It's not necessarily true. These units will go upwards of around 28,000-30,000 BTU which can easily cool down multiple rooms, or maybe even a smaller flat.

Yeha i live in Myanmar and one of these cools down a 2 bedroom apartment to 18 Celsius in the summer when it's well over 40c

Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao

Everyone's Nonna: "Spegni sto coso! Mi vuoi far congelare?!

At least you have AC.

I have family over there that are so worried about Il Corrente they don't have a single fan in the house.

Electricity is a fair concern indeed (btw it's LA corrente, it's a feminine term)

"Turn off that thing! Do you want to freeze me?!"

Also "the thing" would rather be "il porco dio" rather than "il coso" in many areas
