The heat has been pretty intense lately, as we're sure you've noticed (even Death Valley recently experienced record-breaking temperatures). So it's completely understandable if you're feeling like the inside of your home is hotter than you'd like it to be. But the good news is you're not without options to cool your house down—and one of those options is currently on sale on Amazon.

Blast some cool air into your space while saving a little money with the Whynter ARC-14S Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner. Rated one of the best portable air conditioners, this Whynter model is 28 percent off on Amazon right now, making it well under $500.

"This Whynter’s amperage and BTU capacity position it firmly in the heavy-duty cooling category," our senior home editor Roy Berendsohn wrote about the ARC-14S in our guide to the best portable ACs. Considering how hot it's been lately, serious cooling is just the ticket.

This AC is a dual-hose unit, and one of the benefits of having two exhaust hoses over one is that it can help cool down your space a little faster. This particular model was named the best dual-hose AC in our guide, and it is designed to cool an area as large as 500 square feet. Plus, this unit can achieve temps as low as 61 degrees Fahrenheit, though it also can go up as high as 89 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your preference. But it can do more than just cool down the room: It also has the capability to dehumidify and be used as a fan for days when those would suffice, making it an economical choice as well.

So if you're without built-in air conditioning or central AC at home, or perhaps your in-home unit has been known to act up, this Whynter portable AC could be just what you need right now to keep your space cool, and best yet, it's under $500.
