Our Favorite Air Conditioners

We have been testing air conditioners in real family spaces for years — bedrooms, nurseries, offices, and open living areas. These are the eight models we keep coming back to when we want cooler rooms, quieter operation, and fewer summer complaints.

Whether you are trying to cool a bedroom at night, keep a nursery comfortable, or survive a heat wave without blasting the whole house, a good air conditioner should be quiet, efficient, easy to use, and appropriately sized for the space. We rated each pick for real-life family use, not specs alone.
