Samsung and LG air conditioners suit different rooms and routines. Samsung focuses on draft-free WindFree cooling and operation at up to 58°C outdoors, while LG focuses on Dual Inverter cooling with ThinQ app control on select models. Compare their features, upkeep, warranty, heat and voltage handling, energy use and prices below, then match a model to your room size and budget.

You can buy an air conditioner through Easy EMIs when your preferred model is eligible and available at a partner store, making it simple to upgrade without paying the full amount upfront. Here is what the process looks like.

• Visit more than 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal
• Choose your preferred model and use the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen air conditioner qualifies before you check out.

Samsung air conditioners combine a Digital Inverter compressor with WindFree cooling and smart controls built for hot Indian summers. Key features include:

• Digital Inverter compressor: adjusts cooling to the room load, with a 10-year part warranty on the compressor.
• WindFree cooling: spreads air through 23,000 micro air holes, so you avoid a cold draft on select models.
• 5-in-1 convertible modes: let you scale cooling capacity up or down to suit the room.
• AI Energy Mode: lowers energy use by up to 30% in Samsung's tests.
• Cools at up to 58°C: keeps the room cool when the outdoor temperature is extreme.
• Triple Protector Plus: protects against power surges without a separate stabiliser on select models.
• SmartThings control: Wi-Fi and voice control through Alexa, Google Assistant and Bixby.

You can choose from 1 ton, 1.5 ton and 2 ton split ACs across 3 Star to 5 Star ratings.

LG air conditioners pair a Dual Inverter compressor with AI cooling modes and easy upkeep suited to Indian homes. Key features include:

• Dual Inverter compressor: adjusts cooling to the load, runs quietly and carries a 10-year warranty on the inverter compressor.
• AI Convertible 6-in-1 cooling: lets you switch the cooling capacity to suit the room and season.
• Diet Mode+: lowers power use with the dual inverter compressor.
• Cools at 52°C: keeps cooling in high outdoor heat on select models.
• Stabiliser-free operation: handles voltage swings on select models.
• HD filter with anti-virus protection and Him Clean: control dust, allergens and moisture.
• ThinQ Wi-Fi: app and voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant on select models.

You can choose from 1 ton, 1.5 ton and 2 ton split ACs, plus window models.

If you're looking for budget friendly cooling options, explore a range of ApCs under Rs. 20,000 that offer great value without compromising on performance.

Both brands build in self-cleaning and protective filters, so upkeep comes down to regular filter cleaning and a pre-summer service.

Clean the filter regularly and book a service before summer.

Choose Samsung for draft-free WindFree cooling, cooling at up to 58°C outdoors and a longer warranty on select parts. Choose LG for Dual Inverter cooling, Him Clean upkeep and low gas detection. Match the model to your home:

• Students, couples or single occupants in rooms up to 120 sq. ft.: a 1 ton split AC such as the Samsung AR50H12D1XHNNA or LG AS-Q12YNXE fits.
• Families in bedrooms of 120–180 sq. ft.: a Samsung 1.5 ton WindFree model suits light sleepers who dislike direct cold air, and an LG 1.5 ton AS-Q18DNXE suits homes that want Him Clean upkeep.
• Living rooms and halls above 180 sq. ft.: choose a 2 ton model from either brand.
• Coastal cities such as Mumbai, Chennai or Kochi: either brand's corrosion protection suits humid air.
• Areas with heatwaves or voltage swings: pick a stabiliser-free model.

Match the tonnage to your room size before you buy.

Neither brand is more efficient across the board; the star rating and ISEER of the exact model decide. Both use inverter compressors that adjust speed to the room load.

A higher ISEER means less electricity for the same cooling. Samsung's AI Energy Mode and LG's Diet Mode+ add further savings on select models.

Samsung cools at up to 58°C outdoors, while LG cools at 52°C on select models. Both offer stabiliser-free models.

Check the stabiliser-free label on the exact model before you buy.

Samsung split ACs below range from Rs. 32,990 to Rs. 53,990, and LG split ACs range from Rs. 36,490 to Rs. 59,490. Choose by room size, then convert the cost into Easy EMIs at a partner store.
