With heatwaves sweeping the nation, especially the Midwest and Northeast, keeping cool is important for your health and comfort this summer. If you spend a lot of time at home, that can be difficult without an air conditioner — that's why this incredible deal on the Black+Decker Portable Air Conditioner is so worth it.

At almost $50 off, this is the best price this air conditioner has seen since last year. It's also somewhat uncommon to find worthwhile cooling appliance discounts as the summer gets hotter, making this deal even better. If you have yet to get an air conditioner yet, this deal makes it so that you won't have to pay a premium for buying one so late.

In our guide to the best portable air conditioner, we love this model for its versatility year-round. It's incredibly easy to set up and offers sweet cooling that came second to only our top pick during testing. Perhaps the strongest selling point of the Black+Decker Portable Air Conditioner is that it's an appliance you'll be able to use during the winter chill, too. Unlike other units that need to be stored in a closet after summer, this one offers a heating mode that will have you using it throughout the year.

If you live in a warmer area or already have a heating appliance, don't worry: you can pick up a cooling-only unit with a similar discount.
