Wowcher knocks £98 air cooler down to £35 as Scotland to hit 28C
With another heatwave to hit the country, an air cooler has become a must-have for households.
It is fair to say that households in the UK are not equipped to deal with heatwaves. With many homes lacking air conditioning, an essential in warmer climates, Brits generally struggle when hit with a heat whether they are in or outdoors.
The Met Office predicts temperatures will reach as high as 28C in Pitlochry and North Berwick tomorrow (August 13). This is followed not far behind by Glasgow and Stirling sitting at a toasty 26C. In order to battle these soaring temperatures, a fan or air cooler is a must-have device.
For those looking for a robust air cooler to keep their household at a comfortable temperature throughout the day, Wowcher has dropped the price of a fast selling product. The 4L Portable Air Cooler usually retails for £98.99, but savvy shoppers can now grab it for £34.99.
Unlike a fan, this air cooler stores ice-cooled water in its four litre tank and distributes it around the room. Equipped with a few speed choices, shoppers will be able to select the best temperature to achieve a comfortable and cool atmosphere, reports the Mirror.
On top of this, the cooler features a handy 120 degree oscillation so there are no random warm patches left in your room. With dimensions of 58cm high and 22cm wide, this cooler can also easily be placed in any space without taking up too much room.

Product Description
This device is also perfect for use during warm nights as it comes with a built-in humidifier, which will be able to help lessen the muggy heat that can result in an interrupted and uncomfortable sleep.
However, it should also be noted that this device is an air cooler, not an air conditioner. While air coolers use water evaporation to cool the air around you, air conditioners instead use a refrigerant-based system to cool which can be more powerful at times.
For those looking for an air conditioner, it should be warned they usually come with a hefty price tag. Argos is currently selling the Challenge 5K Air Conditioner for £350. This device comes with two speeds and also requires external ventilation.
Alternatively, if shoppers would rather a standing fan, Amazon is selling the Dimplex DXACF Tower Fan for £69.99. Equipped with three speeds and four modes, this fan comes with an auto timer so shoppers won't need to worry about wasting energy throughout the night.
Now while there are no reviews of the Portable Air Cooler on Wowcher's website, the retailer has been given high praise on Trustpilot - where it currently has a 4.3 star rating.
One highly satisfied shopper said: "Great offers all the time, very easy to understand all the terms and great service."
While another five-star reviewer added: "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."
However, not everyone was happy with their experience, as one person wrote: "Website is really hard to understand and it doesn't really explain about vouchers."
With another person adding: "To tell the truth I struggled with this. Couldn't get into my account, kept going round in circles. I have now redeemed my offer but didn't know how to do this at first. Need more info when placing an order."
Despite this, a top reviewer said: "Lots to choose from at great prices, I have used Wowcher a few times and never had an issue."
With a sixth customer commenting: "I searched what I wanted to buy, found it on excellent deal, paid for it in minutes. Excellent service will be back and will highly recommend to friends and family."
Shoppers can now grab the 4L Portable Air Cooler from Wowcher for £34.99.
