Essentially, a portable unit is an air conditioner on wheels, which connects via hoses to an adjustable panel that fits over your window frame. This makes these devices not only portable, but extremely flexible for oddly shaped windows, oddly placed windows, and even vertical sliding windows.
The best portable air conditioner we’ve fully tested at WIRED is the Zafro Lullaby, which has a smart inverter for low-energy, drain-free use unless you live in a swamp. The Prime Day discount is up to $95, depending on how powerful your air conditioner is. The 12,000 BTU version fits most offices and bedrooms It’s just $400 right now. Our Trade Director, Martin Cizmar, is a true believer in this Zafro. After testing it for a few weeks, he wrote that he wasn’t convinced it wasn’t the best air conditioner he’d ever used, and that it had been a lifesaver in the unusually shaped window in his office. They’re easy to install, although they’re not quite as quiet as the best window units below.
