Frigidaire’s mini model promises to cool down rooms up to 150 square feet and has a low-power startup mode, made to conserve energy so you’re not shelling out hundreds to stay cool. Seriously, think about all the Rosé Cider you can buy with the money you’re not spending on your electric bill.

On top of the money saved, reviewers could not stop raving about how well this little machine cooled down their rooms on hot summer nights.

“It's been in the 80's and I've used it every night for two weeks. I only need to turn it on a half hour before I sleep and the room is very comfortable,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “If I put in on Low Cool and number 4 to 5 it keeps the room at a steady 71 degrees all night!”

Even our editors on our board. GoodHousekeeping.com’s Home Editor, Lauren Smith uses this unit is her own apartment and says it cools down way more square footage than it promises. Our Associate Editor, Caroline Picard, also uses it and was super impressed by how easy it was to install. You only need a screwdriver!

On top of user testimonies, Amazon’s stats around the unit don’t lie. It’s the number one best seller in the “Window Air Conditioner” category and has over 2,100 reviews that are four stars or better. On top of that, Amazon says that fewer than 10% end up returning this model after they buy.
