Evapolar evaCHILL — $80, was $99
The Evapolar evaCHILL provides personal comfort on a small scale. At just 6.77 x 6.69 x 6.69 inches, it is highly portable and perfect for taking with you on camping trips or other excursions. To use it, just fill up its 800mL tank, which provides about 8 hours of continuous use (though customers report lower times for high-heat scenarios). This makes it perfect for getting to sleep. Plus, since it uses water as a source of chill, it can double as a humidifier. The Evapolar evaCHILL charges via USB cable and consumes less than 10W of power.
Frigidaire FFRA051WAE — $125, was $179
The Frigidaire FFRA051WAE is a window AC with dimensions of 15.25 x 16 x 12 inches. Its 5,000 BTU power makes it perfect for a small bedroom of about 150 square feet. It has dials for both temperature and fan speed, which can be especially useful for night time, if you want to make it a bit quieter (on average it runs at about 52dB). Installation shouldn’t be too difficult due to the three-foot cord and, when put properly into your window, there shouldn’t be any extra dust or bugs in your room. This is due to the AC unit’s side panels and internal dust filter.
GE 250 Sq. Ft., 6,000 BTU — $190, was $250
What’s in a name? As we’ll see with a lot of GE units, just about everything. This is a window unit that cools 250 square foot rooms, which might mean a medium-sized bedroom or small living room. It stands 12.56 inches tall and is 16.43 inches wide. Its major features are a remote control and an “eco mode” that acts like a thermostat, turning off the unit when the room is already cool enough.
Midea MAW08S1WWT — $196, was $262
The Midea MAW08S1WWT is an 8,000 BTU window air conditioner that covers up to 350 square feet of room. Its dimensions are 16.14 x 18.50 x 13.39 inches and it weighs just over 45 pounds. This is considered a smart air conditioner. Part of this comes from that fact that it interacts with Google Assistant and Alexa, making Amazon Echo deals a perfect pair for it. Another part is the ComfortSense remote, which helps the Midea AC automatically adjust its cooling output based on the temperature at the location of the remote. Other niceties include a sleep mode, programmable timer, and a clean filter light.
Dyson AM07 — $270, was $370
If you want an inexpensive way to cool your home without adding dangerous objects that young children could hurt themselves on, this is one of the best Dyson deals for you. The Dyson AM07 uses “air multiplier” technology, which you’ve probably heard called a bladeless fan, as well. It pushes out a continuous stream of air in one of ten settings, with features such as oscillation. The Dyson AM07 stands at just over 3 feet tall and sits on a circular base that is 7.48 inches in diameter. You can use it too cool rooms of up to 800 square feet.
GE 450 Sq. Ft., 10,000 BTU — $300, was $400
A model that is very similar to the GE above, but for a medium-sized room and with some upgraded features. Again, the key stats are in the name. While most things are the same, here are the key differences:
- This one has built-in WiFi instead of a remote.
- You can control it via voice with Alexa or Google smart speakers.
- It stands 14.56 inches tall and fits in windows 25 to 36 inches wide.
GE Smart Portable Air Conditioner — $450, was $560
This GE provides smart, fast, and more effective evaporative cooling. It is rated for 450 square feet rooms and dispenses air at a rate of 185 cubic feet per minute. People find that this unit is able to cool their adequately-sized rooms within just a few minutes. Though this is a portable unit, do be aware of its size (24.75 x 15.25 x 14 inches) and its 51.6 pound weight. You’ll want to find a good spot for it and not move it too often. It is perfect for rooms where you’re uncomfortable keeping the window unlocked for a window unit, such as the bedroom of your child that sleeps downstairs.
GE 700 Sq. Ft., 14,000 BTU — $460, was $540
Finally, a GE window AC for large rooms! Like the previous models, most of the features are in the name. This model also contains advanced features like voice control and built-in WiFi. It is made for windows that can reach 15.56 inches high and have a width between 26.13 and 37.75 inches wide.
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP07 — $600, was $750
For something with a bit more year-round appeal, consider the Dyson HP07. In the summer it cools, in the winter in heats, and it works as one of the best air purifiers all year round. Its HEPA filter is rated to remove 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns in size or larger. One cool factor with this unit is how it responds to changes in air quality in real time, giving you reports on its LCD screen and via the Dyson Link app. The Dyson HP07 stands at 30 inches tall and sits on a circular base that is 5.12 inches in diameter.
