Talking Excellent AIR COOLER from B&Q ...

today we went to b and q... we bought two of these.. they are REALLY good for the price and they come with ice packs for the freezer.. slimline and strong air flow.. brilliant for the price..

excellent for keeping cresties/ other rhacs etc cooler this summer.. please ignore the poor review on the website... the person who closed the door of her daughters nursery obviously was a total idiot.. these air coolers than run on cold water for cooling MUST be placed in a room with open doors.. or the air temp rises.. so yeah.. what an idiot that chick was.. she closes the door of the room she wanted cooled... hmmm.... FAIL..LOL

Airforce Slim Evaporative Air Cooler ACS120-FR Black

nah they dont.. i hate those too LOL

I was really surprised how good these are.. the freezer packs are a good idea.. you get two so once one has lost its coldy chilliness you just swap it over.. and the water fillers at the bottom.. easy peacy..

we were lucky we got one for 25 quid as it had no box.. so two for 75.. bargain..

plus they are slimline and dont look vile.. bonus!!!!!

Why arent your mats on a stat? Surely your room doesnt get above 90F to require a cooler as well as mat stats!

Thanks for the tip!

That is brilliant! ive been in panic overload after hearing about the heatwave coming up, going to pop down to the local B&Q in the morning and pick one of these up

Had a hectic day re-arranging the home, OH built me a Crestie rack and one of our sofas had to be sacrificed and thrown out for the sake of fitting our new Bosc in! but its all worth it

Hopefull me and the OH will get some relief with the cooling unit aswell!!!
