When it comes to an indoor air conditioner, you have many more options than you may be aware of. Technology has come a long ways recently, driving down the prices of these small portable units and driving up the quality of them as well. You don’t have to suffer through sweltering heat any longer because at prices almost anyone can afford, these indoor units work wonders.
When I was younger I moved to the big city, and I got an apartment at the top of an 18 story skyscraper apartment building. It was a beautiful building but it is very old and it did not have air conditioning. What it did have was window units that were very old and very loud. I didn’t have a whole lot of money so you can imagine that my apartment was very small. In fact, it was a studio apartment that was just one single room.
Being just one room, the small window unit was more than enough to keep the place cool, the problem was that it was so old and it made so much noise, and the room was so small that whenever it ran you couldn’t hear yourself think, and you couldn’t even hear the television unless you turned up the volume so loud that it disturbed everybody on the entire floor.
And it wasn’t like I could just swap out the old air conditioner and stick in a new quieter one because we were 18 floors up! One wrong move and that thing would plummet all the way to the ground and literally kill someone! Besides it was bolted down and I would never have dreamed of climbing out there on the windowsill to try and unbolt it!
The solution was a small indoor air conditioner like the ones I want to discuss today. These things used to be fairly expensive and didn’t used to work all that well but like I said earlier, technology has advanced and today you can find one for as little as $100 all the way up to $500 to $1000 depending on the bells and whistles and just how powerful you need it to be, making these great investments for anybody who’s hot!
SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler: at only $115 this is a great entry-level unit. It contains an evaporative air cooler system, as well as a humidifier and a fan for cooling and humidifier. It uses water to cool the air, and uses oscillating louvers so that you get an even distribution. It comes with a 10 L water tank and it has three air speeds and even a sleep mode that you can set to a half-hour all the way to 7 1/2 hours on a timer. It’s a small unit, measuring only 12 x 16 x 25″ and comes with a one-year warranty which is fantastic. This is a wonderful unit at a very small price. While not technically an air conditioner and more of an air cooler it will nonetheless do a good job for you.
