Build:
The IFB Fastcool AC has a white matte finish body,which is the norm in most consumer ACs that you’ll find. The 1.5 ton model is not that large and occupies less space than you would expect. The wire plug is a bit short so be sure to have an electric board close by, or you will have to get an extension board. The fin in the mouth of the AC has two ridges, which effectively makes it a dual fin system.

Cooling:
The area of direct cooling is very large and you can immediately feel the cool air flowing in the room. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to evenly cool our medium sized room. The fan’s intensity can be controlled by the given remote. There are many variations in the mode which we will discuss below.
Modes and Functions:
The AC can be set to a total of 5 modes, which are Feel,Cool,Dry, Fan and Heat.
The Feel mode automatically adjusts the temperature and fan speed according to the ambient temperature of the room.
The Cool mode and Heat Mode provide cool and hot air respectively.
The Dry mode is most effective during rainy days/ The AC acts as a dehumidifier and removes moisture from the indoor air.
The Fan mode only switches on the fan at a constant temperature without any cooling or heating.

The remote has a lot of other functions too. Apart from controlling the room temperature, the swing of the fins can be controlled, horizontally as well as vertically. You can also fix the position of the fin at a certain angle according to your preference. You can also manually set the fan speed, which has three intensities. There is also the Super button that makes the fan even faster and provides cooling even quicker.
The AC can also be made to Sleep after a certain amount of time,which you can set from the remote. The process is very simple and works flawlessly. The backlight of the remote can also be manually turned on by the Light switch.
Additional Features:
The AC has a lot of bonus features that made it an even better product. The aroma diffuser built inside helps release a very pleasing smell in your room. There are also multiple bacterial as well as dust filters to make sure that the air is pure and free from any pollutants. The filters used are Carbon Filter, PM 0.3 Filter, Anti-bacterial filter,Catechin Filter and Dust Filter.
The AC has a star rating of 3 stars, which means it is decently capable of power savings and can save you money from your electricity bills. While not the most power efficient product out there, it still does its job fairly well.
The inverter compressor found inside the AC is responsible for the low noise generated when it is running at full fan speeds. The inverter maintains the energy consumption and the flow rate of the refrigerant gas. There have been no fluctuations in the temperature in our one year of use and the inverter deserves all the credit.
Pros:
- Reasonable Price
- 5 modes of Cooling
- Many filters that provide clean and pure air
Cons:
- Energy Rating could have been better
Verdict:
The IFB Fastcool Silver AC is a great AC that has excellently performed for the last one year of use. The cooling is fast and efficient, the fans do not make a lot of distracting noise and the different modes are very convenient to have. The temperature is also very consistent and does not fluctuate, which is a very common problem found in non-inverter ACs.
