Quite possibly for the American market. Here in Blighty you don't often find sash windows (except on very old properties), and trying to find one of those units you wedge in the window is like trying to find rocking-horse dung!
You can get free-standing ones that can pump the air outside, but they are very pricey! (Remember, I'm an NHS worker... I'd get more money if I was on benefits!)
NOW we do.You guys need air conditioning. Then again I live in the southeast US... which is uninhabitable without AC
Because all this heat yankee's AC units have been emitting outside for years, finally made it's way to Europe
I've friends in Arizona. Never visited for fear of being over-done.You guys need air conditioning
I think someone might need some cream for that....NOW we do.

BURN
I wish, but you have to pay the few thousands of € to make my house capable of supporting it, then pay the electricity for it, and finally explain my landlord why I'm making holes in his building.You guys need air conditioning
We didn't need AC in Europe, because the climate was gentle enough. Except in the south, but we built in a way that it was ok, and lived in a way to accommodate the heat (siesta for example, or opening later in the day in spain).
But then, global warming came and said "'sup", and now we all suffer. Last year I saw a finish youtuber I watch occasionally, he had 30°c there. The maximum heat in summer is around 25°c and they find it hot. Poor guy was red and melting.
Those guys have sauna and global heating. Not AC.
different climate in arizona compared to south east us. south east us is sea level and super humid + hot.
Arizona is like 10 thousand ft above sea level and while the temp gets hot in the day, it's a desert. so it gets very cold at night and it's very dry.
i thought it was just the US that was pretending that global warming wasn't going to happen and so wasn't going to prepare for it.
kinda good to know that europe is in the same boat.
Oh we know about global warming, swede are the most ecological nation in the world with like 99% recycling (they even recycle poop for fuel).
Thing is, it's twisted. To fight heat from global warming, you use AC, which increase the global warming.
Gawd - you must feel like a boil-in-the-bag!
if you're powering it with solar / wind etc.. then the net impact is negligible.
Yeah but Eu city were built hundreds, thousands of years ago. Our street are narrow. Some can't even handle cars, the entire center of my city can't. Also, since it's full of historical stuff, you can't use solar much in town.
Still, new buildings are usually solar powered and better isolated. We learned. It's just that we weren't prepared, and couldn't be without crazy amount of money.
Also, it's not like the US is very big on solar and wind
It's so hot and humid here that I'm currently wetter than a .... well, I'll stick to aquatic cat.
Most of my one liners would probably even offend you guys!

That's possible?
Don't a lot of Americans pay a flat-rate for electricity useage, rather than for the actual amount of power used?
I'm sure this was mentioned when crypto-mining was at its peak and the miners were unbalancing the expected demand.

"The weather today is hot and 5h!tty, with a p!55y weather front coming down from the north... To be honest it's gonna be hotter than a snakes @5s in a wagon rut"
