If speed matters and money is tight, a portable air conditioner or a compact cooling laptop can be a smart choice. These units deliver the efficiency of a traditional air conditioner for medium-sized rooms, but with the key advantage of mobility: you can move them from room to room as needed. Remember to provide an external outlet for the exhaust hose to vent hot air outside.

For those ready to buy, the market offers a range of models with varying features. A popular option in back-to-school and summer promotions is a model sold by Lidl. The well-known German retailer has kicked off the summer season with seasonal bargains. While it covers everything from mosquito repellent devices to sun shelters and even budget sandals, it also draws shoppers looking for portable cooling solutions, especially when prices are cut during the season.
