excellent air conditioning – I had the MSV-GL80VGD installed after having a useless evaporative unit installed in a new home build. I have not been let down by Mitsubishi and their reputation. This unit cools an area of around 60 square meters in no time, it is also super quiet, this also being the case for the unit outside. I also have the smaller MSZ-GL25VGD installed… Read more
in the master bedroom and it cools this small area fast.
While on auto these units run quiet once chosen temperature has been reached,.there is also quiet mode which is perfect for sleeping and I don't even know its running except that the room is cool.
Wi-fi connection and app are perfect for turning unit on before arriving home and keeping house cool for my inside living dog.
Remote controls is easy to use with lots of functionality.
Energy consumption is great and I have not been shy in running these units,with the bedroom unit running most nights through summer.
Aesthetically pleasing units, a little large but not intrusive.
These units have run without a problem and i look forward to many years use from these quality built air conditioners.
Excellent unit (except the heat settings) – We got one of these for our unit for downstairs. It's a very power-efficient unit, we can run it all day on the Eco mode at 22-24 degrees and it doesn't cost a million dollars. The downstairs of our unit is all open-plan, and this comfortably cools down the entire downstairs area. As we have no ceiling fans downstairs this is really a must-have… Read more
for the summer months. The remote control is easy to understand and use. Never had a problem with it. Runs very quiet on eco mode, but if you bump up the fan speed it can be a little bit noisy (not in a bad way though). Settings-wise it has a lot of different functions available. We haven't really used the heat settings, but in the past when we have, we have found that it makes the area around the unit quite humid so we don't tend to use it for that in the winter months. It was very easy to install the unit (we did have someone do it for us) but it was a quick and simple process and didn't require any excessive work to fit the system.
Amazingly efficient – We live on stand alone solar power (no grid connection) and never imagined we would be able to run a split system air conditioner. Our solar power system is only 2 kw of panels, not a big system at all. The Mitsubishi is spectacularly efficient, using around 500 watts most of the time, and as low as 250 watts once it has achieved the set… Read more
temperature. It uses only about 500 watts to produce around 2500 watts of heating or cooling effect, which is amongst the most efficient units around. It also uses only 1 watt on standby, many other brands use 5 watts or more on standby, which adds up over time.
It is also exceptionally quiet inside and out. we have the 2.5 kw model, the smallest in the range, installed in the bedroom only a metre from the bed and on the lower fan settings it causes no sleep disturbance at all. (I have tinnitus, ringing in the ears, and I find the slight fan noise actually helps distract me from the tinnitus, helping me get to sleep.) There is even a "quiet mode" where the fan is almost inaudible, but that cuts the performance down a fair bit.
The remote is reasonably clear, it is simple enough to use and the screen is a good size, but the little symbols on the remote control screen are very small and all look the same, so I need to put my glasses on to use it. Bigger symbols would help.
It has a good feature that you can set it to come on at a certain time, or stop at a certain time. But you have to set it to do that AT a time, it is not a count down timer. So if it is midnight and you want it to run for an hour while you get to sleep, you have to change the OFF time from wherever it was set last time you used it (which may have been 4pm for example) round to your desired off time of 1am. It gets annoying when you have to find your glasses, check the time now (midnight), and reset the stop time (1am). It would be so much easier if you could just set a countdown timer ( tell it to cool for 60 minutes.) Anyway, first world problem...
One good feature is that you can hinge the air outlet louvres open to clean the louvres and fan blades. Most brands you can only open the inlet grille to clean the filters, but not the outlet. On the Mitsubishi, you can do both. It helps to stop smelly stuff building up inside.
The minor gripe of the timer function aside, it is a great aircon and I would recommend it to anybody.

So cold and so warm ! – Love this reverse cycle air conditioner. Ideal for bedroom use but still would be good for bigger areas. Only takes a couple of minutes to have the temperature of the room come down and its so quiet when your sleeping at night that I forget it’s even on. Show details
Very effective cooling system – This air conditioning unit is very good and works well. It has a good remote control, and the display on the remote is easy to understand. Its cooling and heating are satisfactory. This is an air conditioner with superior performance. Show details
Saved me thru summer heat in my bedroom – This ac is by far the best product I have a very large bedroom with hall and the ac cools it down with ease it is quite cheep to run it saved me over summer in Queensland Show details

BAD Split system poor after service – The machine started leaking after 2 years, PRair (authorizes Mitsubishi repairer) came TWICE to fix it, only to show how bad they were at fixing leaking AC units, they tape some pipe and changed the drain pan, did nothing at all for the leaks. Then someone from Mitsubishi came and diagnosed the problem that they need to cut the wall right… Read more
underneath the indoor unit but at our cost, blaming the installer’s faulty etc etc.
How did they get rated so highly as top AC brand? Please avoid Mitsubishi units at all costs.
Was good until it broke down within a short time – Worked well, but stopped working due to gas leak within 3 years. Neither the installer or Mitsubishi want to honour the warranty. We are given excuses. Terrible after sale service Show details
Sleep with eye mask light so bright – This air conditioner would be fine if in a room you never want to sleep in. The light is so bright I have to sleep wearing a face mask. I rang and requested to give this feedback to the company and they wouldn't take my feedback just saying it's not possible not to have a light because it diagnoses the problems. When we bought our house there is a… Read more
kelvinator already installed in the other bedroom and you can switch the light off so it is possible but as a company is not interested in our feedback we will just shift to a smaller bedroom and never use this company again.

Functionality in both seasons has been quiet. Very impressed with the eco mode as well as the variety of settings which there are to choose from. Show details
Climate Control at Home – We live in an apartment and this reverse cycle split system helps to keep the inside temperature at an acceptable level no matter the outside conditions. It is a quiet unit and woks effortlessly. It may be a bigger unit than needed but we did not want to overwork the unit if conditions meant we had to work the unit inside harder.

Fantastic option -incredible quiet – We were tired of having a noisy split system and recently upgraded to Mitsubishi. We went on a holiday and they had them in the apartment we rented, and we were amazed at how quiet they were. So in line with recent home renovs we replaced our existing units. Best decision ever. They are super quiet and you can also buy the wifi interface and… Read more
operate from your mobile phone. So now we can turn on prior to getting home and have the room at the perfect temp. Cost a little more but well worth it. Also worth noting - one arrived faulty and we only found out at installation. Harvey Norman Thomastown handled the replacement and it was hassle fee and completed within 24hours.
