Its a shame this can't be reserved for store pick-up.

It says it'll be up to 21 days for delivery to my area so not much use for me really

No, unfortunately not. Just ordered mine and checkout indicated I would be called by Monday next week to arrange delivery date.

i was thinking of this was energy efficient it would be good for winter as well as summer? I cannot work out the correct kw per hour tho theres to many stats there! Can anyone help me, it says the cooling output is 2.97kw but the Annual consumption is kW/hour 657.5. Energy saver bulbs use 12kw so does that mean its going to be the same as running 21 bulbs at once?

I actually went ahead and bought one of these (without the heater).

It was delivered rather quickly last saturday, however it did not come with the remote control. I have been into an argos store today and complained (just asked them to send me a remote), but when the lady phoned customer services it apparantly does not come with a remote. She did bring it up on her screen and no mention of a remote was made.

I know i wasn't seeing things - it did say with remote control didn't it!! (I know it doesn't now.)

Thanks Julie

The product mentioned in post 1 uses 3.5kw of electricity per hour if it is used as a heater. That's the same as having three and a half one bar fires on all at once for 1 hour, or 35 100watt bulbs, or 291 of the 12 watt energy saver bulbs that you meant to mention in your post but unfortunately you stated the bulbs a being 12 kilowatts instead of watts!

You say that the cooling output is 2.97kw. That means that for each hour you have it running cooling the air it uses as much a 3 one bar electric fires would in one hour if they were switched on simultaneously. Or put another way it uses the equivalent of having 30 100watt bulbs switched on simultaneously for one hour, or having 247 of your 12 watt energy saving bulbs switched on simultaneously for one hour.
