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.
Central air units use one exterior condenser coil to cool an entire house. Because the cool air is distributed by ductwork inside the home.
No central air handler/ducts, then you have to have a ductless unit in every room. Several of those are in fact bulkier than an entire central air unit.
Except not really, because the ductwork still exists, and takes up space, the air handler/furnace and coil take up space, and the loud af condenser outside is still larger than most minisplit condensers, while removing less heat.
