The startup that made air conditioning units look cool

• redkinght99 5y ago
  This feels like one of those Ads disguised as a news article. It's claiming an air conditioning startup founded in 2020 (windmillair.com) is bigger / "cooler" than Dyson (dyson.com).

    It definitely is.

  It might look warm once the plastic gets yellowish within a decade or so of use lol

  It looks like an overhyped good-looking AC. It doesn't say anything about the tech inside, including how noisy it is, etc. How does someone pays for a premium (???) window AC without knowing this?

  This is the unit. It looks fine — still a box, but a bit less of the standard look I suppose. https://www.windmillair.com/product/the-windmill-ac/ https://www.windmillair.com/product/the-windmill-ac/

  $395 for an 8k btu and $325 for a 6k btu seem very very expensive to me. It's been a little bit since I was in the market for window ACs, but a 6k BTU would sell for $100ish from home depot or lowes when on sale. edit: 2 weeks ago Costco was selling an 8K for $150 - https://slickdeals.net/f/15030940-hisense-window-air-conditioner-with-wifi-8-000-btu-350-sq-ft-costco-150-00?src=SiteSearch https://slickdeals.net/f/15030940-hisense-window-air-conditi...
