I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how, right at the height of the worst heatwave I can remember, my life had basically been saved by the arrival of a portable air conditioner from Dreo. That little (okay, quite big) unit has been a game-changer, completely saving my sleep and sanity, and the connected app tells me it's already run for over 300 hours since I got it.
Those are scary numbers for my electricity bill, though, and while it's still really quite toasty and hot this week in south London, the difference between 34 degrees and 28 degrees is striking. For one thing, it means aircon is no longer a total necessity, and it's seen me expand my approach to include a more relaxed (and affordable) cooling solution.
