How does the "windfree" behave？

 

Avoid direct blows

Direct blow in traditional air conditioners leads to "air conditioning illness" easily. Such as stiff neck and shoulder, cold, dry eyes, etc. The "windfree" design can solve this problem.

Improved silence

Some windfree air conditioner models adopt a special air supply design, so the operation noise will be much quieter, suitable for bedrooms.

 

Potential shortcomings

Higher price

The "windfree air conditioner" is placed in the middle and higher class, the selling price will be higher.

 

Different experiences from people to people

Some peple regard the windfree as a comfort while others are accustomed to the direct wind blow from the traditional air conditioners.

 

Does the windfree air conditioner more comfortable ?

 

The answe is that, for many people, it is more comfortble but not absolutely.

 

The experience of the windfree air conditioner is truly good for those who are sensitive to the cold wind and direct blow and who are concerned about health and sleep quality.

For those who pursue fast cooling/heating, the traditional split air conditioners are much better.

 

The windfree air conditioners are not a gimmick. It truly improves comfort, but whether it's worth purchasing depends on the user's needs and places. If you pursue a healthy, silent, and balanced experience, then a windfree air conditioner is an ideal choice, but if you stress the price and a fast cooling/heating effect, a traditional air conditioner is applicable as well.
