Samsung Electronics Launches 2022 Model Window-Type Air Conditioner 'WindowFit'

A Samsung Electronics model is introducing the 2022 Window Fit window air conditioner, which offers an upgraded installation and usage experience.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Samsung Electronics launched the 2022 model window-type air conditioner 'Window Fit' on the 16th, offering an upgraded installation and usage experience.

Designed for consumers who want individual cooling in each room without installation environment restrictions, Window Fit features an integrated outdoor unit, making it easy to move and install, unlike conventional air conditioners. Additionally, it can be easily detached and stored during off-seasons.

Its key advantage is the application of a window-integrated installation frame, enabling simpler installation and excellent space utilization. The 2022 model is the industry's first to allow customers to choose the type of dedicated frame according to the installation environment.

Samsung Electronics collaborated with premium window brand Younglim Prime Sash to research various installation environments and jointly developed dedicated installation frames. Customers can choose between ▲'Window Sill Mount' which installs by hanging on the window sill allowing the indoor window to close ▲and 'Window Rail Embedment' which embeds into the window rail to align with the window line for a slim appearance.

Smart features for convenient product management by consumers have also been added. Through the 'SmartThings' app, users can turn the air conditioner on or off, and the existing Samsung air conditioner features 'Welcome Cooling & Away Care (Energy Saving Notification)' are included. These functions will be available from June after the SmartThings app update.

The 2022 model reduces noise for comfortable use in bedrooms. It applies a 'Twin Inverter' with two cylinders rotating to reduce vibration and noise, and a 'Twin Tube Muffler' using two tubes to decrease refrigerant friction noise. When used in low-noise mode, it achieves about 35 dB, allowing comfortable sleep without noise concerns.

Samsung Window Fit’s outstanding cooling performance remains intact. The 'Double Wind Blade' rapidly circulates cool air with powerful rotational cooling, delivering wind to every corner of the room. Positioned in the center of the product, the double wind blade provides cool air regardless of the window installation direction.

Additionally, it features an automatic internal moisture drying function after each shutdown, an easily detachable and washable filter, and 'Easy Care' functions including 'AI Diagnosis' that self-assesses the condition and provides solutions.

The 2022 Window Fit has a top-tier energy efficiency rating of Grade 1. The digital inverter motor and digital inverter compressor applied to the product come with a 'Lifetime Warranty' service. It is available in four Bespoke colors: White, Beige, Gray, and Blue, with panel replacement options. The price is set at 949,000 KRW (manufacturer’s suggested retail price).

Yang Hye-soon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Home Appliance Business Division, said, "Window Fit, which was first launched last year and gained popularity, has become even stronger this year with enhanced installation convenience and SmartThings connectivity. We will continue to provide a comfortable cooling experience perfectly suited to customers’ lifestyles with not only Window Fit but also a diverse lineup of Samsung air conditioners."

Meanwhile, to commemorate the new product launch, Samsung Electronics is running a promotion supporting installation fees (worth 50,000 KRW) for customers purchasing the product until the 15th of next month. Samsung Digital Plaza nationwide also sells the 'Window Fit Plus' product, which offers product detachment and care services along with the new product.
