Though spring just started, sweltering temperatures are already here, with cities like Denver and Detroit and the entire state of Connecticut recording record highs this month. Before the heat becomes unbearable—and your oscillating fan no longer cuts it—we recommend getting a portable or window air conditioner. Fortunately, Walmart is currently offering discounts on several a/c units, with savings up to 46 percent.
Picking the right air conditioner depends on various factors, like the size and layout of your space. Portable models are popular options because their size and design make it possible to move them from room to room, as long as there’s an outlet and a window for a hose. Walmart has slashed prices on units from Costway, Aglucky, and Midea—including models we’ve personally tested. In fact, we chose this Midea as the best portable a/c for small rooms, given how much space, money, and energy it can save you compared to larger models.
If a window unit makes more sense for your space, you can find discounts on models from TCL, Ktaxon, and Midea. Midea is a standout here, too, making one of our favorite window a/c units (which is also modestly discounted right now on Amazon). While window air conditioners don’t require professional installation, you generally need a friend’s help when mounting one because of the size and weight. Just do your research before making a purchase, because not every model is compatible with every window.

There’s plenty more to choose from if the picks above don’t fit your needs. Say you’re looking for an even more portable cooling solution; wearable air conditioners are also on sale.
