I wish the US had more ductless air conditioners. Window and wall AC's are old technology, loud, and bulky.

The US is full of large, leaky, poorly insulated houses designed without any mind paid to thermal performance. Until that changes, ductless simply doesn't work for many people.

I think ductless will come on its own as US houses improve.

Not just the US.. A friend of a friend moved to the UK and built a house the way we do in northern Europe. Her neighbors pitied her in the winter because the roof of her house was covered in snow...
