GE ASM08LK Air Conditioner

It's not much to look at, but in this heat who cares, right? The important things about this GE air conditioner are that it's got 8,000 glorious BTUs, a slide-out chassis (so it can fit most windows), an exterior support bracket, an energy saving mode, and a built-in timer. And Consumer Reports calls it a "Best Buy" for midsize window units. Like all good appliances these days, the GE comes with a remote control, but we think that takes the fun out of standing directly over the A/C vents on a 95-degree day. More air conditioners.

Haier ESA3105 Air Conditioner

Summer doesn't officially start for another week, but it's already getting hot in some parts of the country. If it's time to upgrade the air conditioner, consider this Haier window unit, a Consumer Reports "Best Buy" that's also quiet. The 10,000 BTU air conditioner features a slide-out chassis (so it will fit most windows), 2 cooling and 2 fan settings, a digital display, and an energy-saver mode. It even comes with a remote control (another energy-saving mode).

LG Slim Profile Window Air Conditioner

Compact, lightweight, and quiet, this slim LG air conditioner cools up to 250 square feet with its 6,000 BTUs of power. It's only 12" high and will fit windows up to 39" wide without obstructing your view of the alley. It's got 3 fan speeds, a 12-hour timer, a washable and reusable air filter, and somehow knows to restart itself in case of a power outage. It's not the cheapest window unit out there, but it's well worth the money. More LG air conditioners.
