- Room Size Suitability: Ideal for rooms 150-180 sq ft.
- Copper Pipes: Verify the presence of copper pipes upon delivery for better cooling and longevity.
- Box Contents: Indoor unit includes user manual, blower, and remote; outdoor unit includes copper pipes, connecting wires, and compressor.
- Design and Build Quality: Good build quality with metal on some parts and plastic to prevent rodent intrusion. Easy to clean front panel.
- Installation: Hitachi servicemen provided good service and clean installation.
- Installation Cost: Approximately ₹10,000 (including outdoor unit stand).
- Copper Condenser Coil: Offers durability and efficient cooling.
- Inverter Technology: Saves electricity by adjusting fan speed to maintain the desired temperature.
- Energy Consumption: Rated at 823 units per year (actual usage may vary).
- Four-Way Swing: Provides horizontal and vertical air distribution but lacks a louver found in some other AC models.
- Air Throw: Offers good air throw distance (15-18 feet).
- Anti-Bacterial Filter: Removes pollutants and harmful bacteria from the air.
- Hidden Displays: Offers three display modes (bright, dim, off).
- Backlit Remote: Convenient for use in low-light conditions.
- Noise Level: Operates at 37-39 dB.

- It's capable of making the room feel like Shimla (a cold hill station) even in winter.
Here are the key pointers from the video transcript:
- Hitachi AC Overview: The video reviews new AC models from Hitachi, focusing on advantages and disadvantages.
- AC Tonnage Guide: Recommends pausing the video to check a chart for appropriate AC tonnage based on room size. Suggests watching a detailed AC buying guide video on their channel.
- Buying Options: Links to purchase Hitachi ACs are in the description box. An app installation might be required for warranty registration.
- Heavy Duty AC Specs:
- Cools up to 200 sq ft.
- 5422 watts cooling capacity (1.54 tons equivalent).
- Indoor unit: 11.4 kg, Outdoor unit: 29+ kg.
- 5-star rating, 5.10 ISEER value, 37 dB noise level.
- Normal AC Specs:
- Cools up to 170 sq ft.
- 5000 watts cooling capacity (1.42 tons equivalent).
- Indoor unit: 10 kg, Outdoor unit: 28+ kg.
- 5-star rating, 5.0 ISEER value, 34 dB noise level.
- Common Features (Both ACs):
- 100% copper cooling and condenser coils with anti-corrosion coating.
- R32 refrigerant.
- Stabilizer-free operation (but recommends using a separate stabilizer for safety).
- Tropical design inverter rotary compressor for power saving and uniform cooling.
- Expandable+ feature for increased cooling capacity.
- Ice Clean feature for indoor unit coil cleaning.
- 4-way swing (vertical & horizontal).
- Dust filter.
- Airflow: Heavy duty AC claims 24m airflow (expect 15-16m practically), normal AC claims 15m (expect 10m practically).
- Warranty: Check the warranty details. Noise Level: Noise level is higher until AC achieves the optimal cooling performance. Heavy duty AC is noisier due to larger components.
- Disadvantage: Service availability in rural areas may be limited; replacement of parts might be difficult.
- Recommendation: If the room size is large, then heavy duty AC is a good choice which costs ₹ 84,990. For smaller rooms (up to 170 sq ft), normal AC is suitable.
- The speaker is lamenting that their youth is fading away while waiting for someone.
- They didn't pursue anyone else ("चक्कर में दूसरी पटाई नहीं").
- They spent the night in the fields, but the person they were waiting for didn't come.
