Hisense 8,000 BTU Inverter Window AC
#4 in WindowFull review
A solid inverter pick for a bedroom up to 350 sq ft if you value the two-year warranty. Otherwise the TCL Q-Series does the same job for less.

#13 in PortableFull review
A compact portable for a small room where a bigger unit won’t fit; most buyers get more cooling per dollar elsewhere.
