    Did they just raise the postage? Listing page show $44.06 but it's $77.9 when you click into the item page.

  • prolo on 29/06/2015 - 00:04

    Yes, that's a good deal. Make sure you shop around on the install quote. I bought fujitsu in the last 20% ebay sale because i couldn't find the right size Pana units in stock.

  • Bellpop on 29/06/2015 - 08:14

    Good deal

  • sillyhead on 29/06/2015 - 08:19

    The 5kw units are always great because of the better eer. FYI Panasonic is supposed to have best vermin protection and reliability but is not super quiet.

    Fujitsu have advantages becuase of their more compact outdoor units.

    I bought 2 x 7kw panas last for living and lounge areas for $1240 each after cashback. They have been great but I'm a bit overpowered which is fine so 5kw units would have been more efficient. Though on extra days and when people are over opening doors etc the extra power is great.

    • ausginnygin on 29/06/2015 - 08:52

      With my big windows. I'm now thinking that i should have gone with 7Kw.

      Hmm Grass is always green on the other side.

    • JimmyF on 29/06/2015 - 11:26

      "Fujitsu have advantages becuase of their more compact outdoor units."

      Yes and no. In 'cold' areas the small unit freezers up easily compared to 'larger' outside units that have a larger surface area.

      The reverse can also apply in extreme heat. If you have the outsize space, go a larger outside unit!

      Source - We own a compact Fujitsu unit, yes it freezes up often in winter. Yes we wished we knew this before we brought it!

    • noshopping on 29/06/2015 - 15:37

      Panasonic use to make really great units, and you're right they have the vermin protection/anti mold feature, I have two houses fitted with numerous Panasonic splits. However, I can't say great things about the latest models. Two of the units I just bought months ago are broken and is currently being serviced by them, the recent hailstorm also dinted all my new Panasonic A/C cases, wheareas the older models had NO dints whatsoever. Maybe they use cheaper metal in the newer units or the hail was stronger/came in at a different angle at my other house, or maybe they have been cost cutting due to greater competition. They were bought at two different Good Guy stores. Great prices, however if I could turn back time I would probably get Daikin, 10% more expensive but it will last you decades, not years. Use to be a Panasonic fanboi but now, not so much :(

  • wfdTamar on 29/06/2015 - 09:08

    I got this model four years ago for $1300 which was a good price then so $888 is very good. It's been a good AC. I find it pretty quiet, particularly the outside unit. Had to get another remote. Also the minimum setting for heating is 16 degrees (I'd like it to be lower).

  • Dionysus on 29/06/2015 - 09:12

    Anyone know the approximate cost to install one of these?

    • wfdTamar on 29/06/2015 - 09:19
      +1

      Very variable - depends where you are (how competitive the install market is). Depends a lot on your property, how far they have to run the pipes. Count on at least $500-750, but could be more. You can save heaps using google and eBay, but it's dodgy.

      • Dionysus on 29/06/2015 - 09:50

        Understood..

        Thanks

    • Steptoe on 29/06/2015 - 09:20

      ~$650 for back to back.

    • PVA on 29/06/2015 - 12:51

      around $600-$700 usually.

    • snook on 29/06/2015 - 13:09

      I got a 5kw samsung summer before last from TGG. Used their installer (couldn't find anyone else interested). Cost $600ish and we put our own electrical in from the unit to the front box.

      • Twisty on 29/06/2015 - 14:15

        How much you guys think installation would be if you are replacing a A/C with this on in the same spot

        • captobvious on 29/06/2015 - 23:02

          Probably the same. Usually mounts need to be remounted due to different width of outdoor unit. New copper piping needs to be run, evacuated, leak/pressure test. You might save $100-200 on existing electrical provided the breaker is suitable etc and labour 2-3hrs for a ground unit one, if its on another story than add cherry picker rental.. its pretty easy money for a fridgey.

    • altomic on 29/06/2015 - 09:39

      3 years ago I had 2 panasonic units installed-
      1 x CSICUE18MKR
      1 x CS/CUE12MKR

      installation was $400 total for the 2 units. the installer supplied the units (I probably could have bought them cheaper but needed them then and there).

      For my AC installation I had a company called Cool-link Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Pty Ltd Phone 07 38831994 -located in Clontarf.

      As my house was built in the 1940s it meant that the wiring from the external/incoming power supply wasn't capable of handling the current draw so that also had to be replaced (as well upgrading the mains board - previous board was original) total for that was $750

      sparky was Jade from Tripped Out 3885 2352 -also located in Clontarf.

      Both the installer and sparky were very prompt and professional

      • sillyhead on 29/06/2015 - 10:22

        Just have been some mark up on the units to get them installed for $200 each.

        • PVA on 29/06/2015 - 12:52

          not including power.

      • pembajak_sejati on 29/06/2015 - 14:07

        Wow that installation is very cheap? I did mine $450 each on Sydney.. maybe i paid too much :(

      Also remember the $250 energex peaksmart rebate for seq.

      • Shonky on 29/06/2015 - 11:50

        It's $100, $200 or $400 dependent on unit size:

        • prolo on 29/06/2015 - 19:54

          We looked at that but didn't want our units to "brown out" in heatwaves. Also would like one day to install solar and power our a/c that way.

        • Shonky on 29/06/2015 - 20:06

          @prolo:
          It's not a brown out at all. It's a simple message to operate at reduced capacity. It doesn't turn it off. Just at lower levels with the lowest being fan only in the worst case. It only gets switched on a few times per year. You can also remove it at a later date but would need an electrician to do that.

        • prolo on 29/06/2015 - 20:10

          @Shonky:
          Those days are the days you need it most.

        • Shonky on 29/06/2015 - 20:12

          @prolo:
          You're missing the point. If everyone runs their air conditioning on those days, the grid may not be able to keep up and then whole suburbs can go out and you have no electricity at all.

          It's staged reduced capacity mode too, not a simple off command.

        • prolo on 29/06/2015 - 20:18

          @Shonky: as i said, "Also would like one day to install solar and power our a/c that way."

    • prolo on 29/06/2015 - 19:51

      We used Coldpro (Shane). Excellent service. Seemed v professional. Approx $650 per unit but each unit needed double storey piping. Electrical included.

  • sillyhead on 29/06/2015 - 09:27

    https://www.serviceseeking.com.au/profile/90503-cleveland-ai…

    The guys good on the southside. I think we paid $600 back to back and he gave me a good deal on a replacement of another back to back.

    But really $650 is good for back to back.

  • Porco Rosso on 29/06/2015 - 10:36

    Are these the sort of things that you can fit in a hatch with the back seats down? (Hyundai i30 hatch). Not just the delivery saving, but even moreso the fact that I don't need to be home to accept delivery..!

    • whitey on 29/06/2015 - 19:02

      Yeah, me too. I bought one for stage 2 on my man cave-workshop.
      Stage 1 (workshop)has been finished for ages so this should give me incentive to get stage 2 done sooner rather than later.
      Panasonic has the RRP as $2,213 on their website but it looks like these normally go for between $1250- $1500.
      The good thing is I can fit it myself and get the fridgey part done for a carton of piss.

    This is 2.5 Star Energy Rating, this good, normal or poor for this current Gen A/C?

    • wfdTamar on 29/06/2015 - 17:32
      +1

      It's ok to good. Some MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ones are better, possibly some other brands have some now) Interesting that the smaller they are, the more efficient they are (more stars). So two little ones are more efficient than one big one. Of course you then have to size them correctly for the space you're dealing with.

  • BluBoy on 29/06/2015 - 20:06

    This model is rated 15th in Choices Medium sized air conditioners (out of 'more than 40').
    Does anyone have one? how would they rate it?

    Choice does not like its heating efficiency - It is pretty much one of the lowest rated for this.
    On the flip side, it is significantly quieter than most of the competitors.

    (Also, What is a rough install price in Melbourne?)

  • dragon5664 on 29/06/2015 - 22:50

    We used AIRsonic (Hensdrick) in Melbourne. Installed 2x Pana 3.5kw + 1x Pana 8kw with AIRsonic
    and extremely happy with the professional service and competitive pricing. Paid $500 for each
    back to back installation, including one installation on the second storey.

    Picked one up about an hour ago - unfortunately no stock in stores around me (we must have cleared them out!) so had to pay $44 for delivery.

    For those that bought - I did a bit of research and general consensus it that you should be able to plug this model into a standard powerpoint - though to be safe you shouldn't have anything else on the circuit.

    Has anyone who bought this via eBay claimed the cashback yet?

    http://promotion.panasonic.com.au/aircongifts/ refers to submission of "original tax invoice / purchase receipt showing a zero balance for verification purposes."

    Does the Paypal receipt count? Or do I have to wait for delivery of the unit (which is still 1-2 weeks away, as my local GG had to order more stock from Pana) in order to submit the 'official' receipt?

    • tokyo on 08/07/2015 - 15:03

      They had stock at the GG I selected for pick up and used the official receipt. I got emailed an electronic copy so they should be able to send you the same so you can get started on the cashback claim. I don't think the PayPal receipt will count.

    • noz on 12/07/2015 - 10:28

      I would say you need the original receipt. GG gave me the receipt when they delivered it.

      • majormick on 15/07/2015 - 15:55

        Thanks guys. GG were able to e-mail me a digital receipt, but these units must have been ozbargained hard - new ETA on stock is end of July. In any case, I've started the claims process and will update when I get the Serial Number. Apparently once the claims process is started, I have until 21st August to complete. So hopefully no more delays…

  • noz on 12/07/2015 - 10:31

    Just wondering whether anyone else has had these installed yet? The outdoor unit of mine is quite loud and "buzzy". Wondering whether or not this is normal.
    (Other than that it is working well).
