RTINGS's top budget window AC pick — handles heat and humidity without the premium price tag of inverter models. A solid no-frills option for smaller rooms.
If the Midea U is out of your budget, Frigidaire has been making reliable window ACs for decades. This one won't wow you, but it'll cool your room without drama.
“Look for Frigidaire or Midea U-shaped units - both handle heat and humidity well and don't cycle off prematurely like cheaper models.”
