Panasonic 7.1Kw reverse cycle split system air conditioner

Did you compare yours with these two Aussie owned companies Actron Air and Seeley International before buying. There is this big 'BUY AUSTRALIAN" push at the moment to lift our manufacturing base. Buying foreign products does not build our economy.

Western Australia is predicted to have a very hot Summer.

Same over here. Last two days in my part of Sydney have been around 30, today 35 and it is not even summer yet. I dont mind the dry heat it is the humidity I detest.

I'd normally buy Australian Craig but my 'go to' Good Guys didn't carry those brands you mentioned.
All my friends have Fujitsu air conditioners which I favoured and a few months ago the Jujitsu and Panasonic 7.1 Kw brands were $2000 each but last week the Fujitsu one's price increased to $2300 while the Panasonic dropped to $1850 on a Black Friday sale, so saving $450 I went for the Panasonic, another 5 star unit.
Reading specs the Pansonic has more hi-tech functions than the Fujitsu and I've often bought many Panasonic items which have always served me well.
My Smart tv is a TCL, an Aussie brand, and it's excellent. Years back I always bought Aussie made cars, mostly Holden and once an EA Ford Falcon. Sadly that was Lemon.
