Our verdict
This is the cheapest split AC on our list at ₹28,190: a fixed-speed 1 ton unit with a quiet 31 dB(A) lowest fan speed, turbo, energy saver and comfort sleep modes, a hidden display, a copper condenser and five years on the compressor.
It is 2-star and fixed-speed, with 3,312 W of rated cooling. For ₹5,300 more, Lloyd's 1 ton 3-star inverter split cools more, uses less power and is rated to 54°C, so buy this only if the AC will run a few hours a day.
What we like
- Stabiliser-free across stabiliser-free operation (range not stated)
- 31 dB(A) at its lowest fan speed — quiet enough for a bedroom
- Copper condenser with anti-corrosive Blue Fins
- 5-year compressor warranty
What we don't
- Fixed-speed compressor switches on and off instead of slowing down — louder and costlier to run than an inverter
- 2-star rating — the least efficient class sold new
- 3,312 W rated cooling is 6% below a true 1 ton (3,517 W), so size it for a smaller room
- The BEE annual-units figure is not on the product page, so a rupee running cost has to be read off the label on the unit

About Blue Star
India's strongest commercial-refrigeration engineering house, now selling domestic refrigerators too. The commercial heritage is the point: Blue Star's deep freezers, visi-coolers and glass-door merchandisers are the default choice for Indian shops and restaurants, and the domestic range inherits that build discipline. For a shop, a clinic or a restaurant, this is usually the first brand to call.

Blue Star 1 Ton 2 Star Split AC FB212DNU — frequently asked questions
What room size is the Blue Star FB212DNU suitable for?
Rated at 3,312 W, it suits a middle-floor room of up to about 130 sq ft with a 10 ft ceiling, or about 90 sq ft on a top floor with strong afternoon sun. Each person beyond two adds load, and a room open to a kitchen needs more. Our AC tonnage calculator works this out for your exact room.
How efficient is the Blue Star FB212DNU?
Blue Star publishes an ISEER of 3.52 for it. ISEER is cooling delivered per unit of electricity across a typical Indian season, so a higher number means a lower bill for the same cooling — 3-star inverter splits usually sit around 4.3-4.5 and the best 5-star units near 5.8. Blue Star does not publish the BEE annual-units figure on the product page, so a rupee estimate cannot be made from the brand's own numbers.
What warranty does the Blue Star FB212DNU come with?
5 years on the compressor, as listed by Blue Star. Warranty on an inverter AC matters most for the compressor and the PCB, the two most expensive parts to replace, so check both are listed on your invoice and register the product with Blue Star after installation.
Where can I buy the Blue Star FB212DNU at the best price?
We list ₹28,190 from Blue Star official store on 2026-09-14. AC prices move weekly and are often lower on Amazon and Flipkart, especially in bank-offer weeks, so compare all three before buying — and check what installation is included, because extra copper pipe and an outdoor stand are usually charged separately.
