Voltas Vertis Plus 1.5 Ton WAC 2010 Model

Hi

 

After market research and user reviews i finally bought a voltas vertis plus 1.5 Ton WAC 2010 model from a dealer near my home.

 

I trusted Tata product and spent around 20K in total for the deal with stablizer.

After installation i turned ac on and it was making too much noise.

I called the shop and told him my problem and he willingly replaced my ac with a new one.

 

As soon as i got new one installed i turned it on and this time the fan was hitting something inside and was making much more noise than the previous one.

 

This time i again gave a call to the dealer and he again gave me option to replace the unit.

 

I again got it replaced and this time i am very happy with the product, its even so sillent that i can hear a pin drop ( i dont know why its so silent).

Cooling is excellent, remote is good and overall performance it better than the satisfactory.

 

I believe voltas is poor at quality check.

Out of 3 ac that i installed in my home only 1 is working as expected. why not tata make sure that they check every piece for quality ?

If they do check every piece then why did i get 2 noisy out of 3 ?

 

 

My Experience with Samsung , LG, and voltas air conditioner

Hi

 

I have samsung and LG window air conditioner at my home.

LG is 3 years old and samsung is 1 year old.

 

Recently LG got gas leak as well as PCB problem and i got it fixed for Rs 3000.

Samsung is only 1 year old and running smooth...who knows what colors its gonna show in future.

 

anyways i am planning to buy a new ac and i have shortlisted voltas vertis plus 1.5T and samsung 1.5T.

 

Yesterday my neighbour bought a voltas vertis plus 1.5T, Its air swing blades vibrate alot and alos make unbearable noise.

Installation guy told them that another engineer will visit the site and rectify the problem.

 

I dont know if it has been fixed or not.

 

Regarding cooling...i feel no difference comparison to LG or Samsung...its cooling capacity is more than samsung and LG but its not much significant and i feel cooling is same (Voltas may take 2-3 min less to cool the room).

 

If voltas engineer doesnot rectify my neighbor's problem then i would go for a samsung.

TV Tuner Internal vs External

Hi

• Internal TV Tuner cards fit inside the cabinet external don't require to be installed inside the cabinet.
• You Can record video using internal card but not in external.
• I think Internal cards are cheaper than external.
• Internal TV Tuner work when the system is on and external does not require you to turn the PC on (Saves electricity bill).

How to reduce noice from computer fan ?

If you are using fan which is few years old then it might be making some noise.

One of the best way to solve the issue is to oil the fan.

 

Just remove the logo label and the covering cap and then use 1 drop of motor oil to reduce noise.

 

I'll try to put a video soon which shows how to do it.
