If you need more than just a window AC unit, a portable air conditioner is the answer. Invest in one of these lab-tested units to find the best for your money.

Wait until it's fully dry before putting it back into your window AC unit. It's also a good idea to replace your air conditioner filter regularly.

Hitachi Air Conditioners manufactures climate control systems for residential and commercial use. Its product range includes split, window, and portable air conditioners.
