These conflicting viewpoints leave consumers truly puzzled, unsure of whom to trust.
2The Hidden Truth
In reality, the Cool and Dry modes serve different purposes.
While the Cool mode lowers room temperature for cooling and maintains a stable temperature, the Dry mode specifically functions for dehumidification, maintaining the current room temperature without the ability to cool. Therefore, the Dry mode is indeed somewhat more energy-efficient.
Switching to Dry mode may also provide a slightly cooler sensation as the reduced humidity in the room makes sweat evaporate faster, aiding the body in releasing heat quickly. This effect, however, is noticeable only on cooler days with moderate temperatures.

3When to Use the Dry Mode?
Due to the inherently dry environment of air-conditioned rooms, it's advisable to engage the Dry mode only when the room humidity is excessively high, such as rainy days (ideal humidity is between 60% and 70%).
In low-humidity conditions, it's best to avoid the Dry mode as it can dry out the skin, leading to cracks in the lips and feet, especially on hot and dry days like those recently.
A small reminder is to flexibly use the various modes on your air conditioner according to the manufacturer's instructions and perform regular maintenance for stable and energy-efficient operation.
For instance, when going to sleep, consider using the Sleep mode as it not only ensures comfortable sleep but also minimizes energy consumption.
