Cool more, sleep more

Stay comfortably cool

WindFree™ Cooling

Stay comfortable cool with WindFree™ Cooling. It gently and quietly disperses air through 23,000 micro air holes, so there is no unpleasant feeling of cold wind on your skin. Its advanced airflow also cools a wider and larger area more evenly. And it uses 77% less energy than Fast Cooling***.

* ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) defines “Still Air” as air currents at speeds below 0.15m/s that lack the presence of cold drafts.** Tested on the AR12TXCAAWKNEU model. WindFree™ mode generates only 23dB of noise, compared to 26dB with the Samsung conventional model.*** Tested on the AR07B9350MA3 model by Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, comparing the power consumption of Fast Cooling mode vs. WindFree™ Cooling mode. Results may vary depending on the actual usage conditions.

Enjoy a good night’s sleep& save energy

WindFree™ Good Sleep

Get a really good night’s sleep every night. The WindFree™ Good Sleep mode creates the ideal climate for sleeping – without an unpleasant cold air flow. Its temperature control with WindFree™ cooling helps you fall asleep fast, sleep deeply and comfortably and wake up feeling fully refreshed

Cools you faster

Fast Cooling

Cool rooms quickly from corner to corner, so feel comfortable wherever you are. Digital Inverter technology cools the air 43% faster*. Its advanced design also has a 15% larger fan, 31% wider blade. So cool air is dispersed farther and wider**, reaching up to 15 meters.

* Tested on the AR12TXCAAWKEU model compared with the Samsung conventional AQ12EASER model, measuring the time taken to reduce the room temperature from 33°C to 25°C.** Tested on the AR24TXFCAWKNEU model.
