Amazon's 'personal' air conditioner now £34 ahead of 30C heatwave
With the weather set to get even hotter this weekend, people might not cope without some help to keep cool The weather is already scorching across the UK, and the weekend (July 12 and 13) is expected to take things up a notch, with highs passing 30C in some parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. While the sun isn't a problem at night, the humid temperatures can make the evenings and early hours unbearable for some. A simple fan could give a little bit of relief, but even these devices aren't going to be helpful in stifling heat. Brits could invest in something that could help cool their personal space without having to fight over the direct breeze of a fan in this weather. The JML Airmax Air Cooler, Portable Fan and Humidifier is usually £39.99, but for the last few hours of Amazon's Prime Day (which ends at midnight on July 11, 2025), it's available for £33.99 - a 15% saving. This compact unit is easy to put anywhere in your home that needs a cooling boost. Water that is added to the machine runs through a filter and specially designed diffuser to create a "fine mist of cool, refreshing air" that is then spread throughout the room by a four-speed fan. JML stated through Amazon: "Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter so only uses evaporation and water to operate. It humidifies while it cools your personal breathing space so you can stay cool and breathe moist, humid air wherever the weather is hot and muggy - day or night." The cooler, which claims to run for up to 10 hours on a single fill, might help people sleep and exist a little easier in sweltering temperatures. There are similar units available elsewhere - such as the Beldray 6L Portable Air Cooler (Argos, £60) or (£19.99, Debenhams). However, shoppers might be convinced by the thousands of Amazon shoppers who also vouched for the JML machine. Over 2,900 people shared their thoughts online, including 1,400 people who thought it deserved a flawless five stars. One said: "With no air conditioning at work, the summer is unbearable, so this is my second purchase of this cooler. The old one was used relentlessly for three summers and still works, but I broke the vent. The unit is perfect for one person to use. If you sit in front of it at a desk, you will benefit. It is so effective that five people at work have purchased one too!" Another added: "I have been struggling to sleep. A normal fan blows hot air around, but this one does the job—it's amazing. You can even put the cartridge in the freezer. I saw reviews about the noise level, but it's no louder than a normal fan." A third wrote: "It cools the space around you and it really does [that well]. Is only a small, light box but it's wonderful to sit near it and [makes you] feel so much more comfortable." But, not all feedback was as glowing. One customer claimed that it "wasn't much cooler than a fan" while another said: "The unit is fairly cheap plastic and, as other reviews have stated, it is certainly not "whisper quiet." You could just about sleep through it on its lowest setting. It's only really effective from a close distance and ideally would have to be placed level and pointed at your face at all times." Someone else put: "I couldn't cope without mine! Sit right in front of it and you won't be disappointed. I bought four so we can have one per person and another in the kitchen while cooking." And, one more added: "I am bedbound and suffer greatly in the hot weather, I have tried many fans of all types and none of them have brought lasting relief, but this little box truly does deliver properly cool air. So happy with it that I have ordered another for my husband." If you don't like our community, you can check out any time you like. If you're curious, you can read our Privacy Notice here.

'Quiet and cold' 3-in-1 air conditioner perfect for summer now almost 20% off on Amazon
"Three-speeds, it's quiet and cold, really helped for summer. Recommend it!!! Love it!!!!" Homes in Scotland certainly aren't built for dealing with warm weather, and summer can come with unbearably hot nights if you don't have any aircon in your home. But luckily, a top-rated air conditioner is currently on a generous 18 per cent discount on Amazon. The Midea 5L Air Cooler, 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner usually retails at £109.99, but shoppers can currently grab one for a much more reasonable £89.99. The cooler is perfect for hot summer nights, and with strict noise control, it won't be too loud to sleep with either. Simply adding water to the 5L tank enhances humidity in dry environments, providing a refreshing atmosphere to the room, and with two ice packs included, shoppers can enjoy cool relief during the summer days for up to 12 hours, according to the product's description. Equipped with a large-air wet curtain, this air cooler promises to deliver a maximum airflow of 1600m³/h and a max wind speed of 6m/s. This mobile air conditioner uses innovative Cascade Flow Evaporative Cooling Technology to pass warm air over ice-cold water, providing rapid and comfortable cooling into the room while balancing humidity levels. Users can select from three speeds and two operation modes- normal and natural- to tailor to the user's comfort level. The cooler also has a 75° automatic oscillation feature, which allows for even air distribution throughout the room, ensuring everyone enjoys a refreshing breeze. Its 7-hour timer allows users to set the cooler fan for their preferred duration of time. For those browsing alternative air conditioners, Argos offers the Bush 5K Air Conditioner for a pricier £280, although it's currently reduced from its original price of £350. Argos also offers the more budget-friendly Beldray 6L Portable Air Cooler for £100, which has a slightly larger water tank than Amazon's option. But the discounted air conditioner on Amazon is receiving glowing reviews, with a stellar rating of 4.7 stars out of a possible five. One happy shopper said: "It's easy to set up. My boy likes it so much. Three-speed, it's quiet and cold, really helped for summer. Recommend it!!! Love it!!!!" Another customer said: "Midea is a very famous brand in China. It's great to be able to purchase this brand in the UK. The quality of this product is truly excellent. "It has complete functions, is easy to use, and comes with a remote control for convenient operation at any time. It's much better than ordinary fans. "It's noise-free and can be adjusted to a night sleep mode. It's really worth buying." However, a less satisfied customer was slightly unimpressed at the lack of sturdiness in the product, saying: "Decent enough product but one of the cable clips did break off when I was putting it together." Yet another happy customer said: "A large, effective and stylish looking evaporative cooling fan. It is bigger than I expected, but does a fantastic job of cooling the room down with and without using the evaporative cooling mode. "As the warmer weather has only just started, the fan alone is ample to keep me cool at night." The air conditioner can be purchased here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
