Portable Air Conditioners

Purchasing a Portable Air Conditioner

A portable air conditioner offers versatile, convenient cooling where and when you need it. Equipped with caster wheels for easy maneuverability, Frigidaire’s portable AC units are perfect for cooling down a room of your choice in warm weather. You can easily cool your most-used room during the day, for example, and then simply move the unit to your bedroom at night. When temperatures drop, it’s easy to store a small portable air conditioning unit until it’s needed again.

How Do Portable Air Conditioners Work?

Portable air conditioners work by taking in hot air from a room, cooling it, and recirculating it. Some models use a hose installed in a window to vent excess air and moisture. Even with a hose, a portable air conditioning unit is significantly easier to install than a window unit, making it a good choice for rooms that don’t need to be cooled year-round.

Noise level is a common concern when it comes to air conditioners. Are portable air conditioners quiet? The answer is yes—and you can shop by noise level. Most of Frigidaire’s portable ACs are also equipped with Sleep Mode, which offers quiet operation while you rest.

Are There Different Types of Portable Air Conditioners?

Frigidaire offers a range of portable air conditioners with different features and functions to fit your unique lifestyle. Some of our portable ACs offer a dehumidifying Dry Mode to help keep your room comfortable by removing excess moisture from the air. Be sure to shop our full selection of dehumidifiers to take control of the humidity level throughout your home.

WiFi connectivity is another much-loved feature—and with the help of our handy app, you’ll be able to control your portable air conditioner from anywhere, whether that’s on your couch or in your car. Finally, some of our portable AC units come with a supplemental heating function, which allows you to make the most of them year-round.
