UK heatwave next week? I’m not sweating it

I see you survived the previous UK heatwave — congratulations. I almost didn’t, as melting like a 99 makes me increasingly ratty with a severe lack of sleep (as my fiancée found out), and more mistake-prone at work (sorry, boss).

But I have bad news: weather forecasts are predicting another one with temperatures going as high as 32 degrees on Sunday, June 29, and peaking at 35 degrees next week!
At this point, companies are busy discounting those fans that have ice trays at the bottom. I’ve tried them, and they do naff all. Normally, actual air conditioners spike in price, but I’ve just found a Prime Day deal with overnight delivery that you should buy right now.

The Avalla S-95 3-in-1 Air Conditioner is a massive 56% off at Amazon — taking the price down of this 7,000 BTU monster to just £189. With enough power to cool a room up to 68 cubic metres, this is going to be more than enough to help you not spontaneously combust in the oncoming heatwave.

Avalla S-95 Air Conditioning Unit: was £429 now £189 at Amazon
The Avalla S-95 AC unit is currently rated 4.4 stars on Amazon, and is the cheapest air conditioner with this power you can buy right now. With 56% off and an incoming heatwave, Prime delivery is also available to get it tomorrow ahead of when the UK melts (again).

What is a BTU?
This is a British Thermal Unit (innit), which indicates the cooling capacity of an air con — basically how much heat it can get rid of in a room over the course of one hour.
While this number can go far higher than the 7,000 BTUs you see here, this is a solid number that means you could cool a small-to-medium-sized room. Think anywhere between 150-350 square feet.
Why buy the Avalla S-95?
There’s a balance here between capability and value for money that you won’t find elsewhere. Of course, there are slightly cheaper ACs that are weaker in performance, but in terms of making an investment that doesn’t just solve the immediate heatwave problem, it’s also multi-purpose and energy efficient.
The S-95 is the cheapest 7,000-BTU unit I’ve ever seen, and its price actually puts it on par with a lot of 5,000-BTU machines — meaning you can actually get a lot more for your money here.
It’s a 3-in-1 unit, too, so not only is it a cooler, it’s an all-purpose fan as well, and even a 20-litre dehumidifier for those moments when you’re drying your laundry indoors.
And finally, this 780W cooler is Class A energy rated. You could run this at just 12p per hour, which is significant given the footprint any high-power AC can make on your energy bills. So if you’re trying to make it through these heatwaves in one piece, don’t suffer with fans and ice cubes like I did in the past. Get something that will help for years to come.
