Comfort without the direct cold draft
The Samsung WindFree™ AR18 first brings the room to temperature, then disperses air gently through thousands of micro air holes. The result is steady heating and cooling without a strong stream of air blowing directly across the room.
Why choose Samsung WindFree™
- WindFree™ Cooling: maintains comfort with still-air dispersion after the target temperature is reached.
- Fast heating and cooling: Digital Inverter Boost is designed to bring rooms to temperature quickly.
- Smart control: built-in Wi-Fi works with Samsung SmartThings; a Wi-Fi connection and Samsung account are required.
- Automatic care: Tri-Care Filter, Easy Filter Plus, Freeze Wash and Auto Clean are included in Samsung’s specification.
- Everyday modes: AI Auto Cooling, Fast Cool, Good Sleep and dehumidification.
