BEST SPACE HEATER
Honeywell HCE 323V

The Honeywell HCE 323V’s adjustability, output, and ther-
mostatic control make it perfect for heating a living room,
bedroom, or small home office. Despite its quiet operation
and slim design, it can move a fair amount of hot air quickly
and evenly. For safety, its proximity sensor shuts it down
when it senses something within six inches.^ $80

MOST POWERFUL
PORTABLE AC

LG 115V Dual Inverter


The most powerful porta-
ble AC unit we tested, LG’s
appliance is well-suited
to cooling large spaces
with 14,000 BTU and cool,
fan, dehumidify, and sleep
modes. LG’s SmartThinQ
app allows you to control it
from anywhere, so you can
come home to a cool space.
Maintenance is as easy as it
gets, with no tools neces-
sary for filter replacement
and an easy lift-off design
for the top grill.^ $700


BEST WINDOW AC
Friedrich Kuhl Series
KCQ06A10A

Tough enough for commer-
cial settings as well as your
house, Friedrich’s Kuhl
window air conditioner
with 6,000 BTU is quiet but
powerful. Its inside is well-
built, with dense sound
insulation and damper
rings, an easily spinning
blower wheel, and steel
interior partitions. If your
interests are more tech
than metal, you can also
control and monitor it with
an app. $739
