Smart home devices are a fun way to feel like you’re living in the future, and let’s not forget the convenience they can bring. Whether you control a device from an app or integrate it with a smart hub for voice control, there are plenty of easy smart home upgrades for beginners. Smart home appliances can even keep you cool, which is why we take a look at some of the best smart air conditioners available online.

Based on what Amazon customers say about these AC units, they all have smart home features that allow you to control your device even when you’re not at home. Virtually all include their own app for making adjustments, but there’s also support for hubs like Amazon Alexa and Google Home. From familiar brands to unique designs, these air conditioners can provide both comfort and convenience. A number of them also promise to offer energy savings.

Keep in mind that most of these air conditioners start at around 6,000 BTUs, which typically cools a room of around 200 to 300 square feet. Consider home offices and small bedrooms. However, we also note when these units offer larger sizes right on the Amazon page, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for something larger. Users should also know that just one accessory can turn any air conditioner into a smart air conditioner quite quickly.

Promising 37% energy savings compared to traditional air conditioners with its DC inverter technology, Amazon’s Choice Midea U-Shaped Window Air Conditioner holds a 4.5-star rating with over 220 reviews. A unique feature is its U-shaped design, which allows users to keep the window open even with the air conditioner mounted. An anti-theft mechanism also locks the window when closed. For this list, we’re looking at the 6,000 BTU model, but users should be aware that options go up to 12,000 BTU.

With support for Matter, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home, this Wi-Fi-enabled air conditioner can be controlled by voice, but the included SmartHome app for iOS and Android offers a second option (a physical remote control is also included). Users can also use the app to monitor their energy consumption. Designed for single or double hung windows 22 to 36 inches wide, this device also promises operating sound levels as low as 32 dB.

At #4 on Amazon’s best-selling air conditioner list, this is the highest-ranked smart air conditioner. Users like the smart features available, with one noting that connecting to Wi-Fi can be simple. In addition to approving the unit for its energy efficiency, customers also appreciate its low-volume cooling capabilities. However, some users report a different experience, with the device buzzing and being overall noisy. Of course, there are also other gadgets to consider for the summer heat.

Besides a remote control and SmartHQ app integration, Amazon’s Choice GE window air conditioner also offers smart features with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. We’re looking at the 8,000 BTU model for this list, but users should be aware that sizes go up to 14,000 BTU. Wi-Fi support is included for connectivity, and this unit also includes an easy installation kit that makes installation a breeze.

The SmartHQ app is available for iPhones and Android devices. Users can receive updates on the unit while monitoring the air conditioner remotely. If you need help, the app can request a service technician. In addition to its smart controls, this GE appliance also includes an Eco mode that turns off the appliance’s compressor and fan when a room reaches an appropriate temperature. This is in addition to the three fan speeds and three different cooling modes.

Although Amazon users report Wi-Fi connectivity issues, customers still give this GE unit 4.2 stars out of more than 1,200 reviews for its ability to connect to smart assistants, among other reasons. Complementing the device for its ease of installation, customers also appreciate its ability to blow cold air. However, some users report that the model can be noisy, while others have difficulty pairing the device with Alexa. Since GE is also a worthy freezer brand (according to Consumer Reports), those familiar with the brand may find the name appealing.

Available in multiple sizes, Amazon’s Choice Windmill 6000 Window Air Conditioner holds a 4.0-star rating with over 370 reviews. Working with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, this model also includes the Windmill Air mobile app available for Android and iOS. This means that in addition to voice commands through an assistant, users can also control the unit remotely, adjust settings or set automation schedules directly from their phone. This may appeal to those who are constantly looking to try new smart home automation.

In addition to the smart features provided, this unit comes with an assembled installation kit, which the company claims can speed up installation. Users have three cooling settings and three fan speed settings, and additional features include a washable mesh filter, LED lights that automatically dim, and even the option of an activated carbon filter. This model also touts that it can help reduce utility bills thanks to double-insulated side panels while also relying on a dual filtration system and dual air intake.

Users should also note that this is the 6,000 BTU version and the Amazon page has additional options. Reviews show that customers appreciate the support for smart home apps and find it easy to connect to assistants. Many note that it works well and can move air efficiently. That said, some find that the device’s thermostat is not always accurate. With that in mind, this one may be of interest to those looking for a potentially easier installation.

With a 4.3-star rating from over 140 reviews, the LG 6,000 BTU Dual Inverter Smart Air Conditioner offers Alexa and Google support like many on this list, as well as the LG ThinQ app for Android and iPhone. With the app, users can use Smart Diagnosis to check the status of the device, monitor energy consumption or control it remotely. Although the company has stopped producing smartphones, users may recognize the brand name and this device has a few extra features under the hood.

With a 1.4-quart capacity, LG also touts this Wi-Fi-enabled air conditioner as meeting Energy Star certification requirements thanks to its proprietary inverter (variable-speed compressor) technology. For what it’s worth, this air conditioner also promises an annual power consumption of 510W. The device’s dual inverter technology and brushless DC motor can also keep noise as low as 44 dB when sleep mode is activated.

In reviews, Amazon users highlight the device’s energy efficiency and praise its cooling performance. Although some users note that the product can be expensive, many praise the accompanying app and Alexa compatibility. Feelings about the installation are mixed, with some calling it easy while others reporting difficulties related to the size of the unit and window alignment issues. Still, those worried about energy bills may want to take a second look.

Offering options up to 12,000 BTU (although we’re looking at the 5,000 BTU model), the Della Smart Window Air Conditioner includes 2.4GHz Wi-Fi support, as well as Google Assistant and Alexa integration. Like many on this list, it also includes its own Della+ app, available for iPhone and Android smartphones. In addition to remote access via the app, this model also uses geofencing so users can automatically adjust the temperature when they arrive home.

With temperature ranges between 61 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit, this Della unit includes five modes and four fan speeds. Users also have access to a 24-hour timer option as well as a sleep mode that allows temperatures to be adjusted. For installation, this works best with windows 23 to 34 inches wide and requires a minimum height of 14.5 inches (installation hardware included). Finally, this device includes a reusable and washable filter and an automatic restart function.

With a 4.1-star rating from over 450 reviews, Amazon customers love its cooling power and praise its ease of installation and setup. Users also give high marks for the device’s app integration and appreciate the device’s ability to work with Alexa. On the other hand, users report that the unit can be noisy, and one user also reported that the air conditioner only lasted two years. Still, those considering this one for the GEO tracking option may want to know more about these useful smart home sensors.

When putting together this list of some of the best smart home air conditioners, one of the most important factors was looking at what actual customers had to say about these products. In addition to reviewing user reviews, we also made sure that each product had a 4.0 star rating or better based on hundreds, if not thousands, of reviews. We also made sure each air conditioning unit supported a range of smart hubs, and we gave bonus points to units with an Amazon’s Choice designation or other notable features.
