For many folks, getting a traditional AC unit with an external compressor can be hard, either because it’s too expensive or they don’t have the space or access to install one. Thankfully, portable air conditioners are pretty good, and Wayfair has a great sale on them and other Way Day appliance sales, so it’s the perfect time to pick one up.
