According to reviews, the Kenmore 76081 7,800-Btu air conditioner is an inexpensive window unit that can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet. Temperature settings are easy to control using the remote control, 12-hour delay timer and electronic controls on the unit itself. The Energy Star rating and energy-saver mode should help you save on your electricity bill. Most owners say it is a quiet model (though some disagree) that does an excellent job of cooling. For smaller rooms up to 200 square feet, reviews recommend the 6,000-Btu Frigidaire FAA065P7A (*Est. $200).
