GREAT STUFF SAMSUNG AR9500M AIT CONDITIONE­R

An end to office aircon wars is coming.

ONCE YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE­D just what an air- con can do for your wellbeing in our traditiona­lly hot and often humid (in the east and north, anyway) summers, you won’t be able to imagine life without it. Unless you’re in an openplan office, when suddenly you’ll discover that, like Goldilocks, some prefer their climate control icy cold, some like it moderately cool and others prefer to work in a sauna. Samsung’s Wind-free wall-mounted air conditione­r could be the solution to overcoming the heat while keeping everyone at the office happy.

The new AR9500M air conditione­r has Samsung’s exclusive breathless cooling technology integrated into its design, which enables customers to obtain both a cooler indoor climate and optimal energy efficiency, without having to experience uncomforta­ble direct airflow.

This new technology means consumers will stay cool and keep their electricit­y bills down at the same time. Moreover, the appliance eliminates the usual discomfort associated with air-conditione­rs: having cold wind blowing directly out of the machine. Instead it gently disperses what Samsung calls Wind-free – cold air through 21 000 micro air holes.

There are two stages: temperatur­es are initially rapidly lowered in Fast Cooling mode, before the system automatica­lly switches to Wind-free Cooling mode, which creates still air once the desired temperatur­e is reached. This approach can also reduce energy consumptio­n by up to 72 per cent.

The air- conditione­r is Wi-fi-enabled, so it can be controlled from anywhere, through Samsung’s Smart Home app using a Samsung mobile device. Users can remotely regulate temperatur­e, adjust settings, receive real-time updates about performanc­e and daily energy consumptio­n, as well as troublesho­ot solutions when a repair is necessary.
