Don't get us wrong, we're super stoked for summer, but extreme temperatures can be a bit much — especially when you add humidity to the mix. Consider this your reminder to invest in some type of air conditioner before your home feels like a sauna.
Window air conditioners and portable air conditioners are the way to go if you don't want to spend thousands of dollars installing central air, which isn't always an option anyway. It seems Amazon has practically read our minds and marked down tons of AC units that arrive in as little as two days with prices starting at just $140. Keep reading to see our list that includes both window and portable stand-alone air conditioners that shoppers say work quickly to cool down any room.

Unlike most window air conditioners, the Black+Decker Portable Air Conditioner has a hose and window adapter, but the actual unit sits inside your home to ensure all the cool air goes directly into the room. This compact unit doesn't take up a ton of space and can also act as a fan and dehumidifier that's ideal for rooms up to 150 square feet. Plus, it's $80 off right now and backed by more than 23,000 five-star ratings. One reviewer who's had the portable AC for two years described it as a "quiet [and] efficient air conditioner" and said they are buying another.
