After a hot summer day filled with fun activities, you probably want to relax in a cool, air-conditioned room. Of course, you could sit in front of a fan, or you could be chilled by the breeze of a portable AC unit.
Frankly, the choice is a no-brainer, especially since the highly rated Black and Decker Portable Air Conditioner is on major sale during the first-ever Walmart Deals event. From now until July 11, shoppers can score the normally $382 unit for only $243, a whopping $139 discount.
Its "small yet powerful" design can bring a 150-square-foot room's temperature down to just 61 degrees Fahrenheit in no time. It works quickly and efficiently to filter out warm, muggy air and replace it with a cool, crisp breeze. Oh, and as if it couldn't get any better, it also functions as a three-speed fan and dehumidifier.

Since it also functions as a dehumidifier, you don't have to worry about excess moisture filling your home during the summertime. It can remove up to 50 pints of water every 24 hours, which can also help prevent mold from forming.
This AC comes with a remote control for added convenience and features four multidirectional wheels that allow you to move it from one room to another easily. That means you can have cool air wherever you are in the home to ensure you're always at a comfortable temperature. For a more permanent solution, it also comes with a window installation kit that automatically pulls out warm air and recirculates it to bring down the room's overall temperature. It fits on most standard windows — both horizontal and vertical — and includes an exhaust hose.
More than 250 people have given it a five-star rating and many claim that it's "easy to set up" while others rave that it's worth the money.
"It works as expected and delivers a massive amount of cold chilly air to cut into this 100-degree Texas heat," another shopper said.
The Walmart Deals event only lasts a few more days, so don't miss your chance to buy the Black and Decker Portable Air Conditioner on sale for only $243.
