Sometimes, a simple ceiling fan won't do when it comes to lowering your body temp during an incredibly hot summer (read: summer of 2023). This is where Amazon comes in clutch. As of July 31, the mega-retailer is offering some not-to-miss deals on portable AC units for you to stay, as Demi Lovato once said, cool for the summer.

Best affordable AC deal

Why we like it

This AC from Black+Decker will provide you with powerful, cooling coverage of up to 350 square feet, without dropping over $300 for it. It can be easily moved from room to room thanks to its handles and also has a slide-out filter which you can wash. Other cool features of this AC include its accompanying remote that can flip through the various settings (such as the night mode) and an LED display on the top that reads out temperature metrics.

Best AC for large spaces deal

Why we like it

The Whynter ARC-14S AC unit is mighty and perfect for larger spaces (it works for rooms up to 500 square feet). Considering it has three modes (Cool, Dehumidify, and Fan) and 14,000 BTUs of cooling power, this AC is surprisingly quiet. Oh, and it comes with a protective storage bag for when winter comes around and those temperatures start to feel normal again. What's not to love?

Best multifunctional AC deal

Why we like it

The SereneLife SLPAC8 Portable Air Conditioner is one versatile appliance with cooling, dehumidifying, and fan features. It's also equipped with "swing mode," which ensures optimal air circulation throughout your whole room. It's sleek (or at least as sleek as AC units can get) and has rolling wheels which make transport in the house a breeze. Enjoy its literal breeze while this SereneLife AC is on sale at Amazon.
