The A/C Unit Everyone Will Ask You About

Window air conditioners are nobody's favorite way to cool their home. They're ugly, they're loud, they're energy-inefficient, and if you're anything like me, you've spent an inordinate amount of time wondering, "Is this going to tumble out of my window and kill someone?" But it doesn't have to be this way. Enter July, a direct-to-consumer brand promising to disrupt the staid air conditioner aisle at Home Depot. Earlier this summer, in search of an alternative to the clunky Frigidaire cooling my bedroom with all the elegance of a jet engine, I swapped in July's medium-sized window unit. Sleek, chic, and powerful as hell, it arrived right on time for Earth's hottest summer on record—and it's revolutionized how I cool my apartment. If you use window air conditioning to cool your home, there's still time to make a savvy and stylish upgrade before the summer ends.
