It's perfect for offices, apartments, and rooms up to 300 square feet; this smart, energy-efficient AC unit delivers up to 8,000 British thermal units (BTU) of cooling power. It comes with both an LED control panel and a remote control for maximum convenience, and you can even set it to run on a timer. It's also equipped with an automatic shutoff, a 54-decibel smart sleep mode, overload protection, self-diagnostic tech, and other nice quality-of-life features.
It features a cooling mode for 90-plus-degree Fahrenheit days, a dehumidifier ("dry mode"), and a fan-only mode with two different fan speeds. The cooling mode uses an eco-friendly, Freon-free refrigerant. Setup takes mere minutes and doesn't require any permanent installation; you can simply use the built-in wheels to roll the unit from one room to the next or stick it in a sliding window from 26 to 50 inches in width.
"I purchased this for a small bedroom, and it does a good job keeping it cool," said one reviewer. "Installation is easy, and it's low-wattage for an AC unit. It's not quiet, but not too loud. I got it on sale and have no complaints. You can find installation guides for it on YouTube."
