Mollget

This portable air conditioner is a bit different from the others on the list. It’s designed to be more of a “personal air cooler” rather than an entire-room air conditioner. It has a 1,400-milliliter tank that you fill with cold water or ice, which cools the air that blows toward you. It’s a small unit that you can keep on your desk, but it has several speeds and features you can control with the included remote. Be sure to clip the coupon for full savings.
