Smart Home Air Conditioner

With a sleek design and a host of smart features, this pick is easy on the eyes on top of being very functional, according to our experts.

The A/C unit is Wi-Fi-enabled, easy to install, and even has voice command built in. You can use the Wi-Fi connection to set temperatures before you get home through the connected app. The unit also blasts air at a 45-degree angle, so if it's next to your bed or couch, you won't bear the brunt of the breeze.

LW6017R Window Air Conditioner

While we haven't gotten our hands on this pick, it's a promising option that offers a 6,000 BTU for cooling down larger spaces.

The window unit features an energy-saving mode, a 24-hour on-off timer, a remote to control from a distance, and more. There's also a dehumidifying ability built in, removing 2.2 pints of moisture per hour, which keeps you cool without having to lower the temperature and use more energy.

Dual-Hose Portable Air Conditioner

While this model hasn't yet been tested by our team, it shows lots of promise, and our colleagues at Good Housekeeping highly recommend it.

The dual-hose intake and exhaust system help this air conditioner cool your space faster and produce less condensation, since it uses outside air instead of the AC's internals. We consider it a heavy-duty pick, given its amperage and BTU capacity (it weighs about 80 pounds).

Electronic Window Air Conditioner

GE claims this unit is best suited for rooms of about 250 square feet with a 6,000 BTU capacity. The window unit has three cooling modes and three fan speeds, as well as a slide-out filter to make cleaning a simple process.

The front panel gives you easy access to temperature and fan speed control. And on sale for less than $210, it's a budget-friendly pick.
