I’ve no doubt.
Which one? I think I’ll get a portable one for this year.
For the longer term, we are considering an LG DualCool split system. Condenser unit on the patio, with piping going to wall units in 3 of the rooms. The 3 rooms we’d like to keep cool in summer are all at the rear of the house, which should keep the install costs relatively low.
How do you handle the exhaust on your portable, just throw it out of the window?
Top tip: close your windows and shutters when it’s hotter outside, only open all windows when sundown to let the cooler air in. Having a fan on low moving the air around keeps it cooler, you might not need an AC.
I’m in an EPC E Victorian building with single-glazed windows. Cold as hell year round, finally shows its (drafty) value as I only need to close the West-facing windows and pull the curtains.
My OH got us Venty fans, worth the money for lower noises.
Ooooooooooooh yeah fan chat! My time to shine!
I have pedestal air circulators in the living room, and one in the bedroom. I got the Dreo smart fans that run via google home/smart assistant of choice. Then a desk fan from the same brand.
Had them a couple of summers now and they’ve been awesome. Especially like that I can tell google home to turn them on for me before I get home so its not all hot and stuffy when I walk into the flat. The one in the bedroom gets used during the winter as well. I find having a bit of air movement helps me sleep in general.
I hope it’s better than their washing machines which were absolute 
and eventually they provide me with a deadlock letter meaning we got a new washing machine. Not only was the WM of poor quality their customer service was appalling.
That’s concerning. Our washer dryer and fridge freezer are both LG.
Both have been fine so far. The app is really bad though.
Would agree 100% on this as our WM was LG which died inside their “10 Year Warranty” but they claimed that they couldn’t fix it.
Wouldn’t have another and the Haier we got to replace it seems a much better machine
I’ve heard good things about Haier.
When our LG stuff dies, we’ll probably go for either Haier or Bosch.
Cuvva are pretty good for me.
Isn’t there a cooling-off period anyway? Presumably you could just buy normal insurance and then cancel it? I guess you’d get a pro-rata refund?
Unless you crash then no refund
My new fridge freezer is Haier. I like it and it’s all very well made, feels robust etc. Also extremely quiet and the frost free is 
However mine came with a very faint hairline scratch across the front from top to bottom. I could really notice it at first but as time has gone on I’ve become blind to it now. I should have probably complained at the time, but I was too lazy to complain to AO about it.
Last week: 4 Alton Towers tickets from Sky
This week: £5 new customers lottery with Cats Protection
Wonder what next weeks wins will bring me 
4 tickets you say…?
My gal friend already hopped on with her fella but they have a habit of cancelling 
Are we in a bubble where everyone is having a dashboard where they sell you stuff at discount. From shops, energy, broadband, insurance, SIM deals, etc.
I am seeing more banks, supermarkets, telecoms are taking that route.
It’s just the times we live in, people might never think to change suppliers, so prompting them otherwise in places they’re likely to see it will both help the customer save money most of the time, and a small bit of revenue for the entity providing the platform.
I’d question whether the things are actually at a discount. At best, there’s probably an introductory discount but the idea would likely be to make money from customer inertia over time.
I always check going direct to the retailer and going through those referral links.
Many times I have found prices from referral sites like Topcashback, Quidco and the like being higher than going directly (with the delayed cash back factored in).
