Does anyone know of a UK distrubuter for GREE equipment?
If you are talking about the portable ac kit then there are quite a few suppliers according to a Google search; any of those any good ?
Brian , from my expirience in Gree minisplits , they are excellent for the firs year , then after that they become junk , but they are the best of cheeposssssssss
Is it China Gree ? I don't understand what u mean for it's junk after 1st year.Share some your experience wiht us. Gree is highly rated in here. I hope it's also good in other countries.

Looking for splits etc not portable?
As I understand it the Gree splits haven't really taken off here in Australia.
We put a few in and I suppose that they weren't too bad. Apparently ( feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here) they are chinese made but Japanese engineered.
They come with a wiring loom, which can be a bit of a pain in the khyber pass but other than that seemed to be ok. I think the biggest problem we had was parts, which isn't a great sign of longevity, but certainly they were of the better of the cheaper brands.
By the way this is my first post on Refrig Engineers.com so a big 'How ya goin' to all.
hi dear all,
I appreciated all the discussion above on Gree brand. I want to know what the deficiency is in comparison with the top best product. Is it due to the design\manufacturing\component\etc? i really need the information which is valuable for my work. thanks!
regards

I gave up on this idea when one of them broke down and I was after some technical information.

Problem turned out to be indoor ambient thermistor was picking up heat on off cycle and unit would not switch back on.
I also recently posted a thread about problems with a gree unit again no backup support. Problem turned out to be indoor board which I origanally diagnosed but they were sending me faulty parts. finally I got a good board all ok.
The units seem ok for the price but as far as I am concerned if they have no back up support they are as good as useless.
I think I will stick with Daikin.
Hi Rooboy welcome to the forum . . .
Luchian , what i mean by after the first year it goes junk , is that after a summer and a winter of performance , you receive a huge ammount of calls and complains about it's performance , you go to check what's the problem than the problems begins , interior fan motor blocked after first year of usage , you change it . . . after a month they call you again , thermistor change . . . and it works alright and sometime passes before they call you again. . . and you continue changing parts till almost nothing remains of the original A/C but the fans (not the fans motors) , the coils and the plastic.
I see that the design is good (that what makes it the best of cheeposs) but the parts used are average or poor quality not heavy duty as top quality .
Hope this will help
Best regards.

Generally Chinese-made equipment is flooding Europe with cheap imports of fairly basic splits. They have a reputation for indifferent quality in the UK.
The problems we get are the same as the Ozzies, plus I would add that the metal work edges are like razors and the service manuals are unintelligible.
But, somebody said that they are 2nd generation Japanese tooling. I remember seeing a little Japanese unit in London in the late 70’s or early 80’s with the same build quality,….. Sharp metal, gobbledegook in the service manuals.. and I said, ‘they’ll never catch on’.
Daikin, I think it was.
Ho Hum.

We get the odd Gree from here.
