. You can control the fan speed easily with the remote. Have only used this unit for hearing only. It warms up our downstairs area efficiently and quickly. We are also very… Read more ·  1

happy with the design. Received our Fujitsu Pre Paid Visa card very quickly. Fujitsu very professional company.

Love it, use it throughout summer and in coldest parts of winter to quickly heat or cool entire hous – Easy to use. East to maintain Instructions could be clearer Remote could be designed better though, it is very big and some of the names of buttons aren't reflective of others I've used before. Goes like a little beauty though. 10 year warranty suits me fine when buying such an item.  Show details ·  1

Very disappointed a high end 9.4kW aircond barely lasts a year! – I have three large kw airconditioner brands at home LG (20 years) panasonic (5yrs and still working perfectly) and the Fujitsu ASTG34KMTA. This fujitsu is simply the mostly unreliable air cond of them all. It has failed in less than a year! Not blowing cold air. Technician identified fault in the coil causing gas to leak. Parts on back order and… Read more

still no sign of it after 3+weeks. The parts are on "back order" and I understand there are many customers waiting for it. This must be a DESIGN problem! Suggest if you want reliability ..Do not buy this airconditioner!

I will update again to confirm whether it gets fixed at all. As part of my ringing around to replace my LG i hear from many installers that fujitsu quality is not what it used to be.

Better than I thought – This was bought to replace a wood burner and it has prooved much better than thought. It is comparable to the cost of wood and without all the physical moving of the wood and constant tending to the fire. It does not waste due to being run all night to keep the house warm as it can be started remotely 20 minutes beforehand and the room is warm as… Read more

though it was working all night. But best of all is the cooling for hot days. The price paid was much less than anticipated due to some great deals at the time and could not be happier.

Cools the house in no time! – This unit is simple to use and incredibly effective in cooling our entire house- I bought this to cool our open planned living, dining, kitchen and play rooms because we find the evaporative in our house is useless! It actually manages to keep the entire house cool! It is quite noisy on the higher fan settings but I don't find that's needed… Read more

anyway. I set it to 25 deg on fan speed 2 and it cools our entire house. On installation when it has to run at a low temp at high fan for 30 mins our house was a complete ice box!

Love that we can use the remotes for any system around the house – This has proven to be a great split system that cools the house quite well. It's quiet both inside and outside. We have these in all rooms in our house and I love that the remotes aren't set for just one machine. When we misplace a remote, we just grab one from the other rooms. However, as a busy mum, I don't have time to work through all of the different options on the remote. So I just leave it on the one option.  Show details

Rather loud and cumbersome – Not the most beautiful thing to adorn the walls of our home, although the salesman assured us it would be near silent, which isn't the case at all unless you have it on quiet mode. It keeps the place cool, and is adequate as a heater (if a little on the expensive side when it comes to powerbills) I would not recommend this to a friend unless they… Read more

are simple looking for the biggest (or greatest output) at 10KW it's hard to argue that it is powerful, but I'd rather have a little quiet time and be slightly warmer than have to deal with the fish tank humming sound.

Cool as – Love this product, on our second season and no issues at all. Runs all day without a hiccup. Super high power bill is the down side but that goes for any air-conditioner. Remote control unit is stored in a wall mount so it doesn't get lost, simple to use, no degree required, I would recommend this product without hesitation, very happy.  Show details
