If you’re dreading the summer months because you want an air conditioner but don’t have much space to put it in, then it might be time for you to check out our guide to the best small portable air conditioners of 2017! For this list, we wanted to consider air conditioners that truly live up to their “portable” name, measuring no more than 30 inches tall, 18 inches across, and 15 inches deep.

If you’ve just finished sweating through your third t-shirt of the day and can’t get off your couch because the leather has welded to your skin, it’s probably time to look into the best portable air conditioner for your money in 2017. But what kind of features set some portable A/C units apart from others, and should you pay the extra penny to get them on your next purchase?

With the summer months officially upon us (or ending depending on the part of the world you’re in) and heat waves bearing down like we’re stuck in the middle of the Sahara, it’s time to start shopping for an upgrade to your old, leaky A/C unit for a Wi-Fi air conditioner which runs, if you’ll forgive the pun, just a little bit cooler.
