Looking at buying a mobile air conditioning unit before the weekend

[Scubahood]

Any advice on best ones to get or are they all pretty much the same?

Hello by the way

Cool

 

[Druss_The_Legend]

I'm thinking about making one of these but with a cool box. Can't justify paying £70+ for one that I will probably use twice a year.

They might not be all they are cracked up to be.

You need to buy one with decent btu rating and ideally you'll need to vent it out of a wall or with a window cover adapter as the air needs venting somewhere.

Have a cold beer. Anything under £200 ish, will be a waste of money.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Have a cold shower and stand in front of a fan.

Don't make the mistake alot of people make during the day when its very hot by opening your curtains and windows. If the air temperature is hotter outside then if you open your windows, all that will do is blow in hot air and make your home even hotter. Save opening your windows until late evening when its cooler. Keep your curtains closed during the day to block the suns rays, ideally with blackout curtains.

I also freeze a 2 litre bottle filled with water then place it in a bowl in front of a fan to blow cold air round the house.

Do you have to be butt naked and if so won't they report you to the police?

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

We have plantation shutters on our windows, they're great for days like these as keeps the rooms cool during the day

I've gone and bought one now

Give me a shout on Monday, I will buy it off you.
or I could do a swap for a decent room heater.

After 5 days it will all be over and u can put it in the loft, at least you'll have it for the next heatwave
PS It's not even that hot....

I could possibly sell you a mobile one on Tuesday.

The Prisoner said "Have a cold shower and stand in front of a fan."

What could possibly go wrong?

There's no easy way of cooling air. Swamp coolers from cool boxes etc end up creating humidity. Portable air cons are noisy and need a vent through a window - but better than nowt.
I have just had proper installed air con fitted to four rooms in our house and its a god send. They are also very efficient heaters in the winter - once the price of leccy has been separated from gas then they will be cheap to run too,

I broke my boycott of Dyson to buy a Dyson fan for my baby daughters room last summer. Expensive, but definitely worth it and easy to move around from room to room.

Great protest then...
