Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

Portable Air-con unit is well worth the money! Bought mine about 8 years ago and it's still going strong. Downside is remembering to empty the bucket you put the hose in to. Other than that I cannot fault it.

What make/model are we talking? I thought the portable ones weren't supposed to be all that great, and quite noisy? We've been making do with a big floor standing fan, but it only does so much.

Mines a Challenge. I got it from Homebase for about £275. It is a little loud when the AC kicks in. Sounds a little bit like the burrring noise a pressure washer makes. It's on wheels so it can be moved easily as a bit heavy. If you get the doors shut, the tube out of the window and the curtains shut it gets the room like a little fridge in about half an hour to an hour. You set the temperature you are aiming for and when it hits it, it switches to fan only mode to save electricity.
