Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, and has us reinstalling our window AC units. If your model is outdated or you just barely made it through last summer, now’s the time to shop. We’re seeing early Memorial Day sales on plenty of window units that can cool everything from small bedrooms to big living rooms. One style that’s popular with renters is the U-shaped window air conditioner.
They work like any other window AC unit—pull in warm air, cool it, and shoot it back into the room while pushing heat outside—but with a better design. Typical box-window AC units have most of the machine hanging out your window, somewhat precariously, obstruct your view, and keep you from opening your window for a summer breeze.
A U-shaped window AC hangs on the window sill, half inside, half outside, for a balanced installation. Plus, you can still see outside. Most units double as fans, and many now include dehumidifier modes, which is something you’ll appreciate on soupy days. Along with window AC units, we’ve tested ductless splits and portable models—suffice it to say, we’ve done the homework for you. Here are the U-shaped window AC units worth shopping this weekend.
