Summer is in full swing, and with temperatures rising almost everywhere, staying cool is a priority. Whether you lack central air or you just have certain spots in your house that could use a boost on the hottest days, portable air conditioners can be a big help. Right now Amazon has slashed prices on a number of brands, with discounts of up to 57%. We don’t know how long this offer will last, so we recommend making your purchase sooner rather than later.
