The units below are powerful enough to cool down one room (we recommend getting a more powerful air conditioner if you have an open space) and come in a variety of styles. We also made sure to pick models that could be installed in apartments or rented homes and didn’t need any special equipment.
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. It’s only discounted by $18, but you won’t find a better air conditioner available right now that’s under $160.
