NEED TO KNOW
- Cools a bedroom in about 30 minutes
- Remote control and window kit included
- On wheels for easy movement between rooms

This air conditioner packs 8,000 BTUs of cooling power, which is plenty for a guest room, and shoppers say it’s enough to handle even primary bedrooms with high ceilings. This deal puts it at a similar price to Black and Decker’s highly rated window air conditioner despite being far more convenient.
It comes with a remote control to adjust its fan speed and set a sleep timer without having to get up. Meanwhile, the control panel on top also has buttons if you ever misplace the remote. An adjustable installation kit for safely venting exhaust out the window is also included. The wheels on the bottom make for an easy changeover when you need to move it to another room.
Reviewers say it does its job quickly and relatively quietly, with some comparing it to the whirring of a white noise machine.
“Even when I get home and the [temperature] inside is 86, it only takes about 10 minutes [with this unit running], and it’s comfortable enough to sleep,” wrote one reviewer. “30 minutes in and I need a blanket.”
A second reviewer agreed, saying it works wonders on hot nights in their “good-sized bedroom” in California. They also said their room gets “cold enough for a thick blanket” within 30 minutes.
