Guys for a standard spacious selfcon room which should I pick between LG dual inverter 1 hp or a non-inverter regular 1 hp AC? Or recommend other brands. BTW I use a prepaid meter. I just want my room to be comfortable.

1.5hp hier thermocool will serve you better. Those 1hp ACS consumes less power but fall short when you need that chill the most under hot sun.
Inverter is okay if you can afford it, I'm guessing price is almost twice regular technology. If you can't, just buy the recent models. "Thermocool has year of production indicated", they have more efficient compressors.

The price difference between the inverter and non-inverter air conditioners of the same cooling capacity are typically less than 100K. With inverter air con, you get much less starting watts and energy consumption. That means you can more easily use inverter air con with your gen and if you decide to set up a solar system, then your inverter air con would be a better fit for that.
So yeah, get an inverter air con and not a regular air con. I would say go for LG, but Thermocool seems okay as well. I prefer LG though for better fit and finish, plus ease of mind.

Edit: If you are buying LG, try to buy from Fouani. They are the only authorized LG dealers in this country and their stuff comes with warranty. Look them up online and find out which of their outlets is nearest to your location.
If you are getting Thermocool, go to the Thermocool NG website and find out which of their authorized outlets is nearest to your location and buy from them.
No carry good money in this bulaba era and buy fake.

You're right, LG showroom is right on my street, I bought their direct cool fridge 2 weeks ago it doesn't make noise and it cools like crazy infact my Aquafina in put in the door compartment froze. All these plus the fridge is always silent, ice cube forms in 30 mins and pops out easily in one piece without stress... Chai LG try I guess I got the original LG fridge then.

Now.over to the AC matter, I hear people talk about PCB board failing very easily and the price of PCB is like 200k - 300k and after repair there is 50% chance of the AC being reliable again. That's what scares me the most. If not I like the fact inverter aircon of 1 hp can consume as low as 200 watts per hour men that is some really good and impressive energy saving. I don't really want my room to be freezing as thats uncomfortable, I want my room to be sweet and comfy.

Honestly never heard of the PCB board issue. I guess product warranties can take care of it. And it does not make sense for an inverter AC of around 500k to have a PCB board that costs 200-300k to replace.

As for cold rooms, I like it best when it's cold. I can sleep with multiple fans on and the colder it is the better my sleep. I guess I might have been an Eskimo in a previous life.

2HP Hier thermocool inverter 6 months used.
Still looking like brand new.
