Window type aircon (inverter)

[Motortrend]

Current consumer A/C technology does not have any definition for "inverter-class" or "inverter-grade". It either employs an inverter compressor (ie. variable-speed compressor) or it doesn't. There is no middle ground.

BUT, if you force an interpretation, it's just a marketing stretch to convey that the unit is consuming roughly about the same power as a slightly larger inverter A/C that is running at its minimum cooling capacity (ie. the compressor is spinning at its lowest speed). But still, it's apples and oranges.

So really, it bears no meaning aside from being a marketing gimmick to get your attention.

This is like the Peak Music Power Output (P.M.P.O) labels on overrated boomboxes. The large sticker in front might say it can do "5,000W P.M.P.O.", but in reality, it's just a system that can roughly make 50W RMS.... if at all.

Much like Yoda, "Do... or do not. There is no try."

just got a small a/c for an 8sq m cubicle

8k sa sm. 6k on lazada. astron brand, made by TCL, w/ some stupid marketing wankery "inverter class"

if it's good i'll buy another one for a camper trailer project. only 500-something watts, very easy to run from an inverter

The one star rating sums it all, it's the less efficient AC compare to any other brand/units with 0.6hp.
Grabe marketing dito, para lang hindi mapansin ang one star i nilagyan ng inverter class dahil sa R32.
Where in fact, R32 is the new refrigerant being pushed right now to replace the r410a due to it contributes less to climate change/global warming.

If all ACs will be using R32 once mapasa yung regulation to use R32 as refrigerant, lahat ACs magiging inverter class na, hehe.

so i got it installed all by myself

apparently these small units don't have a drain tube so the water is supposed to splash all over the condenser to help cool it

i wonder,
would drilling a drain hole help in preventing rust?

Yes, but it's going to be inefficient at cooling.

I went for the best of both worlds. I drilled a hole with a way to plug it as needed.

If I use the A/C a lot, I leave the hole plugged. But if I don't plan to use it for a few days, I'd let the condensate drain out.
