If the summer heat has you staying indoors, we’ve found the perfect companion to help you stay cool. This popular portable air conditioner from Shinco features a nifty remote control and uses casters to glide across the floor. It also doubles as a dehumidifier, and according to one reviewer, it doesn’t just keep your space cool, it keeps it “hotel room cold.” The portable air conditioner is beloved by reviewers for its easy setup and exceptional cooling capabilities. Right now, it’s available 10% off saleby lowering its price up to $242.99 — the lowest price we’ve seen this year and a pretty low price for a luxury hotel room.

This unit comes with all the necessary parts to mount to a window, including an exhaust hose, and requires no tools to install. You can adjust its grille to determine the direction air is blown, and its remote control can be used from up to 23 feet away.

“I’ve had mine for almost a year now and I have nothing negative to say about it,” says one reviewer. “No leaks, no malfunctions, pretty much ready to use. The remote works easily, the air blows powerfully, it can cool AND dehumidify at the same time.”

The only negative point that some users have mentioned is the volume, which some find very loud. However, some customers note that they like the noise and compare it to that of a fan, which helps them sleep in otherwise quiet rooms.

This Shinco air conditioner can help you combat sweat if you need to stay cool this summer. If you need an extra nudge to take advantage of this deal, read on for more promising reviews.

“Our bedroom stays warmer than the rest of the house, even with central air conditioning. We didn’t want a window unit and only needed it for our bedroom when we went to bed. This thing makes our room COLD. I’m talking about a cold hotel room! You can adjust the temperature very easily with a remote control. Yes, the button stays on but it’s not great (coming from someone who hates lights when I’m trying to sleep), the noise is incredible for a fan sleeper! We are so happy with our purchase!” — Nikole Caitlynn Hardy

“I’ve had mine for almost a year now and I have nothing negative to say about it. No leaks, no malfunctions, pretty much ready to go right out of the box. The remote works easily, the air blows powerfully, it can cool AND dehumidify at the same timeThe only thing I could fault is that the noise is a little louder than I expected, but it’s not too bad and if you like the sound of the fan while you sleep, it’s satisfactory. I can understand that it might be heavy to move, especially to drain for some people, but it has a nice handle and the weight is balanced.” — Gavin

“IThis is exactly what Texas needed for the heat and humidity. This air conditioner is awesome. It easily cools my room, which is quite large. Easy to install. Low noise, kind of like a quiet hum. Love the remote. I have it on one side of my room, near the window of course, and I never have to get up to change the temperature or speed. I thought it would take a long time to empty but I use a bottle of Bliss fabric softener with the drain hose and only have to empty it every 2-3 days. I am glad I purchased this product for cool nights and a comfortable sleep. Great product. This is my second year and it is amazing.” — Tori

“I have been using this product since August 23rd to combat the Florida heat and it is great. The best part about this machine is its automatic evaporation system. There is no need to run a hose into a bucket or out a window, making it much easier to move and set up. “I wish the larger versions had this option.” — MrBusses

“Well, my room gets awfully hot at night, and I thought this would be a good solution. The problem is, it works too well. I love it. If you like sleeping in a freezer like I do, then this is for you. It has a weird new smell at first, but that will go away after a few uses. I’m serious, this will put frost on your balls. I have it in my bedroom, and I also like that it’s not that big, so I can move it around if I want. It also helps keep the rest of my house cool if I open my bedroom door and put a fan in there to circulate the air. I highly recommend this product!” — Steve

“Works great for the small area I’m using it for. Installation was easy. It allows air to circulate better than when I was just using fans. It’s a little heavy but it’s fine for the space I need it for. I wish the water drain hose was a little longer, but that’s fine too.” — Kindle Customer
