Can’t we have like .8 kw / ton thats twice as reliable?
You can have a super efficent one that’s reliable. Not gonna be super cheap, though. But they exist, as server rooms and critical infrastructure has to be cooled as well. Mitsubishi Heavy makes stuff like that for example.
What is planned obsolescence?
A way to destroy the earth for temporary profits while guaranteeing the future generations to be screwed because we exploited all the resources in chase of a quick buck?
I think Ziltoid was doing a jeopardy, but it was nice to answer the question either way.
You can buy whatever size AC you want. When you cheap out and buy one that is too small you don’t get to cry “planned obsolescence”. That was your choice, not someone else’s plan.
Reliability exists, just don’t buy crap. Invest and reap the efficiency. Personally, I’ve spent years with mini-splits and never had this filter problem crap, everything just works and for less than half the cost.
