Temperatures are rising globally, making it essential to have some form of cooling system in your home if central air conditioning is not an option. The writer, who previously had bulky and inefficient window ACs, decided to research and upgrade to new models. Through their research, they discovered July and Windmill as popular options, each offering sleek and efficient window AC units. To determine the better brand, the writer tested July’s AC while two other staff members tested Windmill’s AC for over a month during a hot New York City summer.
Comparing the two brands, July’s AC offered compatibility with different window types, various modes and programs, and additional filter options. On the other hand, Windmill’s AC had models that were quieter and more energy efficient, offering multiple size options and decorative front panels. Both brands featured Wi-Fi connectivity and voice control, making them convenient to use.
The testing focused on aspects such as installation process, cooling efficiency, noise level, aesthetics, and additional features. Overall, both brands performed well in cooling efficiency, but the Windmill AC was quieter. Installation was straightforward for both, with July offering white-glove installation services. July’s AC had various modes to choose from, while Windmill’s WhisperTech models were known for their quiet operation.
In conclusion, both July and Windmill have their strengths and weaknesses, with July being more versatile with window types and modes, while Windmill’s WhisperTech models are quieter. Ultimately, the choice between the two brands depends on individual preferences and needs for a window air conditioner.
