From the Daiken technical brochure, what am I missing here? Power input 0.04kW = 40 watts? Surely this isn't correct?

From the same manual, but further down 0.37A x 220v = 82w?

These values seem completely impossible for heating and cooling or am I missing the plot completely here?
Its like they got the decimal point in the wrong place. Maybe they converted mm into inches.
Seems accurate, some googling and it says when target temp is hit, they run at around 50W. Seems the cheapies are the ones running at around 200 to 300W now.
Daikin uses DC fan motors, rather than AC which they say is more efficient.
Daikin is Japanese. So they wouldnt lie about their numbers, unlike these chinese cars like Cherry claiming 450kw and humumgous torque, only to be beated by a BMW with 285kW.
Input power should be max load not min load.
Sure but isnt the state when at temp more important than peak power? If this thing cruises at 50W then its still far superior than the 300W ones like yours?
Looks like they skimp on details even on the stickers of the outdoor units:
I mean, look at the elctrical specifications. They couldnt have gotten it wrong on so many sections.Thats Peak, what about running? And madde in Turkey? Why does it say Japanese online?
I already told you how much the house uses with 7 running at temp.
Only thing I can think of there is a manual for the thing that blows inside the house, and another for the compressor outside. We might be the morons not reading manuals properly.
And that is exactly it, there is 2 manuals.
I just showed you the labels on the outdoor units. Skimp on info. Same max rating for 12000btu and 9000btu of 10.4A. That is impossible. Anyway, actually, when it reaches temp it turns off completely. I hate that, it wakes me up with the silence. I have to have a separate fan for white noise. All the cheap aux and tcls in dbn dont go silent when at temp, the indoor fan stays on and only the outside fan turns off.
from the brochure it says it doesnt turn it off completely. It uses a dc motor to control the speed. I think its because you have the older one, i might have been reading the newer stuff.
They literally say "nominal" so we know it's not the figure in actual use. Likely just the fan without the compressor.From the Daiken technical brochure, what am I missing here? Power input 0.04kW = 40 watts? Surely this isn't correct?

Buy one and let me know because that is a deal breaker for me and will take the efficiency hit with a cheap inverter aircon which keeps the indoor unit fan on.
Unit 1 and 3 are 9000btu and 12000 btu respectively, how can they both use the same power hence why I said they skimping on details.
