Hitachi RAS80YHA (8.0kW)

Ok, lots of pros & cons – Our unit stopped working 9ish weeks after warranty expired.

as the original remote had V poor range, you had to walk right up to the unit for it to work.(yes, we used new batteries) heating & cooling both work very well. System operates with low noise. Durability & poor original remote let it down, but Hitachi honoured the warranty after it had expired around 2& a half months prior. I have noticed Hitachi has extended its warranty to 6 years as from 01/04/21 which is a very wise move to keep customers as I've noticed some people have left very negative reviews here saying their units failed just after warranty expired & they were refused free repairs. I would've done the same if Hitachi didn't honour the warranty, but they did, so they get a pretty good review from me.
