We've got 2 air con units that we brought from homebase 4 years ago. One for the bedroom and the other we have in the living room and still going strong.

12000 BTU like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Homebase-...arden_Hearing_Cooling_Air&hash=item53fafef79e

Bit noisy. And the wife complains of being too cold. But they do a great job and I get a good nights kip.

Had smaller units in the past (9000 btu), but as bigbee said, they were sh*t and a waste of space.

Homebase model number is 275937.

Just before you buy one of these units they are ok, however you will need to empty a condensate tank on a regular basis and at the back of all these units is a large 6" hose which you are either required to leave drooping out of your window or place and outlet to an outside wall for a more permanent fixture, this is to remove the hot air from the room and if its left outside your window try to ensure that the hot air doesn't permiate back into the room thus short circuiting the effect.

As a rough rule of thumb guide on the size of the unit you require base your calcutaion on 150Watts per metre square

i.e 4m x 4m room = 16m2

16 x 150 = 2400 watts or 2.4kW
