Seems like you are the only one who has ever seen a Daikin work more than two years..

That is what my GYM owner told me, and he told me he has 2 ACs, one of which is daikin and one is voltas, and he is fed up with his unit of daikin, btw what's the hate all about ?
For the benefit of the OP: The leakage issue is mainly an installation issue. I had a similar issue with a Godrej A/C. Now, that does not make the Godrej A/C any inferior. The problem was with the slope of the drain pipe. If the slope is not properly maintained, over a period of time, due to excess humidity (during rainy seasons) and dust accumulation if not properly cleaned there could be some clogging. This generally is not an issue if the slope is OK as gravity will take care of draining of the water. In my case, I had to get the slope adjusted to get rid of the drainage issue.
Exactly. Excellently explained and I've experienced this myself. Not just in India but even in the gulf, where General and Carrier dominate - I have seen indoor units occasionally drip during the peak summer months and usually is just a drain pipe that's a bit off on the angle or has just been clogged over the years of use. This does not automatically lead to the deduction that the brand is crap 100% of the time, unless of course its proven to have been related to a defect in the unit which only a technician would able to confirm to an owner.
These depend totally on local service support. For ex. Hitachi outsources support where I live, people are quite unhappy with the lack of response. Unlike most appliances, after-sales service matters a lot in case of ACs.
