Cheap Split System for the chilling winter. Pity the installation can cost a fair bit.

The following 2 redemptions bring the price from $738 to $538. Their previous price on this unit was $797.

  1. Claim $100 cash back at http://promotion.panasonic.com.au/aircongifts/
  2. For orders over $700 online at The Good Guys, you'll receive $100 instore credits. URL: http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/eofy-store-credit.

Harvey Norman sells it for $849 but they also give BONUS $100 EFTPOS cash card via redemption. Therefore, If you can get Harvey Norman to price match it then EFTPOS card might be better.

    Store name in title please

  • dexx on 23/06/2015 - 17:56

    The $100 instore credits for orders over $700; does that apply to their Ebay store as well?

  • [Deactivated] on 23/06/2015 - 17:58

    or even cheaper with https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/199852 if they sell it on ebay

    • captobvious on 23/06/2015 - 18:04

      Oh i hope so.
      would that mean $738 - $60 (20% off $300) = $678 - $100 (cashback) = 578 - $100 store credit = $478
      that would be a bargain!

        Potentially $500ish with 20% off and redemption

        Don't think you get store credit from ebay buy.

        Is there a 20% off voucher for the Goodguys E-Bay somewhere? All good, I see it :)

    These have a high standby consumption (40W) and one of the two we bought seems to have problems with the thermostat. Adjust the temperature up, but the temperature keeps going down. Not all the time, but at least 40% of the time.

    Both units aren't at all good at controlling humidity compared to our Mitsubishi Electric which is over ten years old.

    I wish I had bought at least one of the Samsungs with wifi control and supposedly better humidity control.

    • captobvious on 23/06/2015 - 19:33

      Its pretty hard to find a replacement for a trusty 10 year old mitsubishi or fujitsu.

      • Edsanwong on 23/06/2015 - 20:23

        Mitsubishi has two branches now for aircon. Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which one is better?

      • whats up skip on 23/06/2015 - 21:32

        It isn't an inverter, so nasty on the power bills or even just the load it puts on the PV solar system. It seems to have two modes: 3.6kW or next to nothing. At least the modern inverters dramatically reduce their power demand as they bring the temperature under control.

    I used to love Panasonic aircons but we've had issues with our latest cs/cue9pkr, with the ion thingy making lots of noise and even after that part got replaced.

    Also it's makes a LOT of creaking in heating mode, even waking up a 5 year old which is usually quite impossible.

    Anyway my advice is to maybe try another brand, these don't seem to be the quality they used to be.

      Good to know I am not the only one that feels these units are below what would be expected from this brand.

  • Bellpop on 23/06/2015 - 19:47

    Just got a 2.5kw Fujitsu installed in a bedroom and it cost $1890 installed. Had to move quickly since we have a baby, but really feeling ripped off now…

    If thats a problem, see http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=refrigeratio…
    Detailed instructions here: http://industrialair.com.au/files/Panasonic/Secure/RAC/E7_28…
    Add a couple of tools from Bunnings (pipe flare and cutter), an old piece of copper pipe to practice on, and a few drinks for your mate who is a bit handy with mechanical stuff.
    Good luck :-)

      Are you crazy???

      Doing this yourself is illegal, dangerous and potentially every expensive. A tiny crack in the pipe and the refrigerant will leak. These refrigerants are normally toxic and cost a fortune to replace.

        Like driving at 62 in a 60 zone? Getting an installer is expensive, not just potentially.

        A tiny crack in the pipe and the refrigerant will leak.

        How is that going to happen? You mean a bad join? Either way, anyone who is not an idiot will properly pressure-test the assembly before releasing the refrigerant.

        These refrigerants are normally toxic

        "This substance is not classified as dangerous" (certainly not from a small leak)

        cost a fortune to replace.

        No, thats the old ozone-depleting R22 that has been phased out. Not applicable to new systems such as the above. A kilo of r410a is cheap compared to install costs.

          If you don't want to have insurance claim issues, you should get a certified A Grade electrician.

        • bargaino on 24/06/2015 - 10:34

          @skinny:
          I don't know where you find an A-grade in perth. Probably working on commercial systems and not trivial jobs like changing lightbulbs or putting new sockets in.
          The ones I've used are definitely B-grade or lower.
          But yes, getting the outside socket put in is a separate job to the air-con install.

          Have you ever done it manic? Or are you just posturing?

        • bargaino on 24/06/2015 - 19:03

          @outlander:
          I've done a bit of plumbing, but not aircon. You would want a bit of handyman experience first. Just putting the idea out there.
          Am tempted when I next build, after reading of others doing it. Its a lot easier now than before the internet.
          Its not like you need an engineering degree, just some very basic skills, and a willingness to follow instructions.
          I realise that rules out 3/4 of the population.

        • outlander on 24/06/2015 - 20:30

          @manic:
          I'm in the same position, except I already have the units. I think its possible for a layman to do, and have it work alright for a few years, but I'd be wary of small mistakes which could compromise the efficiency and reliability of the unit. Just imagine, you buy an ultra efficient unit, but then install it badly and it only ever runs at half effiency. Hard to test too, so you don't know if you have or haven't done it right.
          I went down to the local tafe that teaches refrigeration and checked out the library. It helps a bit, but its almost entirely theory, with little to know practical instructions. I can tell you that technically r410a uses a slightly thicker copper pipe and a double flared end which requires a special tool, but these units may be so small that practically its not going to be a concern here.

        • skinny on 25/06/2015 - 12:05

          @manic: You will never find unless you google for one! There are plenty in Perth waiting for your job! In most cases the retailer where you buy can provide you a list or you can start here (no affiliations) https://www.servicecentral.com.au

      • AMLagonda on 24/06/2015 - 00:45

        Just had a electrician/installer guy install my Fujitsu and a week later all the gas leaked out…. Still waiting for him to fix it and he blamed the crappy Fujitsu pipe connectors (yes its a terrible design).
        We nearly had consumer affairs on to him as we didn't think he would fix it, but any way I learned one thing, get a proper Refrigeration mechanic to install your air con as these electricians cant regas them as they cant get the gas on their licence. He has to pay someone to fix the pipes and regas(R30) it.

  • outlander on 24/06/2015 - 00:01

    Would be better if you had something else to buy to push it over the $900 limit. Another $162 yields an extra $100 of store credit

  • outlander on 24/06/2015 - 18:22

    For those looking to buy this unit I have on still in the box if you need any info. What I can tell you about the gift card process though is
    *Limit of 2 claims per household, name, and email address
    *Claim must be received within 21 days. This means you only have 2 weeks after purchase, not pickup, to collect it
    *Gift card is posted to address after about a month. It needs the name, email and serial number to activate it.
    *EFTPOS card can not be used to draw cash.

  • outlander on 26/06/2015 - 10:30

    Damn. This was $738 on ebay 2 days ago, but they've pulled the listing. Too bad, after discount it would have been $499
