Default Resun Vs Hailea ? why ?

Ive been researching around and everybody keeps saying that the hailea chillers are really ok.. Does the hailea have an advantage over its resun counterparts ??

I read in the resun site that it also uses a titanium evaporator... and the mitsubishi compressor for the hailea does not seem to be true ?

Thanks !

more added information

hailea is rated at 240 watts
resun is rated at 280 watts

40 watt diff.

But that does not mean the hailea is immediately the winner... need more info... resuns are much more common here but if the hailea is way better then the resun.. then I will have to look for a hailea chiller here.

hmm interested to noe which is PRICE WORTHY too...

if you read the other threads.. resun is sed to be noisier..
but hafta consider that it is only for a few minutes to cool the water..
and if your chiller not in the room... i reali dun see the problem....

for me... tank in bedroom.... my optimum chiller shud be artica nano.. but it like twice the price of a normal say CL85 resun chiller......

den hafta consider long term power usage.. HOW MUCH CAN ACTUALLY BE SAVED to compensate high startup cost such tht buying a lower watt chiller at a higher price can be argued to be worthy. got a guy made a comparison between one specific artica and resun chiller before... and it is found tht it is more worth it to buy a new resun chiller every two yrs rather than buying one artica and hope it lasts 10years.................. how ever such comparisons are very specific!

i am sure if you post the exact models you want to compare.. alot of ppl can gif solid comments bro. and real evidence such as electrical bills can be contributed for comparison!!!!!

it also greatly depend on preference and willingness to pay.
some ppl like the design.. even if 5000 one chiller, dey are willing..
some ppl more practical..
some ppl want effeciency..
some ppl want short term solutions.

one other competetive chiller is atman!!!!!
in my conclusion from other ppls threads..

general public regret buying resun and prefer atman to resun and hailea the best of the economic chillers.......

tht in terms of noise and efficiency.

for me..... if i am not going ns soon.. il buy an artica!!!!!!! cuz i alwaes go for the best and also design. lol!

The new resuns are quiet and relatively good as well.

I also recomend Resun over the other two brand.
Use the new model before and will say it is reliable and quiet
