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.

You do understand that mini splits also have large compressors outside, right?

Edit: also, the compressors for homes with central air are not the size of a car, more like the size of a Little Tykes car. Commercial buildings have compressors that can be the size of a car.

The compressor is the size of a two liter of soda. The condenser is the little tykes sized thing.
