Two best selling air conditioners, 5,000-8,000 BTUs



Get this Frigidaire window air conditioner (model #FRA052XT7) for just $119.99 with free shipping.  This air conditioner is 5,000 BTUs, so it will cool off small rooms that are 150 square feet or less.  It's got an antimicrobial filter that reduces bacteria, room odors, and other airborne particles, and a pleated quick mount window mounting kit that makes it easy to install in your window.  It got 4.1 out of 5 stars over 863 customer reviews.



If you've got a larger room, this Frigidaire Energy Star window-mounted 115V mini-compact air conditioner with temperature sensing remote control (model #FFRE0833Q1) is $239.99 with free shipping.  It's 8,000 BTUs, so it will cool a room up to 350 square feet.  It got 4 out of 5 stars over 22 customer reviews.

Both of these air conditioners are Amazon #1 Best Sellers.

When shopping for an air conditioner, make sure you match up the size of the room to the number of BTUs of the unit. These are the recommended BTU's for a given cooling area from Consumer Reports:
  • Small room: 5,000 - 6,000 BTU for 100-300 sq. ft. 
  • Medium room: 7,000 - 8,200 BTU for 250-550 sq. ft. 
  • Large room: 9,800 to 12,500 BTU's for 350-950 sq. ft. area.
When buying an air conditioner unit, I like to stick to well-known brand names like Frigidaire, LG, or Freidrich.  Buying one online has the huge advantage of cheap or free shipping deals for a very heavy item, whereas ordering them from a brick-and-mortar store will usually entail a delivery fee.
