1. Midea 5,000 BTU Mechanical Window Air Conditioner
If you only need to cool down a small to mid-sized bedroom, Midea’s 5,000 BTU air conditioner is your best bet. The window unit is fairly basic, but that makes it easy to use. Two knobs allow you to switch between the AC’s fan and air conditioning modes, and select its intensity. Midea says its air conditioner is powerful enough to cool rooms up to 150 sq. ft. and can fit in windows between 23 and 36 inches wide. For nearly $30 off, you won’t find a better air conditioner available right now that’s under $160.

The air conditioner is currently 22% off and even features quiet operation at just 58.7 dBA at its lowest fan setting. The touch screen can easily control the temperature or the fan settings, although there’s no remote control on this model (you can use the app over WiFi, and it also works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa).
It’s got a washable filter too that’s both easy-to-clean and keeps your air free of any bacteria and allergens. Plus, it’s $79 off right now, so you can cool down your room for less.

There are new modes available, allowing your new air conditioner to also function as a dehumidifier and fan. It doesn’t have any smart features, but Whynter’s AC comes with a remote, so you don’t have to use the built-in buttons to switch a setting.
