Portable Air ConditionersIf you're looking for a simple, versatile option for cooling a room and you can't or don't want to install a permanent air conditioning unit, a portable air conditioner can be a great solution.Portable air conditioners are very easy to install, with a venting hose that's placed in a window to remove warm air and side expansion pieces designed to accommodate different sized windows. They often have wheels and are easy to move from one room to another, so you can get cool air whenever you need it.Before buying a portable air conditioner, figure out how much cooling power you need, based on the size of the room where you'll be using it. A 150 - 350 square foot room needs about 5,000 - 6,000 BTUs, a 400 - 600 square foot room needs about 7,000 - 8,000 BTUs and a 600 - 950 square foot room needs about 9,500 - 12,500 BTUs.Also, consider what other features you may want. In addition to cooling, many portable air conditioners offer dehumidifying, purification and heating functions.

You may also want a model with a remote control so that you can change the temperature and other settings from wherever you are in the room.At Walmart, you'll find Every Day Low Prices on portable air conditioners as well as other heating, cooling and air quality supplies. Air ConditionersAn air conditioner offers a great way to keep your home cool in hot weater. To find the best air conditioner for you, you'll first have to determine how much space you need to cool. An air conditioner's cooling power is measured in BTUs, which will tell you how large an area it will cool. For example, a 5,000-6,000 BTU air conditioner will cool 150-350 square feet, while a 13,000-21,000 BTU air conditioner will cool 950 to 1,200 square feet.You'll also have to decide whether you want a window air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner or a portable air conditioner. Window air conditioners are fairly easy to install and usually cool 1-2 rooms. The best model for you will partly depend on whether you have vertically or horizontally opening windows.

Wall-mounted units are a bit more work to install and usually require either a built-in box or brackets, which are screwed into the wall. Portable air conditioners require minimal installation and can be easily moved from one room to the next.warranty on goodman ac unitsShow filters Sort by Most relevant Most helpful Newest to oldest Oldest to newest High to low rating Low to high ratingfan coil unit ecm motor Age 18-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65 and older Gender Male Female Verified purchaser This was an August 10 birthday gift for my art room which is the size of an average bedroom. air conditioner window unit 10 000 btuMy window is wider than specified, but we just added a wood insert on each side of the unit. Per instructions - turn on full force and then adjust down for comfort once the room is cool.

Fed Ex delivery worked out perfectly and it was actually delivered two days before estimate. Yes (8) No (2)  Report Yes (8) No (2) Verified purchaser Lightweight, easy to install. I would have given it 5 stars but its slightly in the noisey side. Luckily I find the noise soothing. Yes () No ()  Report Yes () No () I like white noise, but this air conditioner is too loud on high, but on a really hot day it needs to be on high to cool down the room and it took a long time to do that. For that reason alone, I am taking it back to the store because it is too loud for the amount of air it cools. But I also was dismayed to find that both side panels would not fit in my window. My window frame is 23 inches, but I guess my window itself is only 21 inches, so I couldn't use both panels if I wanted the AC to fit in the window. And one of the screws would not tighten; it just kept spinning in the hole. So now there are only three screws holding the unit in place, which doesn't make it as secure as I would like, but there is also a gap along the top of the unit where the top bar does not meet the top of the unit, so air and bugs and whatever else come in.

And I can't drill holes in the window frame or window ledge because I rent my apartment. All in all, not a good purchase. Yes () No ()  Report Yes () No () Verified purchaser This unit is excellent and totally met my expectations. I tried another brand (Haier) and it failed to cool my 120 sq. ft. bedroom. It also had very unsatisfactory directional air-flow control. The Frigidaire 5,000 BTU FFRA0511R1 has more than enough cooling capacity. I only run the blower at high speed to initially bring the room to the desired temperature, then run it at low speed to maintain the level of comfort I require. The air-flow directional control is exceptionally easy to adjust and it has a full range to allow directing the air from left to right. I couldn't ask for a better air conditioner. It was a good value as well. Yes () No (4)  Report Yes () No (4) Verified purchaser I got this to slip into the chassis of a 7800 BTU Panasonic that died at the beginning of a heat wave. I did not feel like pulling out the chassis and working in hot weather.

I put this in, put foam insulation around the gaps, and turned it on. I cannot believe it is only 5000 BTU. It is keeping a large bedroom comfortable. The fan is noisy, (it is not a deep unit so the fan mechanism is right up front) but the compressor is almost silent. No frills - manual not digital controls. It is sometimes sold for $119. Yes () No (2)  Report Yes () No (2) Verified purchaser This unit works really well and cools the bedroom to almost too cold. We cannot turn it on high cool or turn the temp all the way cold because it freezes us out! One reviewer stated that you had to put your ear up to it to see if it is on and I have to say that is NOT true. It is not obnoxiously noisy but you can most definitely here it running. I think it was well worth the money and would purchase it again should I ever need another!

It was light enough for me to install it myself (I'm a middle-aged woman) but is very powerful. I'm very pleased at how quickly it cools the room. Make sure you have a three-prong outlet near the window you are installing the air conditioner in. The manual says not to use an extension cord or an adapter.
