Modern Sleek Air Conditioners

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Windmill Smart Window Air Conditioner is Discreet and Modern

— July 26, 2021 — Tech
The Windmill Smart Window Air Conditioner is designed to fit into the modern home. Unlike the traditional windowsill air conditioners, the Windmill is not a bulky eyesore. The sleek unit does not sacrifice efficiency. It delivers a cool relief without obscuring the window or disrupting conversation with loud sounds.

With 8,300 BTU of room cooling power, the Windmill is ideal for a home office, bedroom, or any area up to 350 square feet. Minimal in design, the matte device boasts rounded corners and a perforated front grill. Two-thirds of the unit hangs outside, making it space-friendly. In addition, the Windmill AC boasts smartphone compatibilities. Users can control the AC's four fan speeds and three cooling modes through an app.
