We have to buy a window unit for our house. We have Central AC but it’s not keeping up and we can’t afford to upsize it right now. So until then I’m researching which window units to buy. Any advice or anything to cut through all the marketing spam and AI copy that I have to wade thru?

    get one rated for the room size.

    I have one for an attic room that gets around 100°F without one. it’s about 100sqft and I’m running a 9000BTU system. with the unit it stays around 71-74°.

    stay away from “Mr cool”. they’ve had lots of defects from factory.

    I would get something local, probably Walmart. reason for that, if you have any problems you can just take it back.
