When you’re talking about finding the best outdoor air conditioner it’s almost a misnomer as the best such units are not actually air conditioners at all but evaporative air coolers. This is like a halfway house between a fan and an air conditioner. These units do not have condensers, but tanks of ice and water that evaporate over time while the fans and blowers provide a steady flow of cooling air into the areas where you wish to direct it.

These units are particularly suitable for outdoor areas such as patios, decks and household lawns, those enclosed, private spaces where you like to spend time relaxing by yourself or with family
