Wowcher’s £35 air cooler that could help households beat the heatwave

Wowcher has a bargain £35 air cooler that’ll help take the edge off this week’s heatwave

The UK is bracing for another heatwave, with temperatures forcasted to reach as high as 34 degrees. As it heats up, there’s one device that could help people beat the heat.

Wowcher has a discount on a portable air cooler for only £35 – perfect for those working from home or the bedroom, as temperatures are set to soar. The air cooler comes with a four-litre tank, which stores ice-cooled water and is distributed around the room.

Originally £98.99, the deals site is offering a much cheaper price to help keep shoppers cool. It comes with a number of speeds too, so it can be customised depending on how cool users want the room.

It also has 120-degree oscillation, so it can be evenly spread across the room it is put in. It even has a built-in dehumidifier to beat the muggy heat during the evenings. At 58cm high and 22cm wide, it’s compact too, so it won’t take up a huge part of the room it is situated in.

One important thing to note about this device is that it’s not an air conditioner, it’s an air cooler, so those expecting the effectiveness of an air conditioner might want to look elsewhere. Air coolers use water evaporation to cool the air, while air conditioners utilise a refrigerant-based system to cool and dehumidify.

Alternatively, those who want to really splash out might want to upgrade to an actual air conditioner. There’s this Argo air conditioner for £270 from Appliances Direct.

There’s also this £320 powerful Atmos air conditioner that has a built-in heat pump for when it gets cooler in the winter as well.

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 have been 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.”
