I think it's cost me £10-20 or so of extra electricity in a month. Totally worth it to be able to sleep/live.

No, they are £149 for their silvercrest private label one. The £199 is a branded one they started selling later.

It uses 750 Watts an hour when cooling my house. My AC won't be on all day. Most of the hot days, opening the windows in the morning and at night cools things down enough. So say... 8 hours a day max.

If you have a Lidl nearby, they are selling a 7000 BTU air conditioner for £150 but they will be selling quick at that price. - [https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/silvercrest-local-air-conditioner/p10032645](https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/silvercrest-local-air-conditioner/p10032645) As for investing in one, 100% as heatwaves are becoming more common and getting warmer, we are on our 3rd one and we are only 2 weeks into July

Cheap (£150) Silvercrest one on sale from Lidl and it is excellent.

I bought the Lidl one, I think most stores would have sold out by now as they went on sale on Thursday, you can check on their website. I had wanted to get portable air conditioner for a few weeks now and was prepared to pay up to about £600. Yes it does work! The biggest faff is you have to stick the venting hose out of a partially opened window and then seal the air gap to stop hot air from outside from getting in.
