For one, it features the ProSmart Inverter technology which bolsters substantial energy savings without sacrificing performance. This marquee feature dynamically regulates the compressor speed in response to the users' cooling requirements; in turn, this ensures that the air conditioning unit operates at peak efficiency levels.
Through the real-time adaptation of its output-based demands, the ProSmart Inverter technology optimizes comfort while simultaneously reducing power consumption.

Aside from its Jet Cool feature, the BPVOW-120 also ensures that every corner of the room is supplied with cool air due to its 4D Air Outlet. This is an adjustable panel which allows you to direct the cool air in multiple directions. What's even more interesting is the fact that the unit operates quietly. I was quite amazed how I can even do voiceover recordings without it being detected on the playback.
Maintenance and Sustainability
