I have the og bill and box, specs are 32 gb ram, rtx 4070, intel ultra 7 155h, and 1 tb. Its almost 2 years old, purchased 2024 july 7th. Also please tell me realistic olx and fb price not the lowball reddit price, need a proper idea of it's value.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice because I'm really stressed about this situation.

I ordered an iPhone 17 from Flipkart during the recent GOAT Sale using the HDFC Bank offer. The phone cost ₹76,348 (around ₹83,000 with EMI).

Here's the timeline:

3 July: Order shipped.

4 July (6:49 AM): Status changed to Out for Delivery.

Later that evening, the status changed to Delivery Rescheduled.

I never received any delivery call or OTP.

Today, I went to the local Ekart hub in person. The staff there told me something unexpected:

They said the parcel is missing.

The delivery executive says he never received the parcel from the hub.

They suspect it may have been misplaced inside the office and said they are checking the CCTV footage. They promised to update me by the evening.

I also called Flipkart Customer Care. They said they have escalated the issue to their backend team, but they told me the investigation may take 2 days.

A few important points:

This was an Open Box Delivery.

I have not received the phone.

I have not shared any OTP.

I have not canceled the order because I bought it during the GOAT Sale and don't want to lose the sale price and Bank offer.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Did Ekart eventually find the parcel?

If the parcel is declared lost, did Flipkart provide a replacement at the original sale price, or only a refund?

Is there anything else I should do right now besides waiting for the investigation?

Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful.

Thank you.

I need some advice from people who have experience with O General ACs or AC repairs.

I have an O General 1.5 Ton Split AC (Model: ASGG18CGTA) that I purchased in 2019. Honestly, it has been a troublesome AC almost from day one.

Issues I've faced

• Cooling has always felt weak. Even when it was new, it never cooled as well as my LG 1.5T AC that I bought in 2020. The difference has always been noticeable.
• Gas has been refilled 3 times in 6 years. This makes me suspect there's a slow refrigerant leak somewhere.
• Last year, the PCB failed. I got it repaired through Urban Company.
• The repaired PCB failed again within 3 months, so UC repaired it again under warranty.
• Now, the PCB has failed yet again.

Current dilemma

A brand-new PCB replacement will cost around ₹15,000–16,000.

Considering:

• Weak cooling since the beginning
• Multiple refrigerant refills
• Repeated PCB failures
• The AC is now about 6 years old

I'm wondering whether it makes sense to spend another ₹15-16k on it.

Would you:

1. Replace the PCB and continue using it. Also get it checked for leaks and gas refill (+2-3K) = Total 18K to fix everything.
2. Sell the AC as-is and buy a new LG AC instead?

Has anyone had similar reliability issues with O General, or am I just unlucky with this unit?

I'd really appreciate hearing what you'd do in my situation.

Option 1 (₹18k without monitor)

Ryzen 5 5600G

16 GB DDR4-2666mhz

+ Ups and all

Prolly ~ 23k with monitor (seperate new)

Option 2 (₹16k with monitor but monitor is old)

Ryzen 5 3400G

8 GB DDR4 2666mhz

+ Ups and all

Buying on Sunday

For Watching Lectures, using chrome and all for tests and study, light gaming prolly gta V, minecraft or valo or other, light coding and light video editing (if I get time, jee aspirant)

Basically a all rounder device for all stuff but mainly for study and notion.

Also need it for like just 2 years, after that I'm gonna get a Laptop for college.

So yeah, please lemme know

Hii, So I've been going back and forth between these two phones for about a week now and would appreciate opinions from people who've actually used either device.

OnePlus 13 (12GB/256GB) is going for ₹54,999. I can get ₹2,000 off using an SBI card, so effective price is ₹52,999.

Vivo X200T (12GB/256GB) is going for ₹59,999 through Flipkart. If i apply flipkart axis credit card, effective price becomes ₹56,999.

My use case

-Planning to keep the phone for atleast 3 years

-Travel photography.

-Battery life is important.

-I don't play games that much.

-Performance should remain smooth over the years.

-Software should be good with good built in features. ( Should be atleast better than xiaomi hyperos)

Also, I'm upgrading from a Redmi Note 11 Pro+ with a replacement LCD display, so either phone will be a huge upgrade in terms of performance and cameras.

My concerns

Is the Vivo's camera actually worth paying ₹4,000 more?

- How are OxygenOS and Funtouch OS after 2-3 years?

- Which brand has better long-term software stability?

- Any issues with camera quality changing after updates?

- Which has better repairability and spare-part availability in India?

- Does OnePlus generally hold its resale value better than Vivo?

Finally, Should i buy right now during the early access deals or should i wait till 4th july so that prices drop further?

want to buy a slim powerbank for everyday use. found this powerbank on amazon from ambrane and it has the most reviews. the thing is, that the reviews on amazon, youtube and reddit are mixed. some are glazing this power bank like crazy while others are shitting on the company.

i want one with magsafe compatibility, but ill most used it wired (own an iphone 11, so not magsafe technically but this powerbank includes a magnetic ring).

i want yall thoughts on this one, worth buying or not? also some other budget friendly v4m recommendations? tysm!

Prime day starting from July 4 and Goat sale on July 3 (early access)

But first, one important thing: a new ISEER star rating system has been implemented in 2026. Because of this, brands will launched new AC models with updated ISEER star ratings.

Here’s the 2026 AC buying guide based on the older BEE star ratings.

I wouldn’t recommend Window AC or Portable AC in 2026. They’re a very noisy and portable ac is useless.

Things to check before buying an AC

5 years PCB warranty
1 year comprehensive warranty on the whole product
10 years compressor warranty, copper coil, and protective coating
Refrigerant should be R32 gas
If any company is not giving the above four things, don’t buy it.

For surge protection, buy a stabilizer according to the voltage fluctuation in your area. It will protect your AC’s PCB.

Now people will suggest buying a 3-star AC.
But trust me, go with the 5-star version of the same model if you can. 5 star model ODU units are bigger than 3 star IDU. It will save you money in the long run. If your budget is tight or you use your AC for less than 5-6 hours a day, then a 3-star model is perfectly fine.
Convertible mode works for about 30 minutes. After that, the AC runs in Auto mode.

Installation

Vacuum is must (till -30psi)

Don’t forget to vacuumr your AC (till -30 PSI) while installing. Otherwise, the AC will not cool your room.
If the technician says it’s not required, tell him to come with a vacuum machine. Otherwise, bhaga dena. I have attached a photo. Yesterday one new AC was installed at my home.

Keep ₹1.5K–4K extra in your budget for installation. The price varies by brand. You can provide the installation materials yourself (

i. drain pipe,
ii. 2.5 mm 3-core wire,
iii. ODU stand,
iv. Wrapping tape
v. 3-pin plug

The technician will then charge only the installation fee.

Installation is the most crucial part of AC installation, no matter which brand you buy. If it isn’t done properly, your AC won’t cool your room.

AC Brands

1. Mitsubishi and General

Both are the OGs in the market. These are premium and heavy-duty ACs.
For example, a Mitsubishi AC costs around ₹90K just for the indoor and outdoor units. You have to purchase the copper pipe separately, plus installation charges. The total cost comes to around ₹95K–100K.
After-sales service is available only in a few metro cities. Still, they are the kings. If you have the budget and service is available in your area, you won’t regret buying one. But for these 2 modle better to buy offline from Croma, Reliance Digital or Vijay sales

2. Daikin

Pros: Excellent cooling, low electricity consumption, auto clean (Dew Clean), large outdoor unit, 100% copper.
Cons: Old design and lack of smart features.
Daikin inverter ACs do have Convertible Mode. Don’t believe misinformation saying otherwise.
➡️ I am using a Daikin 1.5-ton 3-star and a 1.8-ton 5-star since 2024, and recently bought the same 1.5-ton 3-star model (2025) again. I’m really happy with it. Bought another Daikin 2026 model on June.
If you have a high budget, go with O General or Mitsubishi. Otherwise, buy Daikin.

3. LG

LG makes very silent ACs, but their actual tonnage is often lower. For example, they sell a 1.24-ton (2024) AC as a 1.5-ton model. Always check the actual cooling capacity before buying.
The 2025 models are good. I’ve mentioned some in the pinned comment.
Excellent after-sales service with their own technicians. Service is available even in Tier 3 cities and villages.

4. Hitachi

Pros: Excellent cooling, especially in the 2-ton segment, plus auto clean.
Cons: Slightly higher electricity consumption, no temperature display, and no manual Convertible Mode (it works automatically, so it’s not really an issue).
➡️ Hitachi currently offers 5 years of comprehensive warranty, while most other brands offer only 1 year. The PCB is one of the most important components in an inverter AC.
5. Carrier
Good cooling, auto clean, Convertible Mode available. Overall, a solid choice.
Carrier is the company that invented air conditioning.

6. Panasonic

Absolute cooling with smart features. The AC itself is excellent, but the remote is small and tends to stop responding after some time.
Wi-Fi smart features are available, so you can control the AC from your phone.
Cons: The indoor and outdoor units are quite noisy.

Don’t buy Lloyd, Samsung, Voltas, Godrej, Haier, IFB, Bluestar (except some models), or Whirlpool.

No brand is the best at making every appliance.

➡️ Smart Wi-Fi is genuinely useful. Alexa voice commands make it much easier for elderly people to control the AC.
AI features are mostly marketing gimmicks. Don’t fall for them.

AC Tonnage According to Room Size

1 ton — 100–150 sq ft
1.5 ton — 131–190 sq ft
2 ton — 191–250 sq ft
2.5–3 ton — 400–600 sq ft (or install two 2-ton ACs / centralized AC)
If your room is on the top floor and gets direct sunlight throughout the day, choose an inverter AC with 0.5 ton higher capacity.
For example, if the same room on the ground floor needs a 1-ton AC, the top-floor version may require a 1.5-ton AC.

Bonus tip:

Suppose your room is 170 sq ft on the top floor with direct sunlight all day. You might think a 1.5-ton AC is enough. It isn’t. You should buy a 1.8–2-ton AC.
You can always run a 2-ton AC like a 1.5-ton AC (some models have 7 Convertible Modes, though Convertible Mode works for only about 30 minutes before switching to Auto Mode).
But you can’t push a 1-ton AC beyond its capacity without affecting efficiency and potentially reducing compressor life.
For these situations, it’s always better to buy the higher-tonnage AC.

Don’t run behind brands. Check the ISEER value, actual tonnage, and maximum cooling capacity, then compare them with your room size.

Salespeople may recommend an AC, but remember they’ll usually push the brand or model that gives them the highest commission.
It’s recommended to use a good stabilizer. It costs around ₹2K and can save your AC’s PCB.
I’ve mentioned some recommended models in the pinned comment. I’ll continue updating the best models in the future.
