It is a good buy (£95 on Amazon) but it's also misdescribed by Dixons.

It's not an air conditioner but an evaporative air cooler. It works by blowing air over ice packs which obviously need to be pre-frozen.

Another misleading ad from DSG group I dont know how they get away with it this is an AIR COOLER not an air conditioning unit!

Even though the title in dixons says air conditioner, this is technically not an aircon unit - it is an air cooler. So don't jump for your credit cards just yet - this uses water to saturate and cool the air, completely different to a proper air conditioner, such as this one at empiredirect for £179.99:

A Point to note is that its an Air Cooler not an Air Conditioner. Blows Air over Ice blocks. Think their description is a tad misleading.

I quite liked the idea of that for a minute........

Any ideas what these machines are like? Worth the £50?

its a air cooler.

I have the same unit bought from Maplins last year for 39.99.

will post a maplin link if they still stock it.

What everyone seems to be overlooking is that this is an air cooler, not an air conditioner............;)

Perhaps it would be wise for the OP to modify the title of this thread....so no-one misses Dixons error.
