Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9 1.5 HP Aircon Review

Share

When most people buy an air conditioner, they’re not looking for anything fancy. While it’s great to have a ton of cooling options and different smart features, at the end of the day Filipino consumers want an aircon that can simply cool them reliably. In today’s Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9 1.5 HP aircon review, we’ll take a look at how the Cooling King line steps up to the challenge.

Buying an air conditioner is all about solving a simple problem. In a tropical country prone to long, hot summers, all you need is an appliance that can keep you cool and do it efficiently. Sure, there are other concerns that come to the forefront, like antibacterial filters and self-cleaning, but an aircon that puts in a good performance is usually enough to satisfy most Filipinos.

Filipino buyers are usually split on what brand to buy and what features to look for. While sometimes it just boils down to personal preference, the best thing for buyers to do is arm themselves with information. Below, we’ll take a closer look at the Daikin Cooling King and see if it’s a solid enough option for Filipinos to pick.

Most Filipino buyers know that if you want quality appliances in the region, you turn to Japan at the end of the day. Daikin Airconditioning Philippines is a subsidiary of Daikin Industries, one of the biggest appliance and electronics manufacturers in Japan.

If you want expertise in air conditioning, this is the brand to go to. Daikin has experience with nearly all kinds of air conditioning products, from residential, commercial, and even industrial cooling products. While the company itself might be relatively new to the Philippines, it’s proven its quality over decades in the industry.

Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9 Specs

It’s become common knowledge that inverter technology is at the forefront of energy efficiency in air conditioning. However, that efficiency can come with a price— inverter-type air conditioners are more expensive thanks to the added technology.

Consumers thus find themselves in a dilemma: pay the higher price upfront for an inverter aircon and save more on energy costs over the years, or stick with a less efficient, non-inverter aircon? While you might think that inverter aircon is the only way to go if you care about energy efficiency, the Daikin Cooling King line could prove you wrong.

The Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9 1.5 HP is a non-inverter split-type air conditioner. Split types are growing in popularity because of their efficient use of space: unlike window-type aircons, which need to be installed in a gap such as a window or a gap in the wall, split-type aircons can be mounted on a solid wall.

The pipe that connects the inner unit to the outer compressor and other parts does not require much space, so there’s no need for extensive renovations to set your unit up. In addition to this, split-type air conditioners tend to be quieter because the compressor unit is located outside the home.

Cool King

How does the Daikin Cooling King perform? At top quality, even without an inverter. The 1.5 HP model has a rated cooling capacity of 12,000 Btu/hr, with a power consumption of 1155 W. This puts its Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) at 10.41 kJ/h, which is a surprisingly high rating for a non-inverter unit.

This means that you’re getting a performance almost at par with some inverter unit models. The Cooling King line also makes use of environmentally-friendly refrigerant R410A, so you can rest easy— literally.

Quick Cooling

With the Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9, you don’t ever have to worry about sweating on a hot day. This unit comes with a Turbo Mode that allows the indoor fan motor to run at max speed for up to 20 minutes before returning to normal. This allows your room to get cooled down faster, keeping your comfort a priority.

Quiet Nights

If you’ve ever had to wake up in the middle of the night to shut off your aircon because it got too cold, then you can now look forward to some uninterrupted sleep. The Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9 comes with a Sleep Mode that stops your unit from cooling your room excessively. It automatically raises the temperature after a period of time, allowing you to sleep better and more comfortably in an already cool room.

Auto Random Restart

One of the more frustrating parts of living in a country where weather events can get extreme is that power interruptions can get frequent. Luckily, with the Daikin Cooling King FTN-AXVL9 1.5 HP, you don’t have to deal with the frustration of getting up to put your settings back the way they were after a power interruption. The unit restarts automatically with the same settings, eliminating the need for a manual restart.
