Seeing best sellers this year, I’ve noticed many are 10000 BTU units — the perfect size for cooling medium-sized rooms.
I reviewed the top five best 10000 BTU window air conditioner units for 2024.
Window AC prices on my list range from $149 to $450.

As a “smart” WiFi air conditioner, you can use your phone to operate it remotely — buyers say it’s useful if you forget to turn it off.
Noise Level (dB): ≤ 54 decibels
The mobile app also provides a lot more functionality than you’d get w/ a typical remote control.

Frigidaire FFRE103ZA1 10,000 BTU Window AC
No products found.
The Frigidaire FFRE103ZA1 is a compact 10000 BTU window air conditioner.
It was over-priced last year because it was a newer model, but it has come down in price this year.
What makes it unique is its ability to maintain consistent room temperatures for long hours. Unlike other window-mounted air conditioners, they it does not constantly switch on/off all night.
For its size, it is also one of the most energy-efficient window air conditioners, with an EER rating of 12.2.
The downside is that it is a little louder than others on my list, with decibels up to 59.
Personally, I think it is one of the best 10000 BTU window air conditioner units for home offices or living rooms.
Additional features:
3 fan speeds, remote control, programmable timer, sleep mode + easy install
Buyers like its affordable price and consistent performance.
