About Snapcool Air Conditioner
Snapcool is an air conditioner designed for home use. The filter is inspired by a tape measure and can be rolled up or unfolded with a single tap on the screen. The screen shows the real-time dust level of the filter, and the dust bin can be pulled down for removal. An orange puller marks the filter compartment and draws attention to the filter status. The filter can be rinsed with water and reused. Side wall air intake increases the air intake area, and the round air outlet angle can be adjusted by phone. The unit measures 400 by 80 by 400 millimeters.
