The summer heat can be unbearable, and the hottest day of the year is being set what feels like weekly. And while fans can work great, there’s nothing like the instant cool that comes from pressing a button and blasting the air conditioner to your desired temperature.

There’s no doubting AC units are worth the investment, but finding the right one for your space can be a challenge. Window air conditioners are popular, but are bulky and unsightly from the outside. Wall AC units require installation, and take up valuable space you could be using for prettier things, like wall planters and pictures of the grandkids.

But when it comes to investment, versatility, and overall ease-of-use, more and more people are opting for portable air conditioners. They come in a variety of sizes and strengths, and can be wheeled from room to room without hurting your back, a feature that, if you ask us, makes them worth every penny.

One reviewer wrote: “This is a very nice unit. I have owned several portable AC units through the years and this 14,000 BTU unit is by far the quietest and efficient unit I’ve ever owned. … I put the unit through a pretty tough test. I placed it in my 300 square foot garage which is un-insulated. I live in South Florida. At the time the garage was 82 degrees. After turning the unit on and setting it to 74 degrees, I shut the door and came back in one hour. The temperature had dropped to 76 degrees! I was amazed at how quickly the unit drops the temperature. Within 30 more minutes, the temperature had dropped to 73 degrees and the compressor had cut off.”

The room is 10×15 and it cooled down significantly in a few hours. The guests noted that it was fairly quiet and more like white noise than annoying. It was easy to set up and easy to regulate.”

One reviewer wrote: “We needed an air conditioner for our upstairs bedroom because it stays warm up there. This one is great because it fits perfectly near the window with the cord being long enough to reach an outlet. It is also Bluetooth which I love because I can change the temperature from my bed. And if I leave it on and go downstairs, I can still check and change the temperature.”
