In the creation of the rating of air conditioners in terms of reliability, not only specialists from repair shops, but also users of social networks took part. Indicators such as suitability for repair, availability of components, and value for money were not taken into account. Therefore, the rating should be considered only as additional information when choosing a model for home or office.
About the information collection system
The 2015 air conditioner reliability rating does not include OEM air conditioners (their quality and reliability are difficult to predict), as well as industrial and semi-industrial models. The durability of OEM brands depends on which particular plant fulfilled the order, on a specific model. Among them there can be both very reliable and high-quality ones, as well as assembled "in the garage".
This is because different batches of the same brand can be assembled under different conditions. Therefore, it makes no sense to include them in the rating.
