Boasting a cooling capacity of 8,000 BTU, this model is the ideal air conditioner for dorms, apartments, cabins, offices, bedrooms, living rooms, and any space sized up to 200 square feet. This unit combines three energy-efficient functions for all of your ventilation and cooling needs with its cool, fan, and dehumidifying modes. By dehumidifying while cooling, the AC is able to keep the air both cool and dry, lessen the humidity in the room, reduce mildew and mold in the air, and block the growth of bacteria in hot and steamy conditions. Its adjustable fan speed does a great job of cooling the air, with 65 degrees Fahrenheit as the maximum setting.

The self-evaporating operation of this Black & Decker air conditioner ensures that your living space remains dry and clean even without buckets or drain pans. You can turn on the Sleep Mode so it runs extra quiet while you work or sleep and to let it adjust the air temperature automatically at night. Easily control the unit through the included simple remote control or the top-mounted LED display.

True to its portable convenience, the Black & Decker BPACT08WT can be wheeled into any room with a siding or double-hung window. Just attach the hose and window adapter and plug it in and it’s ready to cool. Its filter is reusable and slides out easily for quick cleanups.

Dell XPS 15 9530 front view showing display and keyboard deck.

If you're looking at Dell Memorial Day deals for a new laptop, here are a couple of offers that you should consider -- the Dell XPS 13 with a $200 discount that slashes its price to $599 from $799, and the Dell XPS 15 at $300 off, bringing its price down to $1,199 from $1,499.

You need to be quick though, as their prices may go back to normal at any time.
