Other Features

A thing to note is that the 5star AC model no RS-Q19YNZE has just 4600w cooling capacity which makes it more of a 1.4ton AC rather than 1.5ton AC while the 4 star Ac model no RS-Q19ENYE1 has 5000w while the price difference is mere ₹4000 in both currently. Here if you have a big room or top floor room then 4star model is recommended while for any small room or near ground floor room better buy 5star ac.

Our Verdict: Buy 4 star and run it at 80% mode to achieve same cooling efficiency as 5 star AC.
