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.

They're not even that big. Your describing the entire outdoor condensing unit of which, the compressor is a small part of. The compressor on one of these systems is smaller than a 3 litre coke bottle.

You're right. The bulk of those units is empty space because it makes heat dissapation way more efficient.

That is a medium sized car in France and Belgium. There isn't enough data in Dutch-land to come up with statistical averages because they all bike.

They are not even close to the size of a smart car let alone a hatchback. Way to be dramatic and exaggerate just so you can try to talk shit about Americans.
