Two popular 1.5 Ton 5 Star split ACs – the LG DUAL Inverter and the Daikin Inverter models. Though both leading brands with similar capabilities, my analysis revealed key differences in efficiency, connectivity, noise, and other aspects. Below I summarize my learnings to help determine the best choice. The main difference between the LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star DUAL Inverter Split AC and the Daikin 1.5 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC centers on their cooling technology and additional functionalities. LG’s annual energy consumption is 744.54 units, slightly less than Daikin’s 785.67 units. Both models have an ISEER value of 5.2, LG’s model offers AI Convertible 6-in-1 cooling, whereas Daikin focuses on fast cooling with its Power Chill operation.
Here is a comparison table between the LG Vs Daikin AC 1.5 Ton 5 Star Rating:
Differences Between LG and Daikin 1.5 Ton 5 Star AC
- The Daikin AC has a slightly higher maximum cooling capacity of 5280 Watts compared to 5000 Watts for the Daikin AC.
- The LG AC has an ISEER rating of 5.2 which is the same as the Daikin AC, making both very energies efficient.
- The LG AC has lower annual energy consumption at 744 Units compared to 785 Units for the Daikin AC.
- The LG AC has higher air circulation of 653 CFM versus 593 CFM for the Daikin model.
- The LG AC has a wider operating voltage range from 120V-290V compared to 130V-285V for the Daikin AC.
- The noise level on high fan speed is the same at 45dB for both ACs but at medium speed the LG AC is quieter at 39dB versus 38dB for Daikin.
- The Daikin AC has a longer air throw distance of 16 meters compared to 15 meters for the LG AC.
- The LG AC has a smart diagnosis system while the Daikin AC has a triple display for power consumption, temperature and error codes.
- The LG AC has ocean black protection and gold fin technology for better durability while the Daikin AC has stabilizer inside.
- Both the model has auto clean features.
- The Daikin AC has a PM 2.5 filter to trap fine particles while the LG AC does not have this.
- Both the model has 10 years warranty on compressor.
- Both the model has 6 fan speed.
- The LG AC needs frequent filter cleaning while the Daikin AC does not mention about filter maintenance.

- LG Vs Voltas 1.5 Ton Split AC 5 Star
Verdict:
The Daikin 1.5 Ton 5 Star AC edges out the LG model with higher cooling capacity, lower annual energy use, longer air throw, and built-in PM2.5 filter. However, the LG AC has quieter operation, wider voltage range, smart diagnosis, and better durability features. Choose based on priority needs.
Please compare the copper tube thicknesses of LG and Daikin ACs as they have the maximum value for leakages in copper tube and gas resulting into costly gas filling.
DAIKIN AC WILL BE CLEAR WINNER AND NOT SUB STANDARD LG AC.
Thank You for this, I will update
