Which Brands of Patio ACs Will Serve You Best This Summer?

If you’re hoping to hang around outside without being overwhelmed by summer temperatures, then the use of a patio AC is a great solution. There are many different types on the market, so let’s look at the best brands and an example of each.

Hessaire MC37M Portable

This awesome little unit delivers 3,100 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air, allowing it to cool off a total of 950 square feet. With its simple functionality and portability, you can move it around your patio or to other small areas of your home (either inside or outside) that are a little too warm.

Honeywell CO48PM

This evaporative cooler is recommended for areas up to 620 square feet, making it perfect for patios, gardens, and even backyard barbecues. The top-loading ice compartment and hose connection make it easy to operate and highly effective in a wide array of situations.

Whynter ARC-14S

Awarded Good Housekeeping’s 2020 Best Overall in the area of portable cooling units, this baby is small but really packs a punch. Use it as an air conditioner, a dehumidifier, or a fan depending on your specific needs. If that doesn’t sell you, then perhaps the fact that this potential patio AC uses eco-friendly refrigerant will do the trick.

Frigidaire Cool Connect

With Wi-Fi capability and a Frigidaire smart app for mobile operation, this cooling unit is just what tech-savvy homeowners need to keep their patios cool during the summer. It features three fan speeds and uses 360° airflow that helps the cool air reach all corners of a room much more quickly.

Black+Decker BPACT08WT

This portable patio AC unit is designed for smaller areas up to 150 square feet. If your patio isn’t very sizable, this may just be the perfect choice. You can easily move it to any room, attach the hose, and plug it in. This unit also features three functions: cooling, fan, and dehumidifying, so you’ll have plenty of options.
