I Worked Up A Sweat Finding The Best Prime Day Air Conditioner Deals—And They End Today
Amazon Prime Day is an excellent time to invest in new home appliances, but the four-day sale ends today. I've spent many hours over the last three days rounding up the best Prime Day air conditioner deals with the urgency of someone whose own AC was broken. So it bears saying: While the prices remain hot, this is your last chance at scoring any of these Prime Day AC deals. I found that many of our favorite models—ones which we've included in our roundups of the best air conditioners—are still on sale. For example, the Midea Duo Inverter Portable Air Conditioner, which we awarded the best portable air conditioner overall, is $100 off right now. Our top value window model, the Midea EasyCool Window Air Conditioner, is just $150. You can also score $70 off the popular SereneLife SPLAC10 Portable Air Conditioner, our choice for the best value portable model.
From now through July 11, you can save up to 32% off some of our favorite air conditioning units. Illustration: Forbes / Photo: Retailers

This machine is smart, efficient, versatile (it can also dehumidify and heat) and surprisingly quiet, which makes it a great option for areas like bedrooms or a home office. It takes up a bit more floor space than some of our other picks and requires a smartphone app to get the most use out of its controls.
Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the lowest price drop we've seen for this model.
If you're looking for a simple, streamlined cooling solution, we recommend the SereneLife SPLAC10. This lightweight model is easy to set up and works quickly to cool your space. It doesn't have any extra smart features and it's most effective in smaller rooms (around 270 square feet).
Why It's A Good Deal: The model briefly dropped below $300 in April, but this discount is otherwise the best price we've seen since February.
