Has the summer heat turned certain rooms of your house into saunas? Amazon’s sales charts show you’re not alone.

The 5,000 BTU unit is ideal for cooling down small bedrooms, home offices, and other rooms up to 250 square feet. Reviewers say it can drop the temperature by 20 degrees in about 15 minutes.

Operating this air conditioner is as basic as can be because it eschews bells and whistles like a remote control and smartphone connectivity for two classic knobs — one controls the temperature setting and the other adjusts the operation mode. (If a remote control is a must-have, the slightly more powerful 6,000 BTU model is also on sale for a great price right now at $189.)
One reviewer called the smaller unit a “game changer in 95-degree [Farenheit] summer heat.” They also added, “I have a second-floor bedroom that faces the sun, and I’m now cool all day long —no more sweating miserably in bed at night.”
The unit itself is pretty compact at just 16 inches wide and 12 inches tall, and weighing just over 35 pounds. It includes adjustable side panels to securely fit into most window sizes. Another thoughtful feature that makes installation safer and easier is the extra-long power cable (it’s longer than 6 feet) that should keep you from needing an extension cord. Shoppers note a single person can install it in as little as 10 minutes using just a screwdriver.
“My once stuffy and hot room can now be freezing within minutes,” wrote a second reviewer who called the installation “very easy.” Another shopper said the unit has kept one bedroom “super cold” despite it typically being the hottest room in the house.
Frigidaire backs this air conditioner up with a one-year warranty if you have any mechanical issues, making the $169 price tag even more appealing. Snag the Frigidaire Window Air Conditioner while it’s on sale, then scroll on to see more deals on window air conditioners at Amazon.
