Best air conditioner deals: Portable and window units on sale

Winter may be here, but there are still good reasons to have an air conditioner, especially if you grab something that can also heat a room, although those are a bit rarer and harder to find compared to just having a radiator. Even so, there are still situations where you may want to cool a room, and for that, an air condition can come in handy. Luckily, pretty much all the big air conditioner brands are putting out a huge selection, so you can find some budget-friendly options, as well as portable air conditioners that don’t require a large installation cost. Either way, we’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite air conditioner deals and put them for you below.

Also, if you’re struggling with things like seasonal allergies, check out some of these air purifier deals, and for those who have persistent dry coughs, these humidifiers deals should help a bit as well.

Dyson Purifier Cool TP07 — $349 $650 46% off

Dyson

Dyson is highly regarded for its modern designs, and while the Dyson Cool TP07 is an air purifier at heart, it can also go a long way toward keeping a room cool. Everything Dyson makes is top-notch, including fans, hair curlers, blow dryers, and air purifiers, and that’s the reason why the brand is featured heavily in our top air purifiers for mold issues. It has a lot of power so that it can suck in micro-sized debris from far away. It uses a two-stage filtration process that traps the debris inside, and then it cycles air out through its powerful bladeless fan, cooling up to 1,000 square feet.

Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP07 — $550 $750 27% off

The Dyson Hot+Cool HP07 uses the same technology many high quality Dyson air purifiers use to capture and filter debris from your air, but it’s also capable of keeping the room cool. It’s modestly sized but can still cover a lot of square footage. The fan blows out both cold and hot air, so you can keep it around during colder months as well. It has several different operation modes, including a quiet mode to use while you’re sleeping and a maximum mode when you’re out during the day.

Midea MAW05M1WWT — $114 $144 21% off

LG

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, just be aware that you’ll need My Best Buy Plus to get access to the discount. 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.

.

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.

Evapolar evaCHILL — $80 $99 19% off

Evapolar

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 — $149 $179 17% off

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 Smart Portable Air Conditioner — $512 $569 10% off

This GE provides smart, fast, and more effective evaporative cooling. It is rated for rooms that are 550 square feet and dispenses air at a rate of 185 cubic feet per minute, which should be able to cool even larger rooms pretty quickly. You’ll also want to find a good spot for it and not move it too often since it is a pretty big unit. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi so you can control it from the comfort of your bed, and it even has an auto-restart feature, which is perfect for those who struggle with regular power cuts.
