Window units can be an eyesore, but this powerful, portable air conditioner is actually quite sleek. (Amazon)(Amazon)
You know the relief you get when you open the fridge and let its cool air wash over you on a sweltering day? There's a better way to enjoy that sensation without making your milk spoil: Amazon's No. 1 bestselling Black+Decker Portable Air Conditioner. This wheeled wonder can quickly take spaces of up to 700 square feet from stuffy to refreshing, and it doesn't involve precariously hoisting a heavy appliance into a window, either. But here's something you might find even more impressive — it happens to be $241 off during the Amazon Memorial Day Sale.

Ina Garten herself is a fan of this durable pan, which is made of sturdy cast iron that'll last for decades. It has excellent heat retention for achieving the perfect sear, and since it comes pre-seasoned, you can use it right out of the box. It's compatible with all stovetops, it can be used for campfire cooking and, at just $20, it's an affordable kitchen workhorse you'll reach for again and again.

It's time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this heavily marked-down set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents. Since they're made of borosilicate glass, the containers are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe (just not the lids), and their airtight silicone seals help prevent leaks. We've yet to see them on sale for lower than this.
This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven't seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.
If it's a hands-free vac you're looking for, this little guy costs less than $100 — but you'd never know it, given all its features. From its four cleaning modes and anti-collision sensors to its brushless suction port that'll keep it from getting tangled up, this is one smart machine. Oh, and it can clean for up to 100 minutes before needing a reboot. Get it while it's nearly 70% off.
'Tis the season for unwanted winged houseguests, so before they take over, grab this No. 1 bestselling plug-in insect catcher. It uses UV light to attract bugs, then traps them on a sneaky glue board (don't worry, it's hidden so you don't have to stare at a bunch of dead flies all day!).
Having this popular dryer vent cleaning kit on hand is a great way to minimize the risk of fires, as it'll do a more thorough job than simply wiping the lint out. At over 45% off, it's currently about as low as we've seen it.
Get ahead of sweaty summer nights with this pair of cooling pillows. Thousands of satisfied sleepers rave about their soft, yet supportive feel, and their breathable down alternative fill helps promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. According to the brand, they're suited for all sleep styles, whether you tend to rest on your back, stomach or side.
Hundreds of thousands of Amazon reviewers have given this popular sheet set a perfect rating, and for good reason. Its Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified material is both cooling and breathable to help keep pesky night sweats at bay, and the fitted sheet's deep pockets can accommodate mattress toppers without popping off in the middle of the night.
Does anyone actually enjoy changing their shower liner? These double-sided hooks make the job a lot easier, at least. Slide your curtain over one side and the liner over the other; then, when it's time to swap the liner out, you can just lift it off without getting the curtain involved.
Portable air conditioners — good quality ones, at least — don't come cheap, but they are worthwhile investments if your home feels like a sauna come summer. At 35% off, this model, which is currently $440 (from $681), is down to the best price we've seen since last year. (In comparison, this highly rated A/C costs over $500 and only cools up to 450 square feet.)
If your home isn't equipped with central air and you'd rather not deal with a window unit (join the club), a portable air conditioner is the way to go. This appliance boasts 14,000 BTU (British Thermal Units), which is towards the higher end of the spectrum as far as household A/Cs are concerned. An air conditioner's BTU tells you how much heat it can withdraw from a room, so the higher it is, the more efficiently it'll cool things down. In short, this one packs a chilly punch.
But combatting oppressive temps isn't the only thing it can do; it also has a dehumidifier function to make the air less thick and muggy (the worst). There's a remote you can use to control it from the couch or your bed, as well as a 24-hour timer so it won't make like the Energizer Bunny and just keep going and going...
When it comes to installation, a window kit is included — don't worry, you won't have to lift this unit into the window itself, only the attached hose! And should you want to move it from room to room, it conveniently has castors that make rolling it a breeze. There's also a washable filter, meaning you won't have to keep shelling out for replacements.
Over 4,600 Amazon customers are chillin' at home in comfort, thanks to this model.
"This A/C is absolutely amazing!" exclaimed one (now) relieved shopper. "It has super powers and a 'max mode' my husband dubbed 'menopause mode.' Within powering this baby up, I was shivering within 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this unit if you want the room icy cool in a hot minute."
"I'm 72 and live alone," shared another. "I had it up and running in 10 minutes. ... So far, I'm impressed. I always have a portable A/C unit, as my apartment is sweltering in the summer. It is cooling 400 square feet very well!"
"This product was really great for us," raved a third. "It definitely kept us cool all summer long; we would move it from room to room on occasion, but for the most part kept it stationary, and it kept our 1,200-square-foot apartment cool the entire hot summer! Worth the investment!"
Several reviewers commented on the volume, like this user who wrote, "It does run a little loud, so sleeping with one in the room might be tough for those who aren’t used to noise when sleeping. We already use noise machines and fans, so this wasn’t too much of a difference."
"My only real complaint is the remote control," shared a final fan. "Not in its functionality, but in its design. The LCD screen really needs some sort of illumination. Forget about reading the remote screen in a dimly lit room. ... It's not like I need to read the remote screen repeatedly or even frequently. I can live with it. But if they wanted to improve anything, it would be the illumination of the remote screen."
And when it comes to the quality of the air you're breathing in...
