In the swelter of summer, you can try and beat the heat in several ways. But one of the most convenient and effective is in setting up your home, apartment, studio, etc. with its own air conditioning unit. Recently, one of our editors fell in love with the TikTok-famous, viral Windmill Air Conditioner, which happens to be on sale right now for $40 off—making this the perfect opportunity to cool off in the comfort of your own home for far less than you might expect to spend.
There were a lot of things our editor loved about this particular air conditioner — from its high output to its handy remote control to its whisper-quiet operation — but the thing they loved the most is the array of smart features. With an accompanying app, you can control the unit in real-time, set up a schedule so it will turn itself on and off automatically, and you can even specify precise temperature and power output. That's a lot of tech for a window unit, the kind you might expect from a whole-home central air system. And it makes the 10 percent discount even more enticing.
Of course, that's hardly the only portable home A/C you can get on sale right now. Head over to Woot and you'll find a bunch of refurbished units for far less than normal—like this GE one, which is down by $250. There are also a bunch of deals over at Amazon and at Walmart if that's more your speed. Whichever you choose, you'll want to buy soon, as the summer heat is only going to get worse and these deals might just evaporate in the meantime.
