    I live in the U.K., no one has AC. Some people will say you don’t need AC. If it was free, or even reasonably affordable, and easy, do you know what I’ve had this summer?

    Edit; edited for clarity.

      I also live in the UK. The last few years I’ve been tempted to buy a portable AC. Just as I go to spend £300, the weather turns and I decide to spend money on other stuff (like food)

      We had that heat wave just after Easter this year, much earlier than I remember, that was the final straw. Bought one on marketplace for £180.

      Every night going to bed the sheets are crisp and cool. I sleep like a baby.

      The biggest downside? Damn those things are pricey to run

        This is something I’ll have to consider. There’s one in the office at work that’s like 400 quid. It’s almost a weeks wages.
