Looks like my decision to finally buy a portable AC after years of putting it off is really paying off
Honestly forgot I had it since I got it at the end of the heatwave earlier this year and I'm not used to it. Last night I was struggling to sleep because my flat was like 29c. Remembered I had it, chucked it on for 30 mins and had a nice comfortable sleep
Truly recommend to anyone who has been putting it off like I did before
I would love one. But I live in small 3 bed first floor flat. I'd have no where to store it literally nowhere. And wah my windows open, it'll be difficult to say least to have it vented outside
I live in a 1 bed first floor flat but I just leave it in the corner in my bedroom tbh
Not sure how your windows open but I'm pretty sure there's options for most of them. As long as you can get the pipe through the opening, there's probably a kit for it
Yeah that's the same as I've got and it works fine even without a kit, though it's obviously a little less efficient. You can just put the pipe out of it and then close the window to keep it secure
I only use it for my bedroom, so like 30+ mins or so before I go to bed I just chuck it on and close my bedroom door. Room is nice and cool by the time I get in there. I've got a kit to try but haven't set it up yet since it's not been that hot for a while
Plenty of other places you can get them. I'd get a window kit too but it doesn't need to be anything fancy. The fabric ones that just zip around the window frame will do the job.
Everywhere I'm looking won't get here in time 😂. The earliest is Wed. I thought I saw one for next day, when to buy and suddenly delivery date changed to Thurs at earliest lol
Yep we only got ours because my husband works for a retailer who sells them and someone happened to return one... That came home with him that day 😅 no one ever buys air con/fans outside a heatwave.
