aircon units

baconbarris

anyone know any particularly good ones, or where to get the best prices?

friend of mine bought the Amcor AMC12000M, 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner for £225 four weeks ago, but now seems to be costing £285.

thanks for any help

I'm also looking for an aircon unit. Does anyone know where I can get one - everywhere I've looked seems sold out (Surprise surprise)

Looking to spend £200-£300 max

Thanks in advance

maybe we should sweat this summer through and then buy them in the sales later on in the year, ready for next year. Although, knowing our summers we may not get another one for about ten years

I totally agree, for the few weeks max that it is to hot to sleep I'm not willing to pay over the odds for a air con unit and I'll be waiting for the season to end. What I do know is that you need a good one to do the job correctly and I would avoid the cheap ones in Argos as they generate more heat than they cool as well as having to empty the water daily and stick and big pipe out of a window.

I have two of the "cheap ones in Argos" and they cool both our bedroom and living room down VERY nicely and I have not had to empty them once since I bought them (2 years ago). They are also "A" rated for electrical efficiency and can be picked up for £150 when on offer from Argos (and Homebase).

Yes, you do need to stick the big pipe out the window - as you do with ANY mobile air conditioning unit...

Thanks

Darn! I was hoping to be able to find one that does not require a pipe.

How can it be a mobile unit if it's attached to a pipe? What if you don't have a window in close proximity?
