“This award is especially significant because we are the only air conditioner brand to have achieved this accolade over a consecutive period – making us the most independently awarded brand of air conditioners in the country,” comments Managing Director for MHIAA Mr. Yuji Ito.

Founded 60 years ago, CHOICE® is the voice of the public. As the country’s leading consumer advocacy group, brands must meet stringent requirements set out by the governing body, which includes a minimum of 50 consumer responses to the CHOICE® member survey.

Brands were each scored against three key criteria, namely: cooling efficiency (40%), heating efficiency (40%) and airflow (20%). Along with this, MHIAA was also rated highly in both reliability and customer satisfaction, achieving a 90% and 91% respective rating for each category. “These results echo a positive sentiment amongst our satisfied customers,” adds Mr. Yuji Ito.

“When we first came to the local market in 1975, we set out with the goal of delivering products that would improve the lives of those who use them, and this award proves that we have achieved – and excelled – in our mission. Results like these drive us to achieve even more in the years to come, and to ensure our customers remain satisfied through our product technology and service.”
