You’ll be able to use this BLACK+DECKER Portable Air Conditioner for more than just the summer thanks to its 4-in-1 operation, which includes a heat setting. However, this portable air conditioner does require regular draining, especially in humid climates, and this requires emptying the collected water into a bucket (not included), your sink, or shower. It has an LED display, as well as a remote control, and you can have it operate automatically with its 24-hour timer. The window bracket that comes with this air conditioner fits openings between 19.4 and 62.2 inches, and the unit has a 5-foot vent hose that lets you arrange it further away from the window, if needed. The unit has a 3-in-1 design that operates as an air conditioner, dehumidifier, or fan, and it offers a variety of settings, including a quiet Sleep Mode that’s ideal for use in your bedroom. If you're looking to cool a larger space, it also comes in several additional sizes, ranging up to 14,000 BTU. If you only have a small space to cool, this moderately priced Midea Portable Air Conditioner offers 6,000 BTU DOE, which is suitable for spaces up to 150 square feet. The main drawback of this unit is its noise level, though-it operates at 58 decibels, which is loud enough to disrupt a normal conversation, but still quieter than your average vacuum cleaner. You can choose from high, medium, or low fan speeds, and there’s even a programmable timer for automatic operation. The unit is mounted on caster wheels for portability, and it has a digital display and remote that make it easy to adjust the settings. This portable air conditioner comes with a window venting kit, complete with insulation tape and an adjustable bracket, and while the kit is designed for standard single-hung windows, the brand also offers instructions on how the AC can be installed in casement windows. Plus, it can be hooked up to a garden hose (not included) for continuous draining, making it more low-maintenance than many other portable ACs. It’s rated at 10,000 BTU DOE, and it’s able to remove up to 53 pints of moisture from the air per day, helping to reduce the humidity in your home on hot summer days.

The Honeywell MN4CFSWW9 Portable Air Conditioner is a top choice for rooms up to 700 square feet thanks to its powerful cooling and dehumidifying abilities. When it’s time to pack the air conditioner back up, there’s a storage tray on the back of the unit where you can easily stash the window kit and hose, making it simple to keep everything together. In terms of installation, the AC comes with a window vent kit that’s easy to install, but keep in mind that the vent hose is fairly short at just 35.5 inches, so the unit has to be close to the window.

Other features include a 24-hour on-off timer, auto-restart after power failure, and a filter check light. It’s mounted on easy-rolling casters for simple movement, and it has an auto-swing air vent that ensures air is distributed throughout the whole room. Thanks to its Wi-Fi connectivity, the unit can even be connected to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, so you can give it voice commands to turn on the AC while you're cooking or working out. This portable air conditioner offers three cooling and fan speeds, as well as an auto cool setting, and you can control it via the digital control panel, LCD remote, or your smartphone via the LG ThinQ app. Also, its sleek outer shell won't be an eyesore in your home. This portable AC is suitable for spaces up to 500 square feet, which is roughly 20 by 25 feet, and it’s rated at 10,000 BTU DOE. Its dual inverter technology uses 40 percent less energy than similar portable air conditioners, and on its lowest setting, the unit is only 44 decibels-significantly quieter than many other units, so it won't disrupt your sleep. The LG LP1419IVSM 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a top choice thanks to its surprisingly quiet operation, smart capabilities, and energy-saving design.
