Our verdict
A plain fixed-speed window AC: 1.5 ton class at 4,800 W, a copper coil, anti-dust filter, sleep mode and memory restart after a power cut, with five years' comprehensive warranty. For a tenant who will take the AC to the next flat, a window unit avoids the reinstallation bill a split AC runs up at every move.
It is 2-star and fixed-speed, so it is the most expensive kind of AC to run, and its 48°C rating is low for north India. Lloyd's inverter window AC costs ₹2,000 more and is 3-star and rated to 54°C.
What we like
- Sleep mode and memory restart after a power cut
- 5 years' comprehensive warranty with standard installation
- One box, no outdoor unit — it moves with you to the next flat without a split AC's reinstallation bill
- Copper condenser, which can be repaired in the field if a joint leaks
What we don't
- The brand's product page does not publish ISEER or annual units, so its running cost cannot be checked before you buy
- 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
- 4,800 W rated cooling is 9% below a true 1.5 ton (5,276 W), so size it for a smaller room
- Rated to 48°C — cooling fades on the hottest afternoons in 45°C+ cities

About Voltas
The Tata group's air-conditioning company and one of the largest AC sellers in India. Voltas' real advantage is reach rather than specification: its installer and service network extends into district towns where most brands have no presence, and its brand store bundles five years' comprehensive warranty with standard installation on current split ACs. Where it falls short is disclosure — its store pages do not publish ISEER or annual units, so the efficiency of a Voltas AC has to be read off the BEE label on the unit.

Voltas 1.5 Ton 2 Star Window AC 182FS Elite — frequently asked questions
What room size is the Voltas 182FS Elite suitable for?
Rated at 4,800 W, it suits a middle-floor room of up to about 180 sq ft with a 10 ft ceiling, or about 130 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 much electricity does the Voltas 182FS Elite use?
Voltas's product page does not publish the ISEER or the BEE annual-units figure for this model, so its running cost cannot be calculated from the brand's own information. Both numbers are printed on the BEE star label on the unit itself — ask the seller for a photo of the label before you pay, and compare the annual units against the 2-star models on our list that publish them.
What warranty does the Voltas 182FS Elite come with?
5 years comprehensive with standard installation, as listed on the Voltas store. 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 Voltas after installation.
Where can I buy the Voltas 182FS Elite at the best price?
We list ₹31,000 from Voltas 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.
