Hot weather has arrived in parts of the UK again, with certain areas expected to reach highs of 31C this week. So, a good fan or a decent air cooling unit might be just the thing to get you through warmer days.
Wowcher is currently offering a deal on a portable air cooler. Originally £98.99, it is now just £34.99 – a 65% saving. The air cooler has a four-litre tank that holds ice-cooled water and circulates it around the room for a cooling effect.
It also has multiple speed settings, allowing users to adjust the cooling effect to their preference. The device offers 120-degree oscillation, ensuring even distribution of cool air throughout the room. It also includes a built-in dehumidifier.
Measuring 58cm in height and 22cm in width, its compact size ensures it won’t dominate the space it occupies, reports the Mirror.
However, it’s crucial to understand that this device is not an air conditioner but an air cooler. Those expecting the performance of an air conditioner may need to explore other options.
Air coolers operate by evaporating water to cool the air, whereas air conditioners use a refrigerant-based system to cool and dehumidify.
For those willing to invest more heavily, an actual air conditioner might be a better option. For instance, Appliances Direct offers the Argo air conditioner for £270.
Atmos also has a powerful £320 air conditioner with a built-in heat pump for when it gets cooler in the winter.
There are no reviews about the product on the Wowcher site, but Wowcher does offer 14-day returns for those who aren’t happy. There are also great reviews of Wowcher on Trustpilot.
One reviewer said: “It was very simple and straightforward to purchase. The description of the item I’ve purchased was clear. I price-matched the items, and Wowcher was a far better price, so I’m very happy. Thank you.”
Another shopper said: “Lots to choose from at great prices, I have used Wowcher a few times and never had an issue.”
Not everyone was happy, however, with some people having issues with customer service and ordering. They said: “All WhatsApp help was very good, but when reordering a tablet with credit, it gave me nowhere to reorder my gift wrap, and I found all ordering info complicated.
“Also it doesn’t tell you properly how to contact them and it was only when I looked up on Google, how to contact Wowcher that I found out the best way was on WhatsApp and the details were there.”
Wowcher deals act kind of like vouchers. You initially purchase the offer from Wowcher, and a unique code will be sent to your email, which can then be used to purchase your item with your chosen company.
An admin fee is applied to your basket when purchasing a voucher, although Wowcher incorporates this in the final price (for example, the £89 price includes the estimated admin fee). Vouchers are available 24 hours after purchase.
There are no refunds after you have activated your voucher, but if you change your mind after purchasing your voucher but have not yet activated it, you can use it towards any other deal on the Wowcher website. Wowcher has more information on its terms and conditions here.
