Hisense WC08W25A Smart Air Conditioner on Sale

Staying cool during the summer is essential not only for comfort but also for health. Being overly hot can accelerate the aging process and can be the difference between life and death. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has guidance on how to handle hot weather, including a recommendation to stay in a place with air conditioning whenever possible. Fortunately for those in warmer climates, Hisense’s WC08W25A, its latest smart air conditioner, is currently on sale for $249.99, which is $50 off its regular price at Amazon, marking its lowest price ever.

I have tested a previous-generation window air conditioner from Hisense and was impressed by its ease of setup and use. The 8,000 BTU WC08W25A is designed to fit into windows that are at least 13.6 inches high and between 24.5 and 39 inches wide. It cools rooms more evenly by pushing air in four directions simultaneously, which can help you feel cooler faster, especially considering that warm air rises. You can control the four-mode air conditioner using a remote, touch-sensitive buttons, or the ConnectLife App, provided it is connected to your Wi-Fi network.

Using the mobile app allows you to manage your air conditioner from virtually anywhere. You can turn it on as you return home, which can help reduce your utility bill and ensure that the room is cool upon your arrival. If you have a regular schedule, you can also set it to automatically turn on and off at specific times. The WC08W25A is designed to cool rooms up to 350 square feet, but Hisense offers similar models with the same features that are suitable for areas twice that size.
