2.4 kW cooling

10% less electricity than the median of 52 comparable 2.5 kW cooling only portable registrations (545 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 92% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 95% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
