Second time I've seen this meme... Never experienced it. They always sucked compared to even cheap window units. Half the time barely able to push below 22*. Granted I spent a lot of time as a kid on summer break locked up in a room with an 80s high end window unit that could get the room to 10* on a 25+* day.
Perhaps it's more of an American thing, these are super common in budget hotels and have the ability to freeze you to death
I met one for the first time ever on a work trip to NC and can confim i nearly died overnight...
I think it’s down to lack of maintenance. Either there’s a refrigerant leak, or the condenser side is clogged. Most budget hotels don’t have the best maintenance.
