About Gree
Gree Electric Appliances is the world's largest residential air conditioner manufacturer by volume - bigger than Daikin, Midea, or any Western brand. Founded in 1991 in Zhuhai, China, Gree produces over 60 million AC units annually across 14 manufacturing bases worldwide. The company went from unknown outside China to global leader in three decades.
TOSOT is Gree's North American consumer brand, selling mini-splits and portable ACs through Amazon, Home Depot, and online retailers. The TOSOT positioning targets the DIY and budget-conscious segment, competing with MRCOOL and other direct-to-consumer brands. Gree also manufactures equipment for other brands under OEM arrangements.
For North American consumers, Gree represents an emerging option with massive manufacturing scale. The company's cold-climate engineering and long-term reliability track record in the U.S. market is still developing compared to established Japanese brands. In mild climates, Gree/TOSOT offers value; for harsh winters, premium cold-climate technology may be worth the investment.
