What Samsung is known for
Samsung's signature feature is WindFree, which spreads air through thousands of small holes in the front panel instead of a strong draught. It is mostly a cooling feature, aimed at people who dislike air blowing on them.
Control through the Samsung SmartThings app is another draw if you already use Samsung devices.
The range in New Zealand
Expect high-walls, multi-splits and ducted systems. Ask the installer which models they stock and whether they handle Samsung warranty work locally.
Who it suits
A good fit for bedrooms and living areas where direct airflow bothers you, or for homes already set up with SmartThings. Compare heating output in cold weather against other brands on your shortlist.
What to ask before you buy
- Which models in the range suit my room size and climate?
- What is the heating output at low outdoor temperatures?
- What warranty applies to parts and labour, and does it need regular servicing?
- Is Wi-Fi or app control included, or an add-on?
- Do you install this brand regularly, and who handles warranty work?
