I said heat! This isn't another one of those Amiga.org threads. ;-)
Well my flat gets so hot during the day that I literally can't think straight, or concentrate on anything. I have a pedestal fan in the kitchen/lounge area and i keep all the windows open but the heat just continues to build. I'm not running any particularly exothermic appliances... A small energy class A fridge/freezer, and my laptop, neither of which push out an awful lot of heat, are all I have running most of the time.
So, with a heavy heart, I'm starting to look at something a little more active than my fan. Ugh, next I'll have an SUV. Anyway. I'd like to consider any alternative before blowing £200 on an A/C unit (that's before I even plug the bugger in.) Has anyone used those vent-free ones you put ice/water in? Are they any good? I'm a little skeptical about their performance and haven't had the chance to see one working. Any other ideas would be appreciated too...
