Air Conditioner Deals & Offers

This isn't much of a deal though. It's been £650 from AppliancesDirect for at least a month, but I think it's their standard price

Large ie 12000btu or small 9000btu does not seem to mean anything. As you can see in my pics above the temp coming out seems to be more important. I could be wrong. But the lower the better works for me.

so I have a Delonghi on loan. It's pretty efficient however the outlet for water is broken so there is no plug/stop on it. I've fashioned a container to fit underneath but it fills in only 10mins... Also whilst being good it's a very big unit. I want one smaller than can fit under my desk as most of the year it wont be in use. It really is only needed for a couple of hours on the hottest of day. I borrowed it to see if ait con would serve my purpose which is does but i'm concerned about buying a smaller unit with all the comments here.

Some of the other sellers do - I bought my older unit from Germany due to the cheaper price some time ago

But Amazon.de won't deliver to UK address ?

Is youra 60w from tesco

This looks absolutely identical to the tower fan I just bought from tesco at £30.

...from the same review; "64 of 66 people found this review helpful" I wonder why 2 people didn't think it was helpful to know that the fan was good for drying their crack.. (confused)

Give yourself a pat on the back and put a fiver In the charity box next time. (skeptical)

I baught 2 for 35 from tesco 2 years ago (May 2017) and still going strong!

at this price would it not be worth doing a wall mounted a/c unit? https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/iqool9/electriq-iqool9-air-conditioner?refsource=apadwords&mkwid=sojQrB8Jm_dc&pcrid=310389495017&product=iQool9&pgrid=62166992099&ptaid=pla-447042105253&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxMjnBRCtARIsAGwWnBMSWYMHjs413cNJb8D1NX4gmGe2X9f7eaYEWV-X6ZeM-FGi0mC3L9MaAoqxEALw_wcB

Yes - works a treat

Thanks, assume you mean you just hang the hose out without sealing the window with a kit?

To anyone wondering if an open window stops these working effectively - don’t worry. We have 2x portable air conditioners approx 13 years old - always had a round hose hanging out of one or both of our children’s windows in summer. Cools quickly and as pointed out earlier heat rises so never a problem with heat coming back in. I’m half expecting one or the other of our units to fail this summer after 13 years - probably during a heat wave when there is no stock ...

TIL: 'laddo' is a gender

Guessing by the water tank size that it's a mains powered peltier based unit. Terribly ineffective, but they will work for somewhere small like an airing cupboard.

Just bought 2 from Darlington store they are actually good for caravans

Useless

Is this battery powered or mains? There doesnt seem to be much about this online anywhere other than eBay where its being sold for £50!

Good price but it's B&M, hopefully they'll have three all over the country

For Ryzen, I can't see this being any better than the stock cooler.

Specifications page they say 4 heatpipes ...so ?? definitely not 8 , 4 looped up on both sides

£13.19 del. to Northern Ireland.

+£5.48 delivery

Shows £16.99 for me, that's great price

Hi there, are you using it this weekend? 😃

You're assuming the air outside is cooler, which it generally is but during the recent heatwave my area was seeing temperatures above 20C well into the early hours of the morning. In conditions like that you need air conditioning not a fan.

Arrived quickly, but not tried it yet, still not been hot enough to warrant it (skeptical)

You received yet & any good?

I bought a trotec 2000e a few weeks ago for £205. Very similar spec and generally well reviewed. trotec24.co.uk/machines/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-package-deals/pac-2000-e-air-conditioner-airlock-100.html?rc=5b89253657&rc=5b89253657&gclid=CjwKCAjwlPTmBRBoEiwAHqpvhRiRUchfn9LqZnNrYnt2OSKgwHwIXn3PkfkoNSZT-CKhTIxLBiyJbhoCyEUQAvD_BwE Still available directly from trotec via eBay at that price..

screwfix is the same model.

Me also. Plus its the same model so it's the same. B&Q and screwfix are owned by the same company. Guess they get away with the higher price in B & Q 😁

I baught mine from screwfix and it has wheels

Dont have high hopes on these, the single pipe models take the air cooled from the room and send it out the window, I have in the past hacked one and converted to 2 pipe design, drawing air from outside and ejecting it back, keeping the cool air in the room, it looked crap but did the job, it will also debumidify air so you will have a large difference on a hot and humid day but the tank ia going to fill rather quickly, I have put the ac on a chair and ran a pipe down to a bucket which during heatwave would fill in a day (12L) Unless the room is very small, you will likely have to run this thing on full blast to get the results

Anyone got one of these Blyss air conditioning units? I know they are going to be noisy when on their highest cooling level, but what are they like when on medium or low? (to maintain the lower temp after running at high for a while)

I wish I could tell you, but I'm UK born and bred, come across them.on hols :S

These are useless - I had the misfortune of being stuck with one in a hot office. You might as well save your money and buy a fan. Or do it properly and get an air conditioner; they actually work.

Maybe this is why it's on offer? 4 times louder than a volcano

Works by extracting heat in the room to evaporate the water Strangely some folk let this then form condensation which reheats the room as it releases energy as it changes state. If used properly the air with evaporated water should be in an airflow leaving the room, to prevent the condensation & heat being re-release within the room You can achieve similar results by directing a fan at drying washing in a room, but again you need to let the airflow then leave the room.

It's just not possible to bring the temperature of a room down without pushing the hot air outside. They don't work. If you're gonna get this just buy a cheap fan, if you want to actually cool down your room then you need a portable air conditioner.

It does hot and cold read the manuals

just got this unit and I am wondering if it is faulty or not. Supposedly the AC function should dry the air but whenever the compressor turns on the cold air coming from the main outlet vent is very humid. Is this normal?

if this product isn't great could anyone suggest a possible sub £300 alternative. My garden office (15m2) gets hot in the summer and I want to be prepared this year. Did some research in the winter but only really found reviews from the States and half the brands and models aren't available over here. UK reviews seem thin on the ground...

Its looks like the previous version I boguht, so maybe this model has some minor changes/improvements.

Strangely enough it only has reviews from this year.... Does that mean this is a new version? I am sure there were reviews left last year also.

I bought this one from B&Q last week and tried it today, made my room lovely and cool within 20mins/half hour. It is a small room though! I did have to add an extension to the hose though as my room has top opening windows but still works great! Is quite noisy though (as loud as my metal fan).

If gary333 is right and this one is quieter that would tempt me as the Amcor is pretty noisy. They are both rater 65dB but this one has 3 fan speed compared to Amcors 2 so should at least be quieter on the lowest fan setting. The lowest fan setting on the Amcor is virtually as loud as the highest. If I had the choice I would probably get this Blyss or even the 12,000 BTU one for £299

Yeah, I'm thinking of just taking the plunge and getting one, then figure out how best to rig it up. If I hesitate till the summer, they're bound to sell out.

As long as the hose reaches (1.5m) and as long as the window opens wide enough (150mm) then you are ok. It would just look nicer with a sash window because you could use the window fitting then. You can get one of these for a casement window but I am just going to try it without first. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rhodesy-Universal-Air-Conditioning-Suitable-Conditioning/dp/B07F42QB7V/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=window+fitting+for+air+conditioner&qid=1557161909&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I'm a complete ignoramus about this sort of stuff, but you've given me a very good starting point so I can do a bit of investigation. Thanks.

If you are planning to spend over £200 on air conditioning I'd save up for wall mount air conditioning.

Tried mine last night too. Found most things fairly straight forward. You need to wait a moment between changing setting and the unit reacting. I also looked into the drainage. Unless you're using it as a dehumidifier, leave the drain plug in. The unit will display FL (full?) when the water needs draining off. I've read reviews of people removing this and running it, coming back to a puddle and complaining.

thanks Toothy1911 will try it tonight

Yes, no other assembly required. Works on a thermostat to the desired temperature via various settings.

do you just plug and go after you put the external hose on thanks

Well, it does make a noise!

Thought it was an expensive smart speaker at first (lol)

12000BTU for £289.97 https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/amcor_10000btu_portable_air_conditioner_sf12000e/version.asp?refsource=APadwords&refsource=apadwords&mkwid=szThWHnEG_dc&pcrid=328883527823&product=SF12000E&pgrid=65269106319&ptaid=pla-448392373561&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvpi9-oju4QIVByjTCh2vBwF8EAQYASABEgIsrvD_BwE

Well, it's as noisy as any portable or window air con (noisy), somewear in the 55-65 DB region. There all very similair as I have used all types of air condioners (it's as noisy as a window air con ) while I lived in the US, Canada, Hong Kong and China . The only way your going to get a quietish air con is by buying a Inverter Wall Split Air Conditioning System unit bolted to your inside wall and the much larger and more noisy condenser outside the wall. They need more work to fit and costs around £400+cost of fitting and are limited to where you can put it outside as you obviously dont want it sitting outside the front of your house.. https://cpc.farnell.com/airconditioningcentre/kfr-33iw-x1c-m/wall-split-air-conditioning-unit/dp/HG00733?st=Air Conditioner

What's the noise level? I can't see it on the website. Thanks

Hardly a great price,i posted a deal a few weeks ago but thanks to the moderators it did not go live (obviously hotukdeals where not going to get a cut of the sales to fatten there 4+ million pound annual turnover from the company that was selling it) My new 8000 BTU unit ( £68 cheaper than amazon ) arrived the next day and works well and only uses 8p per hour according to my smart meter . There website had a 15% discount as well as being reduced to £230 which it still is (£260 on amazon) https://www.jackstonehouse.com/portable-quiet-air-conditioner-unit-8000btu.html Amazon £259 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D38PKGD/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A3NLGKQTQLZ6GL&psc=1

Very mixed reviews on this.
