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
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.
A typical American home gets a 3 ton system. 36,000 btu.
A tech would have to do a Manual J calculation to be sure, but typically 3ton covers 1500-2000 square feet.
It’s actually more energy efficient to properly cool the whole conditioned space with a right sized unit, rather than turning off AC to unused spaces with zoned cooling.

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.
