Aros Smart Air Conditionerby Quirky
PROS
- The Aros Smart Air Conditioner looks much sleeker and more sophisticated than most window air conditioners.
- The Smart Budget feature lets you make sure your power usage and cost don't spiral out of control.
- Its $300 list price is comparable to what you'd pay for an air conditioner without the smart features.
CONS
- The fabric flaps that should seal the unit in the window are difficult to secure.
- The Aros does not come with its own remote; your mobile phone must be used to control it remotely.
- Some of the smart features can be buggy.
