Samsung is a global brand with many high tech, high quality gadgets, but are their air conditioners worth buying?
The answer from our point of view as installation experts is a big YES!
Over the last couple of years Samsung air conditioners have made a huge impact on the air conditioning market here in Melbourne.
Almost all major suppliers to the air conditioning trade have begun to stock their wall splits and their ducted air conditioners. Why?
Samsung is leading the way with great features like integrated WIFI. This feature allows you to control the system on your smart phone or tablet by downloading their smart air conditioning app, provided of course you have wireless in your home ( and these days who doesn’t?). It’s a pretty handy feature. You can be sitting on the couch in the lounge room and turn
the unit in your bedroom on just before you go to bed. And you can turn your lounge room unit on just as you wake up so you can come out to nice warm room. As all split systems take around 5 minutes to start blowing warm air you won’t have to wait to be warm. Leaving the office on a 40 degree day? Turn your air conditioner on before you leave work and come home to a nice cool room.
The WIFI models do cost a bit more of course so Samsung also provide NON-WIFI models as well.

The new Triangle design of the wall unit is very different than any thing else on the market. It allows a much larger area on top of the unit for air flow through the unit and has a new wide front for more air output.
The new “triangle” design
The front panel also has a digital screen that shows the temperature you have selected for a few seconds and then reverts to the actual temperate in the room. Personally I think this is a feature that all units should have.
Samsung have also begun to supply another range of air conditioners in Australia known as the Boracay range. This may be due to the triangle design of the Ballarat range not being to everybody’s liking. Yes, they are very different looking to other brands but in my opinion they look fine. The fact is that when it comes to aesthetics every one is different. Now you have a choice!
Also the Borocay range have integrated WIFI options.

Samsung air conditioner is one of the famous brands in the world. The advanced technology of Samsung air conditioners is constantly improving and meeting customers’ needs. Multi Samsung air conditioner has great technology. You should use Samsung air conditioner.
Air conditioning products of good brands are highly efficient. They do not come cheap, so if you are thinking of purchasing cooling system for your home try to go for the best brands available in the market such as LG, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Breezair, coolair, Breamar, Haire, Toshiba, Samsung and Fujitsu.
Samsung air conditioners are high-tech and stylish as their other products. But they are not certainly good in terms of service life. I have seen a lot of Samsung ACs that failed within 7-8 years. Better go for other big names like Carrier, Hitachi, etc. Older LG ones had excellent service life, don’t know about new ones.
Bought a Samsung triangle ac after 3 months it stopped working and the power light just keeps blinking.
Yes Samsung is a good brand but I don’t have experience with Samsung air conditioners.
Hi John, they are a good brand name. Their air condoners are also good, some of their models include wifi control and their smaller units having really impressive EER/COP ratings. Check out our compare efficiency page.
Definitely Samsung air conditioners are always good. If I had multiple choices for an air conditioner I’d go with Samsung.
I bought one for my bedroom and have loved it. I understand they have different models now with WIFI. If they had them when I bought mine I would have gone for that option.
I have heard LG does a WIFI model also, might be a good choice too.
I don’t have experience with Samsung conditioners but I have checked user reviews on Google and people have good experience. Its cooling power is exceptional.
Between LG and Samsung, I’d go for Samsung. But, there’s a big “BUT”, technology wise Samsung is no doubt one of the leading air conditioner brand in Australia, it’s their costumer services that doesn’t amuse me.
For generations, even when I’m still living with my parents, we’ve been a fan of Brivis, and I believe up until now my parents are still using the same brand of air conditioner. I am not saying Samsung and LG are not good, what I am saying is that there are still other big names out there that people loved for decades specially here in Australia.
