Haier has inverter acs, they call theirs genpal.
comparing the running current, haier appears to trump the LG, though the haier is more expensive as well.
will buy a haierthermocccool inverter ac when next am buying, lemme compare with the LG

and LG Kit is sold for 5k in their office..and about 3k elsewhere, meanwhile other acs like haier thermocool come complete with kit!!
meanwhile my LG deep freezer of barely 1yr stopped chilling, am suspecting gas leakage, seems am done with LG compressor based appliances, not just working out well for me, haierthermoccol is my ideal brand, and their compressor based appliances i have, have given me almost trouble free service
I'm not sure Thermocool makes inverter ACs.
I'm more of a Samsung person, but they don't make these highly energy efficient models like the LG Gencool. Which is the only reason I even looked at LG in the first place but reviews on thier Gencool models seem to be good thus far

So i went to LG to complain about the high consumption of my 1hp inverter ac..700w on gen mode and 1500w on normal mode.
They promised to send a technician to come check it out later.
On my way out....saw this sticker..and was wondering if my complaint was even in order grin...

But some people here said theirs consume 400w on gen mode..??.
Am contemplating buying a 2nd unit..but thinking of haier thermoccool now..would appreciate feedback from folks using the inverter ac
Did you have it installed by thier Installers ?
Contemplating using a third party instead of waiting for thiers

I want to buy the Acura MDX 2007 edition from Canada. Any views as to the pros and cons of this suv? Plus what is your overall view about the car in terms of reliability, fuel economy, maintenance-ease of repair and availability of mechanics.

Many thanks.
Great choice, very solid ride.
Avoid Canadian stock...the MDX is not a car you want to buy with rust

When you exclude the volume covering your rear windshield you will appreciate how much cargo space you've lost.
Lol, its kinda funny you're arguing with me about useful cargo space in my own car, a car I use everyday.
Its an MDX bro not a beetle. Lol, 1.5 cu ft is a drop in a bucket. And the subwoofer isn't a permanent fixture. I have my cables made into a harness. In the event that I one day have to utilize every sq mm of space in the trunk, it'll take all of 2 seconds to disconnect the harness and remove or relocate the sub.

Impressive. This must be a really good head unit because it will take something extra ordinary for me to give up my ELS audio. Reason I have not bothered changing my head unit. Sucks that it doesn't have Bluetooth streaming but there's an easy walk around for that.
Stock units are never comparable to high end aftermarket options. You never know what you're missing until you experience more.
And I'm not talking about these Android DVD/Navi units sold up and down....yes they bring some added functionality, but the sound quality is subpar in comparison to top brands.

What You See is The Kenwood Excelon DDX9904s

-Android Auto & Apple Car Play
-Capacitive touch screen ( as opposed to resistive touch screens found on most radios)
-Supports High Res Audio playback ( FLAC etc)
-Major video formats - avi, mp4, mkv
-USB support is awesome , NTFS, FAT32, etc ....u can literally connect a 500GB hard drive and enjoy away
- not to mention the most important....sound quality

Too many great features

Nice upgrade. But did u lose sub woofer and steering control after this upgrade
There's a cheap aftermarket steering wheel control module if you want to retain SWC , never had much use for steering controls, so i didn't bother.

upgraded to a powered enclosure type Sub.

Car TalkRe: Acura Mxd 08 Or Lexus Rx330? by bizzle2:
Oh, By the way OP If you do decide to buy the MDX I advice you to take ALOT of time and Do alot of careful searching.
The MDX is not as common as the Rxs in Naija, so your search options and pretty limited. Especially if you have high standards.
It took 4hrs in Cotonu, Three trips to Berger, and countless weeks scouring the internet with over 6 VIN history reports from computerglobal for me to find one that "kinda" met my standard.

-Avoid Canadian stock if you can ( the MDX is not the kinda Car you want to buy with rust problems)

-Avoid the Sports Package (if you can) the Active Damping System is expensive to keep stock


Speaking of the MDX's sexy Interior Styling....

Sneak Preview of Before and After Photos of My 100% D-I-Y Audio Upgrade, completed sometime in January.
speakers, head unit, subwoofer all upgraded.
One week of hard work and plenty $$.
hopefully I'll find time soon to create a thread with process pictures and setup details.

Car TalkRe: Acura Mxd 08 Or Lexus Rx330? by bizzle2: 2:26am On Feb 13, 2019
At OP you need first of all identify what matters the most to you in a car, and the purpose it intends to serve and make your choice along those lines
If you're about performance, agressive styling, and road presence. The MDX kills it, while giving you a luxurious and comfortable ride.

Bros go for the Rx330. Second hand value is better than Acura. Everything about the Lexus is better than the Acura. I'm an engineer and I have 22 years experience
I read some posts and I literally just SMH.
Everything Like? ? ? ? ?
I'd like to read some very objective, test and research based comparison, not the usual blind sentimental preference.

For starters, the Rx330 and the 2nd Gen MDX are not in the same Catergory AT ALLLLL!!!!. .
Now... comparing the Rx350 and 2nd Gen MDX, tests and reviews have shown that In...

Acceleration - MDX wins
Engine Power- MDX wins
Handling- MDX wins
Luxury/Comfort- MDX wins
Safety ratings - MDX wins
Traction Control Design - MDX wins

So, Asides from better fuel consumption (which is to be expected as the MDX has a bigger, more powerful engine and greater curb weight) and cheaper maintence ( MDX is a premium car, not for
the thrifty tho is cheaper to maintain than the rx350 which is in its class)
Please tell me with 22 yrs experience how the RX330 betters the 2nd Gen MDX.

Car TalkRe: Premium Fuel Required Cars. by bizzle2: 5:22pm On Jan 12, 2019
If you have a high compression engine and you're in the market for a cost effective fuel additive.... Find this.

Threw a bottle of this into a 60 litre tank of fuel, and ...OMG!!!, the beast was awoken.

Idles quieter,
accelerates faster
Consumes less

After alot of research this came up as one of the "best value" options among the few octance boosters scientifically "proven" to increase octane rating (by up to 3 in this case). Options like the Torco accelerator can increase the octane rating by up to 5 numbers, but those cost an arm and a leg


Even though this contains MMT it is still advertised as safe for injectors, cat converters etc. Maybe there are compounds that counter or prevent the Magnesium deposits ?

Interesting topic. But it is a great problem for us all. Dangote has no solution to our problems because by the time he decides to operate his refinery, the fuel will be obsolete. Currently Toyota cars are euro 6, same thing with Peugeot. In 2021, Dangote fuel is Euro 5, which will not be suitable for the current cars and so the chase continues with premium fuel for our cars. We have been waiting for a respite from his refinery but he has nothing to offer.
As for octane booster, it is the best solution. Amg Benz cars uses octane booster in the US because the minimum number is 93 and not 91 for other Benz cars. If the US has premium fuel and they still produce octane booster, then what now happens to us that have regular unleaded and refused to use the booster. I have been using the booster since 2007 first in my e Class and later in my Range Rover Sport. The first time was Toulene and I saw the difference instantly but there are other additives to add and the measurements, so I started using the real deal. There are some with mmt which is not so good but when you finally get the right one, to travel is like going to the next street. My fuel consumption from Lagos to Akure Nnpc was 14 litres for 100k In a v8 Range Rover Sport no matter the speed. Most Range Rovers are recommended and some are required. It depends on the market that the car is coming from. Octane booster will not clog your cat or the injectors. It is not what anyone will tell you that they will program. The sensor will send signals to the pcm that the car is using premium fuel and the pcm will raise the bar for the injectors to burn fuel evenly and the combustion will be smooth. Ditto when the car uses regular fuel, the sensor will cry out to the pcm that this nigga want to scatter his car and the pcm will reduce the performance of the car and increase the fuel consumption. Mercedes, BMW, Vw, Porsche and Audi are not finding it funny driven in Nigeria. The Benz will be crying and smiling. Scan a Benz without the check engine light and you will read a lot of cylinder misfires with damage to the cat. Octane booster is available for sale. I sell the best in town.
This should have ended with I sell XYZ octane booster for X price.
And yes i agree with your position, not all octane boosters are harmful to injectors and Cat converters. Torco F500010TE accelerator is one, pricey but one of the best

Lucky not to have gotten a flat at a bad spot. Happened to me once. Did 160km/hr, and I soon as I got off the highway, my rear left tire went flat. Unluckily for me, my spare was flat too (went flat Saturday night, this happened Sunday night). Had to drive home about 2 miles with a flat tire by midnight. Tire was in shambles by the time I got home, wheel was bent.

Never again. angry
Very lucky, this was at almost 1 am

08 MDX. With octane booster added, I easily rev up to 5500 rpm. Mpg also bumped up to 18.9 mpg. Acceleration is superb. But without the octane booster, I can't even get up to 3k rpm and mpg heads south.
What brand of octane booster do you use?
Ever experiment with Toluene? (paint thinner)

Thanks!

And you don't get any pinging. Interesting. Your J37A1 engine has a compression ratio of 11.2, which is one of the highest I've seen for a mainstream car. How's your throttle response? And gas mileage? Have you ever filled up at a particular station and felt that your car was a bit abnormal when driving?

Another interesting case is the 2GR-FSE on the IS350. Compression ratio of 11.8, and people still drive it here.

I'm just curious, btw. I'm looking into Nigerian fuel and possible effects on performance engines.
Gas mileage is horrible, I once got a reading of 11mpg after an intensive drive.
Throttle response is still great.
Its still a new car though, and I remember I did use an injector cleaner on the third gas purchase at an NNPC station ( the attendant kept marketing the thing, finally bought it)

Wind noise from slightly open door seals.
Is the car an MDX 2nd gen?/

Does it make a difference if the fuel is bought anywhere else other than nnpc cos the last two fills have been nnpc and the pinging was very evident.
The noise is not an aerodynamic one. It sounds like scraping metal ... the type of noise brake pads could make in contact the rotors

Yes, 2nd Gen.

The quality of product definitely matters, many of these shylock gas stations sell heavily adulterated fuel. I just try to be very careful where i buy products from (NNPC or otherwise) . Not all NNPC stations are run by NNPC or have a honest management for that matter. So NNPC sign post no be guarantee.

Does your second gen MDX not ping (rattling sound coming from engine) when you try to rev above 3k rpm or stump on the accelerator?
Do you use octane booster? I'm asking cos mine pings like mad unless I add octane booster.
I enjoyed the mad acceleration when I drove it with the obodo oyibo fuel it came with.
I haven't had any pinging experience. No rattling at all evn at speeds of up to 100 mph (160km/h)
Car is fairly new tho, less than two months.
However i notice some type of high pitched screeching sound on high speeds. definitely not from the engine, I'm still unsure what the culprit is.

That one na small thing, you no talk about the beastly performance and glorious handling.

For the performance I get, I would buy the wahala over and over again. I set my mind on quarterly Carbon Cleaning

My 2nd gen MDX rides like a f*cking dream. For an SUV of that size the ride is unbelieveably fun and nimble. I cannot wipe the smug look on my face when I'm tearing past showoff drivers , and have them glancing sideways in embarrassment trying to compete in thier shiny new 201x Highlanders and RXs .
