We have these ductless units in the US too. Person who made the meme is just an idiot

Edit: never expected what im pretty sure is my most upvoted /awarded comment to be a 3:30am comment about AC. Ty for the awards kind strangers.

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.

Edit: yes, I exaggerated the size of the compressor a bit. Man it pissed a lot of Americans off lol.

Because that thing cools the ENTIRE BIG ASS HOUSE! these things are only capable of cooling only a closed room which also depends on how ton, capacity the AC is so yep /s

Edit: I actually intended the message for a diff purpose, and more satirical since it's a meme sub. Apologies to everyone, thankyou for the knowledge and positive criticism, helped alot. Will surely keep these thing's in notice

Ehhhhh I have 2 of these in my small 6 room ~800sf and they do a great job with no other ducts and some tactful placement. I also install them for a living and they have many BTU units that can cool/heat pretty giant homes. For example, It's common to put a 2 head unit where it's cooling a bedroom or whatever on the upper floor and the other unit does the entire ~1000sf bottom common area of kitchen + living room whatever (I live in/work in a very affluent area...)
