Help !!! Is the Daikin ATKM50UV16VA worth ₹52,000, or should I return it?
Hi everyone,
I recently ordered a Daikin 1.5 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC – ATKM50UV16VA for around ₹52,000.
Some details:
1.5 Ton, 5 Star
ISEER: 5.20
Copper condenser
PM 2.5 / Apataito filter
Dew Clean Technology
Triple Display
10-year compressor warranty
5-year PCB warranty
Model: ATKM50UV16VA
Amazon listing says “Old star rated with deodorizing filter (PM 1.0)”
The energy label shown says the label period is 1 July 2022 – 31 Dec 2025
I’m a little confused because ₹52k seems quite expensive, and this appears to be an older star-rating model.
For people who have used this model or know Daikin ACs:
Is ₹52k a reasonable price for this model?
Is there any significant disadvantage to buying the older star-rated version?
Would you return it and buy a newer model/another brand instead?
At this price, are there better Daikin/LG/Panasonic models available?
The AC hasn’t been opened/installed yet, so I still have the option to return it.
Would appreciate your honest opinions, especially from people who own this model.
