Looking to buy 3 2.5kw air conditioners, 1 for each bedroom. Preferably quiet and efficient air conditioners. I came across the Panasonic CS/CU-Z9RKR. It fits the criteria but I cannot find any deals. can you please recommend me a air conditioner + any deals also any recommend installers for Sydney?

According to static ice, Appliance Central has it for $789 & the Good Guys stock it for $799. If you are not in a hurry, Panasonic are releasing the Aero range. So you should see retailers clearing stock hopefully cheaper or buy the newer model.

Panasonic is great. Drop into a jb hiding and good guys and just ask for their best price and see what they say.

Says $799 and another 10% off again
But go in store seeing you are buying three and deal.
800 X 3 = $2400 for the units
500 to 1000 X 3 = $1500 to $3000 for installation
The general rule is that once you're looking at buying 3 or more units, consider ducted air conditioning.
Ducted AC units start from only $5000 installed and are quieter, look nicer, are more powerful, less maintenance, last much longer, more rooms for the same price, more energy efficient, cheaper to run, etc.
I'm kinda in similar boat as OP… looking for 2.5kw reverse cycle system for my bedroom. In the past when I wasn't actively looking, I've seen people vouch for MHI & Fujitsu systems. But now when I'm researching, Panasonic seems winner!!
So, now bit confused!!!
Anyone can please shed some light on my dilemma - MHI, Fujitsu or Panasonic?!
Just got a Panasonic CSCU-Z25TKR from AppliancesOnline price match for $837 (inc weekend delivery). According to Canstar, Panasonic's been killing it for the past few years.
I would not recommend CS/CU-Z9RKR for bedroom use based on my own experience, I have found it to be the noisiest aircon that I have used. The plastic used seems to expand/contract too much causing very loud cracking sound on start up. and even the motors used to turn the blades (directs the air horizontal/vertical) are noisy. The aircon. sits approx. 2.5 meters away.
The aftersales support (easy to deal with) wasn't able to fix all the issues , but did fix my major complaint that the aircon would produce loud cracking sound in the middle of night. (now it only does it on start up)
Mits heavy industries, look no further.
