Which? Mag - have they ever done tests of air coolers / portable air conditioners?

If you want any specifics - just shout

Hi SlightlyMad! Thanks for this. Were the results just about air conditioners or also the cheaper option of air coolers?

Also, just had a look at that best buy - 630 quid is a bit beyond our budget! We were hoping to spend around 250 max...

Just about to have tea. Will get back to check after DC are in bed. That particular report was only conditioners...there were some with guide prices £150-300. I will check that for you too.

Those with a guide price of £300 or less are listed below. Will check coolers later as that will take more time

Delonghi Pinguino PAC C110 73% (Best Buy) £300
Prem-i-Air TC9000R 59% £250
Amcor AMC 10KM-410 52% £200

SMS - what a quick response! You are a star! Go, enjoy your tea, and I will check back later.

They don't have any air cooler results on there web site as far as I can see.

I put the £300 one on the list as you may get that within budget somewhere.

Now I really am going for tea...I can hear DP (yes DP!!) serving it!!!
