MITSUBISHI AIR CON SALES AND SERVICE

BEST BRAND OF AIR CON FOUR HUNDRED YEARS RUNNING

That’s nearly eight centuries by my clock. They must be pretty good.

MITSUBISHI HEAVY WINS BEST BRAND OF AIR CON EVERY YEAR

What’s been the best brand of air conditioner since as long as anyone can remember? Mitsubishi Heavy Industry .Why are these things so good? It’s true they aren’t as sleek or shiny as the Panasonic. They don’t have the funny rattle you get free with Akai and LG. When you buy a Mitsubishi Heavy, your buying peace. Not peace of mind, literal peace. See, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries make all of Japans military equipment. If you didn’t buy that air con, they would have spent the time building a m117 howitzer mobile artillery unit or the SU27 Fighter Jet on license from Russian Aero space. That is when they aren’t making battle tanks, trains and satellites.

If you didn’t buy that air conditioner there’s a good chance Japan would have declared war on you. Dad’s old .22 bolt action Nerf gun is not going to do you much good when that happens.

BEST BRAND OF AIR CONDITIONER IS MITSUBISHI HEAVY. AGAIN. EVERY YEAR.

MHI WINS EVERY YEAR

Except during WWII because Japan were not allowed to play. This was a time when men were men and women were women. Gender dysphoria was unheard of. Any dysphoria got you a smack around the head. To reject something given to you by god himself was a sure sign of retardedness. Just as blue hair or a sociology degree alerts those around you to being retarded, Anyone showing dysphoria with his own penis back in the 40’s was used as target practice or live bait. Not given plum government jobs and with power they could never earn through merit.

Seriously. Are they good or not? Yes. The reason I would buy MHI over any other brand of air conditioner is no more complicated than this: cold air comes out of these things far longer than any other cold air machine. When every other brand has given up, rusted out, wheezed, coughed, chugged and popped then died, the MHI is still pushing out cold air. Tomorrow: cold air. Next day: cold air. Every day: Cold air. The MHI does cold air better and longer than anyone else. He won’t cook your toast, tell the time, he won’t do anything other than cold air in summer, warm air in winter.

He knows his job. The question is – do you know yours?

Don’t take our word for it. Australia’s premier product review companies both Choice and Canstar voted Mitsubishi Air Con split systems the best. Not just this year, but last year, and the year before and the year before that. MHI has won the best brand of air conditioner Canstar award the last four years running, and the Choice award for the last five years. And then I stopped counting because that was 2022 and I forgot where we were up to. I had to wait until new years eve to ask someone what year it was so I didn’t look like a complete idiot. I remember them saying something like Where the f*** have you been?

It’s unclear whether MHI won the years after that. I assume they did Mitsubishi never invaded New Zealand or Kelvinator

WHAT MAKES MITSUBISHI HEAVY THE BEST BRAND OF AIR CONDITIONER?

WHY ARE MITSUBISHI AIRCON THE BEST?

Sheer volume of units manufactured and engineering skills unmatched around the world. It’s a little known fact Mitsubishi Heavy Industry don’t make any other home appliances. They don’t make batteries or clock radios. They don’t make toasters or microwaves. MHI certainly don’t make toys. This company designs and manufactures all Japans battle tanks, fighter aircraft, rocket engines, container ships, space stations and guided missiles. When you buy a Mitsubishi air conditioner – all that knowledge has gone into its development.

We get asked every year which brand of split system air conditioner is the best.

The answer is always Mitsubishi Heavy Industry.

One question that bugs me is – why do they make air conditioners at all? One would think it is beneath such great minds. My theory is : They have factories and offices around all round the world. That’s a lot of workspace to cool down. Thousands of split air conditioners were bought and replaced every year – which slowed production of their weapons. Then one day, Mr Oki Mura, who was on holiday from Bondi in Sydney said (In Japanese) ‘why don’t we just make our own split systems?’

The other ninjas all agreed and MHI Air Conditioning was born.

THE MOTIVATION IS QUESTIONED

One question that bugs me is – If these guys can make long range, radar guided, mach 7 missiles – why do they make air conditioners at all? One would think it is beneath such great minds. My theory is : They have factories and offices around all round the world. That’s a lot of workspace to cool down. When a split system breaks down and it’s too hot to wage war, that cheap ass air conditioner has effectively cost them billions in lost sales. Something had to be done. It was Mr Oki Mura, who was on holiday from Bondi in Sydney who said いっそのこと、この忌々しい代物を自分たちで作ってみないか？

‘why don’t we just make our own bloody split systems?’

The other ninjas all agreed and MHI Air Conditioning was born.

SECOND BEST BRAND OF AIR CON

On the off chance you can’t get hold of a Mitsubishi Heavy Split System Air Conditioner, or move into a home with one of these other brands already installed, please remain calm and carry on as normal. It should die of natural causes within a few years and you can replace it with a real air conditioner. Or a patriot missile system.

SECOND BEST BRAND OF AIRCON

Word on the street is that there are other companies who make air conditioners. I can confirm this rumor only because we have installed a bunch of these machines over the years. I refer to those as the dark years. Almost like the gap between Terminator 2 and 3. Once we made it out the other side I can make the following report about the state of the industry.

PANASONIC XKR SERIES

Panasonic are so close to Mitsubishi in terms of quality, features and and longevity that in 2017 and 18 we switched to them full time. MHI were having supply issues and customers needed quality air con. Nothing bad can be said about these split systems. In my opinion they look better than the MHI, and best out of all the wall mounted units.

The Panasonic unit runs just as quiet as the MHI – almost silent. The only two areas where these trail the MHI are price and running costs. These cost significantly more than the MHI, at least $100 on the smallest unit, and their running costs are 20- 30% higher – forever.

I don’t know how you roll but If I am comparing two identical cars where one cost less to buy and less to run, then the decision is made. I am still buying the red one.

DAIKIN CORA / ALIRA

Many installers swear by Daikin as the number one brand of air conditioner. To say they are wrong and I am right is really only conjecture, so we’ll give you the facts. Daikin claim to be the largest air conditioning company in the world* yet Midea make 67 million air conditioners a year.

If Daikin make more than that then where are they all? I didn’t even know there was a number higher than 67,000,000. But quality is far more important than quantity. Daikin are good, no doubt, They are just as reliable as the MHI, both have the same features, same warranty, same piping configuration. Mitsubishi has a further air throw, but really it comes back to money.

Everything being equal, the MHI cost less to buy and far less to run for the exact same amount of cooling power. What more can be said?

SAMSUNG AIRCON REVIEW

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC

Closest to the top three, Mitsubishi Electric are good, reliable split systems. What’s the difference between Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy? Mitsubishi Electric make appliances. Mitsubishi Heavy make the best air conditioners in the world and all Japans military equipment.

Why is there two Mitsubishi Companies? Back when real men carried swords and people got chopped up willy nilly, the two oldest Mitsubishi brothers could not get along. This deadly blood feud erupted when both boys were competing for the attention of some hot Japanese chick.

Why is there two Mitsubishi Companies? Back when real men carried swords and people got chopped up willy-nilly, the two oldest Mitsubishi brothers could not get along. This deadly blood feud erupted when both boys were competing for the attention of some hot Japanese chick. I wonder how many of the things we take for granted today, were only created to impress some hot chick? Men’s motivation to compete with each other has played a larger role in our civilizations progress than most people care to admit. Whatever theory you subscribe to: the enormous industrial output of both factories today – suggests that the rivalry has not diminished over time.

Mimi Mitsubishi the hot japanese chick the boys were fighting over

Meet Mimi Mitsubishi. Would you swing punches at your brother over Mimi? I’m willing to bet that punches were not the only thing getting thrown. But then I got to thinking: how many of the things we take for granted today, were only created to impress some hot chick like Mimi? Men’s motivation to compete with each other has played a larger role in our civilizations progress than most people care to admit. Whatever theory you subscribe to: the enormous industrial output of both factories today – suggests that the rivalry has not diminished over time.

MIDEA APOLLO

Since this page was written sometime in 2018, I have grown to like the Midea’s. They really are the best of the average brands. You’ll notice three of these brands are Japanese, one is Korean, one is Australian and this last one is Chinese. You can say what you like about Chinese manufacturing, but it’s come a long way since the 80’s and they are now a force to be reckoned with.

The Midea webpage boasts that this company makes 67 million air conditioners annually. What I want to know is – who gets the job of counting them all? Can a person count up to 67 million in one year? What happens if he loses count – does he have to start over or does he write down his figure every night before bed? I doubt I could count to 67 million without becoming suicidal. Don’t even get me started on who’s installing them. OMFG

FUJITSU – FORMERLY NUMBER 1

This time in 2013 Fujitsu would have been rival for the title of best air conditioners in the world, but one fateful decision relegated them runner up for at least a decade. It was about this time that one of their engineers decided they’d switch to R32 refrigerant gas before other split system manufacturers.

This created huge problems at our end because nobody could get R32 at that time. Any systems that needed maintenance or a regas had to sit idle while the suppliers ordered some in. A bigger clusterf**k I have yet to see. The engineer in question has retired in great shame to his ancestors.

Mark Taylor seems to reckon they’re good, and cricketers are experts in air conditioning

SAMSUNG AIRCON REVIEW

SAMSUNG

South Korean makers of mediocre everything, these split systems are pretty good. Did you know Koreans drink more alcohol on average than any other men on the planet? It’s an open secret that Samsung Korea make and deploy armed robot sentries along their border border to keep out Kim Jong Un’s ninja assassin squads.

When I learned of this we started buying more in the hope some hungover factory worker sent one by mistake. As of September 2026 no such gift has been delivered. But be vigilant. If your air conditioner starts hosing the room with .50 calibre rounds whenever a Korean walks in, call Samsung. You may have been sold a border robot by mistake. Before you do, just check that you don’t have it set on ‘INTRUDER’ mode. Because Samsung will send a technician out to tell you everything is fine, just wear body armour when in the lounge. You will be charged a call out fee for this advice.

SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER REVIEWS

TOSHIBA

Toshiba Japan have always made good electronics. Their latest split systems aren’t in Mitsubishi‘s league but they’ll keep your home cool without catching fire. Recently it was discovered that Toshiba had a spy in the Samsung factory. People in the west were generally unaware of the intense rivalry between the Japanese and Koreans until that day.

When Toshiba found out about the new Samsung robot border guards, they sent in a spy and set about stealing the technology. Which leaves us with only one question : who would win a robot sentry street battle between Toshiba and Samsung? I got $20 on Samsung because the Koreans always look so serious. But the Japs have Godzilla, so it could go either way.

KELVINATOR AIR CONDITIONER REVIEWS

ACTRON

You may only notice three stars on the Acton picture, but four in the title. We just found out Actron are made in Australia, so we awarded an extra star for being home grown. Having installed 500+ split systems every summer for the last seven years, you might think I would have come across one of these by now. But I haven’t. Just goes to show how many are being sold. Where are they all?

They’re allegedly made in NSW but I was there for a bit and didn’t see any. No great loss because only crap things come out of NSW. Their state of origin team for one, and Heath Ledger is another. Experts agree : Ledger has more chance of winning origin this year than the Blues.

HITACHI

Hitachi make really big earth shaking bulldozer machines and graders. With a head office in Japan, you can bet they’d back Toshiba when the robot war kicked off against Samsung. Hitachi’s high tech manufacturing plant would produce some of the biggest, baddest armed robot sentries on the planet. Experts agree that the 40mm revolving twin cannons on Hitachi drones would annihilate Samsung’s mechanical ninja squads with ease.

But how would a fire – breathing, steel plated Godzilla fare against Hitachi’s latest military hardware? When did Toshiba and Hitachi go to war? WTF? What does this have to do with air conditioning? Nothing. We just got a little carried away with our story. Nevermind.

WHICH BRAND OF AIRCON IS BEST

CARRIER

It’s a shame that Carrier only get two stars in this. Mr Carrier, of New York – was the first man to build a practical, working air conditioner. It was his design that led to all modern refrigeration. Another forgotten European who changed the world with his genius. Some people ask : Why did he invent air conditioning in New York? It would have been snowing outside his workshop most of the year.

There’s speculation Mr Carrier was wearing thermal underwear on the day he first demonstrated his refrigeration machine. I would like to think he had some underwear on – any will do. Unfortunately, the people who make his average brand of air conditioners now care little for his reputation. The unremarkable split systems you see here are the result.

KELVINATOR

These Kelvinator’s have given me nothing but trouble. If I had my way they’d get no stars and be banned from Australia. They don’t sit on the brackets right and look like they’re twisted, even before you start on the pipes. The refrigeration mechanic who taught me air conditioning swore he’d never install another Kelvinator – and that was ten years ago. Up until 2014 Robbo the Yobbo was the best refrigeration mechanic in all of Logan. One large ice break and a pack of Longbeach mild was his standard breakfast order for twenty years straight. This man taught me everything I know about refrigeration – until his mum went and won the lottery. True story – she actually did. Twenty something million.

Then the strangest thing happened. Robbo took his work boots off and hasn’t been able to find them since.

IS KELVINATOR A GOOD BRAND OF AIRCON

LG

Have you heard the phrase, ‘a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters would eventually write a Shakespeare’? LG manufacturing decided to implement this principle just under ten years ago.

Production at LG starts before dawn. A million random bolts and wires are dumped into the middle of a monkey cage. When the apes are released the troop spends an hour throwing steel nuts at each other, tying electrical wire around the trees and hooting like its Christmas time. When the sun goes down our primates head off to sleep, while a zookeeper sneaks in and drags out the days work. The random contraptions are then stored in this handy swamp until delivery time.

And you think I am joking. Buy one and see – but we’re not installing it. Not for all the money in Tasmania
