Review of B&Q AIR Cooler 3SPEED FAN/ICE CUBE/R-Co by Brighty64

Advantages: It works.
Disadvantages: Cost of running.

I was lucky enough to be given one of these air conditioners. It's a great little piece of kit which you can move about very easily, even when full of water. Probably the worst thing about it is trying to fill it with water the first time around. The little box that you have to fill doesn't take that much water, and it does take a long time to drain in to the main tank, so that part did take a long time to do. But... when you are all set, boy this ...
...my lounge, and with the way the British summer is going at the moment, I'm using it quite a lot. Not sure what effect it is having on my electric bill, so will have to wait and see about that. Like the different things that it can do to. The chilling effect is great, and the 120 degree movement means that you don't have to be sat in a draft all the time. As it swings around, it feels good to be sat there. ... Read review

Amazing machine!
Review of Challenge AF10000E Portable Air Conditioner by fosbrook6695

Advantages: Very effective at cooling the room
Disadvantages: A little noisy

Well where do i start? I bought this air conditioner last week and was that impressed that i had to have it put on Ciao, so i did and here it is! I bought this from Argos and it was £169.99, which is a little pricey, but hey it does the job. When i got it home i took it out of the box and undid the packaging of the accessories etc. I nearly broke my back getting it out of the box, its very small and handy but it weighs a ton. I had another air conditioner ...
...Its about 3 times the size of this one. So what i am trying to say is that i think the size of this unit is really its best feature as it will fit almost anywhere. Now onto its efficiency. I had selected this model as it is A rated in energy efficiency, its about 800 watts in total on air con mode. I first switched it on and it takes about 5 seconds for the compressor to come on (the thing that cools the air) and then just sit back and feel the ... Read review

THE DEHUMDIFIER.
Review of Amcor AC-705CE by packerlist

Advantages: CONVINIENCE AND PERFORMS VERY WELL.
Disadvantages: HEAVY TO CARRY.

...less to compare to other amcor products. This holds at about 6 liters of water. This could be used as humidi and to get the best of its cooling, keep on window and it also uses water to cool as it passes over a wet pad. I enjoy this mostly when I come back from work when it gets hot. It is noisy but not like that. It is quite heavy to carry but its installation is very easy. The day I fixed it, it was not difficulty in installing. I bought it specifically ...
...don’t really know on how to use it during winter, may be to prevent the rate of heat the heater produces, I think that this could serve as a good heat neutralizer. Well you wont expect much from this review because this is just an air conditioner that has one specific function and that it to cool and humidifie the air. Its cooling abilities are very good to me and it is rated for houses with 3 bedrooms. Some times, since I live in a small apartment, ... Read review

From hot and bothered to cool and calm
Review of Convair Magicool by ultracoolgiovanni

Advantages: cools instantaneously, uses less than 100W power, cools a large area, durable, very quiet
Disadvantages: initial purchase price although now much cheaper

...this case and ordered the Convair Magicool air conditioning unit without doing any real comparison in the spring of 2006. At that time it cost 295 Euros (approximately £200) but I have no seen them advertised for lower prices, the cheapest being 220 Euros (approximately £155). The air conditioning unit when it arrived required assembling. The box contained: The unit casing measuring 76cm in height, 43.5cm wide and 31.5cm deep. A fan A water reservoir ...
...The initial outlay on the Convair Magicool unit was a little excessive in my view and the fact that it has decreased so much in price over such a short space of time has left me a little bit vocal about the rush to purchase, however for the results it has produced it is nothing short of a life saving device, even in a area much larger than it is allegedly suitable for. As the temperatures start to become unbearable again this year we have dusted ... Read review
