If you live in a rental unit or an old construction house, you might not have AC in every room—and that can be torture when the hot humidity of summer rears its head and kicks in full force. Before spending thousands on a full-blown upgrade, though, maybe try a portable AC unit.
Right now, you can get this Black+Decker portable AC for $349 on Amazon, which is a decent $50 discount on its original price. It has a cooling power of 12,000 BTU, which is more than your average portable AC and suitable for rooms up to 550 sq. ft.
To make things even better, you can use it year-round for its other two functions: fan and dehumification. The 3-in-1 design means you won’t have to hide it away for three seasons of the year, and you can get the most out of it. The handle and casters make it easy to roll from room to room as needed, and it comes with a remote control for conveniently changing temperatures, setting timers, switching modes, etc.
As with any portable AC unit, you’ll need a window for the heat exhaust. What’s nice about this model is that it comes with a window kit that has everything you need to install and seal for best performance.
Grab this B+D portable AC for $349 on Amazon before the sweltering summer heat kicks in and smothers you!
