If you know me, you know I can\u2019t stand the heat<\/a>. I\u2019m a cold-weather guy through and through, and if every day of the year was around 45 degrees, I\u2019d be one happy camper. However, I know I\u2019m in the minority camp on that take, as my Floridian girlfriend likes to remind me. Since she doesn\u2019t mind the heat \u2014 and also needs to put a sweatshirt on when the temperature drops below 75 degrees, we don\u2019t usually blast our window AC units. (Even though we have a super-powerful<\/a>, easy-to-use model, for the record.) Unfortunately, that means I\u2019m usually a sweaty mess when I\u2019m working from home or cooking in the kitchen<\/a>. So, I needed a solution that would help keep me<\/em> cool without making the rest of the house a total icebox. Enter: the iFanze Portable Air Conditioner<\/a>, a $20 solution to my summer heat wave woes. (And, it happens to be on major sale right now!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The iFanze Portable Air Conditioner<\/a> is a tiny tabletop AC unit that sucks in hot air and blows out chilled air using evaporative water cooling technology. It features multi-directional adjustable air vents, and the only thing you need to do on your end is add ice water to the reservoir on top. It\u2019s fairly quiet \u2014 though not completely silent \u2014\u00a0and has three fan speeds. The best part: Since there\u2019s no refrigerant and it only requires a small amount of power, you can operate it with a USB cable!\u00a0(As a heads up, mine looks a little different from the one pictured on the site, but the functions are the same.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Obviously, this air conditioner<\/a> is a great (and affordable) investment for getting through the warmer months of the year. (It\u2019s the only thing that got me through the recent heat wave we had!) It\u2019s also excellent for popping on your desk if you work from home \u2014 especially if you have an outdoor space. I love using it in the kitchen, too, since just turning the burners on makes my kitchen a sauna. To top it off, I also used it on a recent family reunion trip to a cabin in Pennsylvania that had no AC \u2014 I just bought my portable charging block and my Stanley<\/a> full of ice water and I was cool as a cucumber all night long. Plus, I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s been saved from the heat by this little AC unit. \u201cI\u2019ve bought many fans for these very humid temperatures we\u2019ve been having, but they basically all just blow hot air around,\u201d one reviewer writes. \u201cThis little box actually gets pretty cold and feels really good!! I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend [it] to others.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n So, if you\u2019re looking for an affordable, space-saving way to help stay cool during these brutal heat waves that we\u2019ve been having, the tiny iFanze Portable Air Conditioner<\/a> is a surefire bet. Just make sure you get it while it\u2019s still on sale!\u00a0<\/p>\n Buy: iFanze Portable Air Conditioner<\/a>, $19.99 (normally $39.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is the iFanze Portable Air Conditioner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
