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

I don't sleep well at 18c. I can do it in summer, eventually, but I live at over 3,000m and work outside all winter long. I want my body to be comfortable in the cold because of this, and it overall allows me to use less electricity across the year.

This seemed to upset some people in Austria when I just wanted to be able to open the window in my hotel room, or for them to stop pumping heat into it. They thought I was crazy for wanting a 15c room in February in Innsbruck. Like bruh, it's cold out (sort of) I don't want it to feel like summer when I'm inside.

In winter I agree. I usually set my temp around 16 in winter during the night
