SMK 7000 B2

£149 at Lidl for 7000BTU. My local one still has them.

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.

Mine is 750Wh, so say 20p an hour.

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.

Yessir. I believe it includes a window seal for that also.

I think my local Lidl still has them to this day, can confirm tommorrow lol

Lidl sold one for £150 last year, I think it’s 7000 BTUs (currently in the loft so can’t check right now). It is very loud but it is nice to be able to have cool room where you don’t sweat as much. Sitting in front of a fan in a hot room is surprisingly dehydrating. I’ve got a pair of noise cancelling headphones for my PC now so I’m hoping the noise will be less of an issue this year. Not sure when Lidl will restock them but worth keeping an eye out. Equivalents on Amazon were over £350 when I picked one up

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.
