    Just searched on my post code and the local Good Guys didn't come up, only HN. Tried another postcode, same happened. Can anyone confirm that TGG definitely an eligible reseller?

  • plasmapuff on 01/04/2015 - 15:50

    TGG and HN showed up for me.

  • Edsanwong on 01/04/2015 - 15:54

    TGG Ebay store doesn't have the 3.5Kw? and HN is not part of 20% Ebay deal?

    I probably go ahead with Fujitsu. Any advise about quality and after service of Pana Vs Fujitsu?

    Thanks,

    Can ask Masters to beat by 10%?

      Pana, fuj and mitsi you cant go wrong. Daikin if you are cashed up and avoid kelvinator and Electrolux.

      • Edsanwong on 01/04/2015 - 16:16

        Daikin is way above my budget atm. People need to know not all Daikin are made in Japan anymore.

        Any experience with the after sales services for above mentioned brands?

        • captobvious on 01/04/2015 - 16:26

          Service depends on your location. Never had a pana fail Yet so.thats a good sign. Fingers crossed. Have some old fujitsus from 10 years still going strong but the new fujs are made in China and the service provider swaps out the boards on these if they fail under warranty, cant fault it otherwise. The mitsi heavy industries aircons are really good too. KelvinatorS are cheap but fail and the service is very poor

        • FarQ on 01/04/2015 - 16:43

          @btdroppedbox: I've had a Pana fail twice within 18 months with the same error in the compressor. Luckily it was within warranty then. Now its out of warranty, so fingers crossed. Got 2 Fuji's which are still going strong..

        • Keeno on 01/04/2015 - 23:29

          I recently had, 3 x new model fujitsu fail after 1 year, it literally took me about 30 phone calls and all of summer to get fujitsu to honour their warranty. They tried a number of excuses not to honour their warranty plus circular call waiting etc. I would say panasonic / mitsubishi > fujitsu based on my experience.

        • peteru on 02/04/2015 - 14:31

          Can't speak about the others, but Daikin service is crap. In particular Jaicrest in Willoughby are a bunch of unreliable cowboys.

    • MrMaestro on 01/04/2015 - 17:04

      I don't have first-hand experience with Panasonics but I bought a couple of split systems a few months ago and after doing some research I went with Mitsubishi Electric. I ruled out Panasonic due to a few people reporting high idle power consumption.

    • dexx on 01/04/2015 - 18:57

      Would be interesting to see if Masters will beat the Ebay TGG $637 price by 10%

    • prolo on 01/04/2015 - 23:17

      I was in the same boat. Had a slight preference for Pana based on installer's recommendation, but needed 2x 3.5kW units (as well as 1x 2.5kW unit). Couldn't find an ebay seller eligible for the CTECH20 code for the larger Pana units, so after talking to the installer, and wanting to maintain the same brand (for aesthetics and remote control uniformity) went with the Fuji units. Keen pricing. Thanks OzB. Now I have to pick them up. How many of these units can you fit in the back of a station wagon? I guess I'll soon find out.

  • captobvious on 01/04/2015 - 16:11

    Tempted. Pretty well priced

  • Titan84 on 01/04/2015 - 17:05

    Are you sure Panasonic will honour the deal if you purchase through Ebay and now the physical store? I assume they will require a copy of the invoice from the actual store and not the Ebay/PayPal one.

    • captobvious on 01/04/2015 - 17:12

      The last tgg ebay sale the tgg invoice was given to me with the device I bought Which was a dyson vacuum for warranty purposes

      100% sure it'll work. When you buy from TGG eBay store, you get an offical TGG invoice with the full amount paid (20% eBay discount NOT listed on invoice).

    I nabbed two Fujitsu 2.5kw for $433ea from TGG during the last %20 Ebay sale.. using various tricks

    • knackers on 02/04/2015 - 14:29

      oh and $500 install.. best deal ever

  • gummibear on 01/04/2015 - 18:00

    Peaksmart rebate also for energex users in Southeast QLD. If you are happy to sign up to the peaksmart program

    Less than 4kW = $150
    4kW but less than 10kW = $250
    10kW or more = $500

    • prolo on 01/04/2015 - 23:23

      Are you signed up? Do you notice it on really hot (eg >30 degree) days? Would be interested but also considering hooking up a solar system in the future so wouldn't want to cripple the units for that purpose…

      • killergreely on 02/04/2015 - 09:23

        On quite a number of occasions, through the summer just past, we've seen the aircon unit indicate that Peaksmart was active. It didn't make any noticeable difference to the operation of the unit, nor to the temperature of the rooms.

  • pork chop on 01/04/2015 - 18:10

    Has anyone installed a split aircon on the inner plaster wall boz the wall facing out has a window and there's not enough space to fit one on either side of the window. I hope this makes sense :).

    • knackers on 01/04/2015 - 19:15

      You mean mounted to an internal wall? if so, yes

      I have it mounted to an internal wall, about 50mm from the external wall (to conceal pipes)

      • pork chop on 01/04/2015 - 21:13

        Thx knacker. Thats exactly what I meant - internal wall. Cheers.

  • FarQ on 01/04/2015 - 18:11

    Decided to go with the Fujitsu 2.5kw instead..$32 more after 20% discount & $150 prepaid visa card, Since it has a slightly smalled indoor unit and my other fuji is quieter than the pana.

    • noshopping on 02/04/2015 - 01:09

      • FarQ on 03/04/2015 - 20:34

        Got a 7kw fuji & a 2.5kw one. 7kw is 8years old and the 2.5kw is 6years old. Had not had any issues with the fujis. The 3.5kw pana on the other hand had an issue at 3.5years and then at 4.5years with the same fault. At the end of the day, I have more confidence in the fuji's based on my experience.

  • dexx on 01/04/2015 - 18:23

    When ordering from the Ebay store, can you specify pickup rather than post?

    • FarQ on 01/04/2015 - 18:24

      Yes, just pick a store you would like to pickup from.

  • Juice08 on 01/04/2015 - 18:28

    How much would 1/2 a star energy rating save you? Fujitsu is 5 star for their 2.5kW (as compared to the Panasonic 4.5 star). Or is it just a gimmick?

    • PVA on 01/04/2015 - 18:45

      you wouldn't notice.

      you can check here, it shows everything along with calculator - http://reg.energyrating.gov.au/comparator/product_types/64/s…

      • Juice08 on 02/04/2015 - 10:17

        of course depending on your use - but their default hours calculate a saving of about $7 a year with running costs with the Fujitsu which would increase as electricity costs increase. so if it lasts more than 5 years then i'm cashin' in! lol.

  • Titan84 on 01/04/2015 - 19:13

    How did OP get free postage? Or was this a click and collect arrangement.

    • ausginnygin on 01/04/2015 - 20:26

    A few reasons why I decided on Panasonic over all the other brands… Prior to shutting down, Panasonic's will run for a few minutes to dry out the internal parts to prevent mold from building up. Mold can be extremely harmful to ones health, that and I heard Panasonic circuits are sealed while some others don't bother. Apparently geckos, ants and other little critters like the warmth during winter and eat/live near the circuit = fried = replacement cost $$$. nanoe-G air purifier is also a bonus for those who suffer asthma, prone to allergies, etc. My allergies have completely gone (I turn on the air purifier alone for a couple of hours a day — barely any energy consumption.) A good air purifier alone cost $300. I have the 3.5kw/4.9kw split and it is DEAD quit, cannot hear the outside unit at all! One note of warning.. I live within 10km of the sea and my 7yr old Panasonic outside box unit UNDER my alfresco shows some signs of rust.. Apparently with all metals you need to give it a good hose spray once a year to prevent salt building up and eating the metals. The unit I have mounted outside in the rain have no rust at all… I'm guessing the rain washes the salt off the external units.

  • Huntz on 02/04/2015 - 01:02

    I purchased via TGG on 30th Mar….do I cancel and reorder as it needs tax invoices after 1st April?

    [Purchase receipt / tax invoice dated between 1/4/15 - 31/7/15 and shows $0 balance ]

  • outlander on 02/04/2015 - 01:15

    Limit 2 claims per household. <- Bit of a bummer

    • prolo on 02/04/2015 - 01:39

      Fuji's limit is 5 units.

      • eye on 08/04/2015 - 21:51

        Where did you find this 5 units limit? Couldn't find it anywhere including terms and conditions. I bought 6 during the weekend…

    • JimB on 02/04/2015 - 10:48

      Thanks!

      I didn't read this, I bought 3 units. 2 small ones and 1 large one.

      I'll cancel one of the orders and get someone else to buy it for me.

      • outlander on 02/04/2015 - 11:06

        I did the same :P Hoping I can get separate receipts for them anyway

        • JimB on 02/04/2015 - 12:05
          +1

          Separate receipts don't matter as Panasonic only allow 2 per house, person or email. I split mine anyway as the 20% off was more than $500 off in total.

          I ended up creating a 2nd ebay & paypal account in my wife's name (also different address) because I used CTECH20 too many times! (bought 3 coffee machines as gifts).

          Bought the 7kw machine under my wife's ebay account. Then I had to use a different credit card as my AMEX card is linked to my 1st paypal account.. lol.. The things we do for $200.

          Then requested to cancel my original order.

          But thank you for pointing it out, it was in very small fine print. I purchased 3 Fujitsu splits in the past, they processed it without hassles, Panasonic has always been stricter (in the past Pana use to only credit your electricity bill but I think it cost them to much to administer the cashback).

          Come on Panasonic, limit of 2? you want us to buy your machines or not!

          I use to think OzBargain saved me money, but now I'm not so sure :P

        • outlander on 02/04/2015 - 13:39

          I just came back from Brighton GG. Trying to get them to split receipts was like pulling teeth. They wanted to cancel order and resubmit it to fit in with the nature of their filing system, but of course doing so is going to reverse the ebay, so no go.
          They didn't bother to bring the units over either, so I had to go to the despot centre in moorabbin to collect it. Even the smallest unit the 2.5kw is pretty big. The head unit is 36x97x26cm and the condensor is 88high x 96Long x 43cm deep
          Still managed to squeeze 2 units into a corolla hatch though

          @outlander:
          Same. Ordered for pickup from Brighton. Phone call told to collect from warehouse. Sort of defeats the purpose of choosing a pickup store.

    As an added bonus, you may be able to claim VEECs off these units, in some cases worth an extra $120.

    Not me though, as my suburb is disqualified for having piped gas.

  • digitale on 02/04/2015 - 01:35

    According to the Energy Rating website (energyrating.gov.au), these Panasonic models are "no longer manufactured in or imported into Australia/New Zealand"

  • Edsanwong on 02/04/2015 - 20:18

    What happen if I bought slighly too big, eg instead of 2.5kw I bought 3.5kw for 4.5mx4.5m bedroom?

    • IamEzza on 03/04/2015 - 02:03

      Slightly too big is fine.
      It's actually a benefit on the odd days when you have either extreme heat or cold because it doesn't need to work as hard as a smaller unit.

  • Rustysoul on 02/04/2015 - 23:21

    Got one plus 2% from cashrewards!! THX!

  • donbot on 02/04/2015 - 23:41

    Thanks OP - this tipped me over the edge to buy one for the master bedroom ready for next summer.

    $537.60 after the $100 cash back - can't complain with that.

      You snooze you lose.

      Not as cheap, but I've ordered from appliancecentral.com.au and they have good prices. However obviously they aren't get anywhere near this deal as eBay/Paypal is subsidising it.

      • scottishdave on 15/04/2015 - 10:02

        Masters also carry Panasonic a/c so you can get a price match there too.
