Updated my Moto G (1st Gen) yesterday to Android 5.1. This OTA is around 200 mb in size. Went smoothly.

If you live in India, you cannot have them anymore. Sharp India had stopped importing these units after local manufacturing of their ACs. AH-XP18MV's had exemplary product quality & performance to boot and I am lucky to own two of them.

Today I browsed the Sharp India website (Sharp India) and found it to be a complete mess. Even messier than it was some 2.5 years back when I bought their inverter ACs. Most of the data seems wrong and I am not certain they update the site for newer models and even the images shown against the...

Received the 167mb, KitKat 4.4.4 update for Moto G last night at around 11.pm. Downloaded via Wifi with 5 mins, superfast download. Took another 10 mins to complete the update installation. Initial impressions: 1) Phone feels a bit faster & smoother. 2) Video capture now has pause button...

INR 50K is the MRP of AH-XP18MV. As a consumer you have the right to bargain (which you must) with the dealer and have them at around INR 44 ~ 45K. The AH-XP18MV also comes with free installation kit. Read my review on the first post of this thread to know what was included in it. But as you...

I too didn't knew much about the existence of this brand in AC segment before I bought my Sharp Inverter ACs way back in 2012. Only when I did an extensive market/ technology research did I stumble upon this brand and found them to be the best VFM air conditioners all around in India. Back then...

Recently one fine Saturday I thought of cleaning one of own AH-XP18MV’s ODU unit. The ODU unit pictured below is situated on my verandah, so it was easy. Though the primary reason was to clean the ODU internals, I was quite excited to have a sneak peek inside it and discover something yet...

Well recently I have gone through quite a many shots of AH-XP18PMT (Made in India) which one of the FMs in another forum had for INR 45K with installation & stabilizer. Considering it takes INR 2K for installation and ODU brackets and another INR 2K for a good stabilizer, I find the prices for...

Had to share this. Recently there was an inauguration of a small air conditioning shop in one of my friend’s locality. He insisted me to join him as he was out to buy a 1.5 Ton Inverter air conditioner. He was settled to go with my 1.5 Ton Sharp Inverter air conditioners after experiencing...

In Kolkata, normally we do not use any stabilizer with air conditioners. Power is quite stable.

If you are planning to use for long hours, inverter acs are what you should be looking for. Unfortunately in India, they are available only in splits.

I just now realized, there is no like button on this forum. Your Whirlpool and Hitachi may have long years ahead to cater your service, but the Kenstar may need a sooner replacement. :-)

INR 55K each for 1.5 Ton non-Inverters!!!!! For that money I could have 2 Ton Inverters which simply put will blow these 1.5 Tonners out of the window in terms of cooling performance. Which make and model? If you don't mind of-course. :-)

Recently I have observed a lot of hotly debated threads in different forums relating to the performance of: 1) The newly used all-aluminum micro-channel (canalicular tubed) condensers 2) The older round copper coil/tube with aluminum plate fin (bi-metal) RTPF condensers By nature copper is a...

Came upon two of the funniest air conditioner ads ever. Sure, humor is subjective—but some advertising over the years has been undeniably hilarious. These are made by Argentinean Electronics manufacturer BGH for their air conditioners. Check them out.:-) BGH - Dads in Briefs Campaign...
