When summer comes, we all need a foolproof way to keep cool. And sure, there are lots of ways to do that: go for a swim, eat a popsicle, use lighter sheets at night. But the best way to do that is simply to have a powerful air conditioner at home, ready to cool you off whenever you need it.
However, that begs the question: which air conditioner should you invest in? They’re not cheap, so you need to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the best machines on Amazon that are worth your while!
Check out the list below and pick out your perfect window unit. It’s that easy!
MIDEA MAW05M1BWT Window Air Conditioner
Let’s start with the Midea window air conditioner: it’s a fast-cooling 5,000 BTU (cooling capacity) conditioner that can cool a room up to 150 square feet. That’s a perfect size for your office or bedroom; somewhere you’re sure to need a decent cooling system. With 7 temperature settings and a 2-way air direction, this compact machine is great for those of you looking on the more affordable end of things.
TOSOT 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner
This window air conditioner is a little more heavy-duty, which is what both its abilities and price reflect. Running at 12,000 BTU and ideal for cooling spaces up to 550 sq. ft, the TOSOT air conditioner turns a hot room cold at high speeds. Plus, not only does it function as an air conditioner, but it also has settings for fan-only and dehumidifying.
Keystone 5,000 BTU Window-Mounted Air Conditioner
The Keystone is another smaller air conditioner like the first one, though it comes in different sizes (and cooling capacities) if you’re looking to level up its power. It also comes with a follow-me LCD remote control, so you’ve got command over your conditioner no matter where you are. Handy, right?
hOmeLabs 10,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner
This device definitely steps up the power at 10,000 BTU, and it comes with multiple cooling functions: cool, dry, fan, ECO and sleep mode. It’s great for a single bedroom, office, or living room of up to 450 square feet, and it has both a remote control and digital display for ease of use.
Haier 8,000 BTU 115-Volt Smart Window
This air conditioner is actually pretty cool (no pun intended!) It comes in 6 different sizes, ranging from 6,000 BTU to 18,000 BTU, and even better, it’s a “smart” air conditioner. That means it’ll connect to your smartphone, and it’s compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Homekit. With digital controls, 3 cool speeds, 3 fan speeds, and 2-way air direction, you really can’t go wrong!
FRIGIDAIRE White 17″ Window Air Conditioner
The Frigidaire window air conditioner is another 5,000 BTU that covers about 150 square feet. This one also has adjustable side panels that’ll extend out to best fit your window, so you never have to worry about it being incompatible! The conditioner maintains the room temperature once cooled, so you stay comfortable.
GE Smart Window Air Conditioner
This heavy-duty 10,000 BTU Energy Star-certified air conditioner comes with a wifi connection; it’s yet another conditioner that you can control from your smartphone with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Homekit. It can quickly cool down and dehumidify a room to get you through those long summer days.
TCL Window Air Conditioner
The TCL is one of Amazon’s choices for window air conditioners, and it’s easy to install and use. While this is the smallest conditioner available at 5,000 BTU, the TCL models go all the way up to 15,000 BTU if that’s more along the lines of what you’re looking for!
BLACK+DECKER Portable Air Conditioner
For something a little different, check out this Black + Decker portable air conditioner! It’s still a window conditioner, and a fairly strong one at that (8,000 BTU) but in a smaller, more portable size. It’s perfect for smaller rooms that need to be kept cool and can function as an air conditioner, fan, and/or a dehumidifier. Cool, huh?
Midea U Inverter Window Air Conditioner
Available in models boasting 8,000 to 12,000 BTU, the Midea inverter is particularly adept at energy conservation compared to other air conditioner models – so much so that it’s got the Energy Star Most Efficient 2020 Certification. Add to that its wifi-enabled smart control and its quiet design that’ll let anyone get a good nights’ sleep, and you’ve got one powerful machine!
