In the hot summer, air conditioning has become an indispensable appliance in our lives. Among many brands, Gree and Midea, as the two giants of the domestic air conditioning market, have always attracted the attention of consumers. Recently, the author has personally experienced the two air conditioners of Gree and Midea, and made in-depth comparisons from multiple dimensions such as technical characteristics and user experience, in order to provide reference for everyone's purchase.
Comparison of technical features
Gree Air Conditioner:
Gree air conditioners have always been known for their efficient refrigeration, stable performance and large air volume circulation. Among the new products in 2024, Gree continues to give full play to its technological advantages, and a number of products adopt the new level of energy efficiency standards and frequency conversion technology, such as Gree Yunjin III, Yunyi-II., etc.
High efficiency and energy saving: The third generation of Gree Yunjin adopts a new level of energy efficiency technology, with an energy efficiency ratio of up to 5.32, which not only has excellent cooling and heating effect, but also significantly reduces energy consumption and saves electricity costs for users. Yunyi-II also meets the new level of energy efficiency standards, with an energy efficiency ratio of 4.42, and maximizes electricity savings through triple energy-saving control.
Intelligent control: Gree air conditioners generally support remote control and voice control by mobile phone apps, such as Yunjin III and Yunyi-II., users can adjust the status of the air conditioner anytime and anywhere with simple operation, so as to achieve a convenient experience of smart home.
Health and comfort: Gree air conditioner also has unique features in terms of air supply comfort and health. For example, Yunyi-II is equipped with an 85° wide-angle air supply system and 5 levels of wind speed adjustment function, which has a wide air supply range and uniform airflow distribution, avoiding the discomfort caused by direct cold air. At the same time, its 56°C high-temperature self-cleaning system can effectively remove internal dirt and keep the air fresh and healthy.
Midea Air Conditioning:
Midea air conditioners are loved by consumers for their efficient cooling and heating, intelligent adjustment and humanized design. In the new products in 2024, Midea also demonstrated its strong technical strength.
Intelligent adjustment: The intelligent adjustment function of Midea air conditioner is a highlight. For example, Midea Fengzun II adopts the innovative 180° rotating air duct technology, which breaks through the limitations of ordinary wind deflectors, not only has a larger air volume, but also supports the function of anti-direct blowing up and down, effectively solving the problem of direct blowing of cold air. At the same time, its cool power-saving mode can continuously save energy for 24 hours, which is 25% less than when it is not turned on.
Healthy sterilization: Midea air conditioners also have excellent performance in terms of health. The second generation of Fengzun is equipped with Midea's fourth-generation intelligent cleaning technology, which realizes deep cleaning and sterilization of indoor and outdoor air conditioners through six steps, with an effective sterilization rate of up to 99.99%.
Beautiful and practical: Midea air conditioner has also put a lot of effort into the appearance design, such as Midea's cool power-saving 3 hp air conditioner, its cloud design is not only fashionable and beautiful, but also enhances the heat dissipation effect and improves the operation efficiency.
Comparison of user experience
Gree Air Conditioner:
The experience of using Gree air conditioners can be described as "stable and reliable". Whether it is cooling or heating, Gree air conditioner can quickly reach the set temperature, and the temperature fluctuation is small, and the indoor environment is comfortable. At the same time, its intelligent functions make the operation more convenient, and users can easily adjust the status of the air conditioner through the mobile app or voice control. In addition, the noise control of Gree air conditioner is also excellent, and the low noise during operation creates a quiet environment for users.
Midea Air Conditioning:
Midea's air conditioner gives people the impression of "smart comfort". Its intelligent adjustment function can automatically adjust the temperature and humidity according to the indoor and outdoor environment to achieve precise temperature control. At the same time, the air supply comfort of Midea air conditioner is also very good, such as the 180° rotating air duct technology of the second generation of Fengzun, which effectively avoids the problem of direct cold air blowing. In addition, the self-cleaning function of Midea air conditioner also greatly reduces the maintenance cost of users and improves the user experience.
summary
In terms of comprehensive comparison, Gree and Midea air conditioners have their own advantages in terms of technical characteristics in 2024. Gree air conditioner has won wide acclaim for its high efficiency, energy saving, stable and reliable and intelligent functions; Midea air conditioners, on the other hand, excel in intelligent regulation, healthy sterilization, and humanized design.
The following is based on market feedback to select these two brands of better air conditioners:
