Much better than cheaper fans, different power settings and modes and stuff. Remote control, sleep timer, all that stuff. It’s great. The Dyson one looks nicer but apart from that it’s not much different Have you looked into one of these Ben? We had one in New Mexico one summer and it worked great. You have to vent it out of the window but at least you can move it from room to room. https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/devola-9000-btu-portable-air-conditioning-unit-dvac09cw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds really dangerous, hope you checked there was enough oxygen in there to breathe. Definitely keep them cool though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a bit big for the space we’ve got and not as good for jack (apparently) so didn’t go for it. I think it would do a better job to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe combine it with an air filter? I know AC is just not a thing in England but boy oh boy is it nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scandinavians and North Americans also snigger at our 'bad winters'. No,a whirly bird is goo for your roof.As I said it gets rid of hot air trapped between the roof and the celing and it gets rid of damp/moist air trapped in the same space.Surely that would be good for your sort of weather in England ?!

Xela Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 No need to worry anymore about heat - back to normal! I went out yesterday afternoon and it was 35 degrees in the car. Driving back from my folks just and it was 12 degrees in the car. That is some drop in 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted June 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2022 Absolutely pissing it down here. Heavy rain, and cold. It’s the people at the Stereophonics gig that I feel sorry for. Nothing to do with the weather that, I just feel sorry for them. 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
