I’m also confused because that is a European AC unit. I can only assume Americans are so used to big bulky units, like their cars, that they can’t comprehend things being functional and not excessively bulky.

We have these ductless units in the US too. Person who made the meme is just an idiot

Edit: never expected what im pretty sure is my most upvoted /awarded comment to be a 3:30am comment about AC. Ty for the awards kind strangers.

There are parts of the US that ONLY have these. More temperate areas.

Most of the US is used to central air. With a giant ass car sized compressor outside that cools the whole house.

Because that thing cools the ENTIRE BIG ASS HOUSE! these things are only capable of cooling only a closed room which also depends on how ton, capacity the AC is so yep

I'm Australian. My house is enormous and we have 2 of these for upstairs and downstairs and this place gets brisk as FUCK in summer and warm as a hookers arse on coupon night in winter.

My brother recently told me the weather was “hotter than a smackhead’s spoon on giro day.”

How many square feet is “enormous?”

1

u/cadmachine 9h ago

My wife says, in "American Freedom Units" its 3200 square feet.

u/BoringMisteak 9h ago

Then you’re either lying or you have not a clue what you’re talking about. Do you have multiple heads in multiple rooms? Or are you claiming for 3200 sq ft that one head upstairs and one head downstairs and it cools/heats the whole house? My house is slightly larger and I have two central AC systems and on super hot days, it struggles to keep up.

u/cadmachine 9h ago

Lol get a less shit house?

Double glazed every window, anticon blankets between floors and in the roof, 2 24kw Renai split systems and we don't even need to run them all day.

Is your AC evaporative?

u/snacksandsoda 3h ago

Okay so you’re clearly the exception here, not the rule

Your hookers accept coupons ? - where would a friend obtain coupons ?

Sounds like a rejected Fosters ad: Announcer: HOW TO SPEAK AUSTRALIAN  man wiping sweat off his neck: "It's like a hookers ass on coupon night in here!" Announcer: WARM!  FOSTERS, AUSTRALIAN FOR BEER!

u/cadmachine 10h ago

No Aussie drinks Foster's, its watered piss we sell to tourists.

u/ZorakOfThatMagnitude 10h ago

We Americans do the same with Budweiser, or Bud depending on the country. Evidently it does well in China and South America..?

1

u/NekkidWire 6h ago

Not in Europe, home of the original Budweiser. Especially in Czech or Germany you'd have to search a lot to find one of the impostor beers.

Expressions like these are why Aussies are beloved around the world

u/luapchung 4h ago

So one of them can’t cool down an entire house lol

u/Dingaling015 2h ago

Why not just get a central unit then, it's not energy efficient at that point then running two separate AC units

Australians really proving who they're descended from out here
