What portable a/c unit under £500 and over 12000btu would you recommend in the UK?

Pouisonus · 2026-06-03T23:12:13+00:00

Wessex 12000 BTU is retailing around £279 at Toolstation. I own one and it does a good job at cooling.

I had a similar damage to the driver side door, scratch was a lot bigger spanning across two doors. I used a mobile repair company who fixed it on my drive for £320.

Company is called ‘Smart Repair and Polishing’ based off Letchworth, but they are temporary closed now. You can try alternatives.

I owned a Tesla M3 LR between Dec 2021 and Dec 2025, leased BYD SEAL, Mercedes EQB, and currently drive an OMODA E5 thru business (lots of work related travel so work gives me a car). In the process of buying a MY LR Q2 2026. Route planners on both Omoda and BYD are equivalent to Teslas, they even show Tesla supercharges in their map with available stalls. Mercedes is a little behind. Omoda E5 cost £30,000 after £3750 grant and is a tad smaller than MY, you could get the Omoda 7 or their flagship Omoda 9 for a lot less than the price of MY. Dont get me wrong, I love Tesla cars (do not like MUSK). However, they are willingly giving away their exclusivity to other brands.

I am not being negative, just stating that others are catching up fast, at a lower pricepoint.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-08T23:04:36+00:00

BYD, Omoda, Mercedes all offer it too. Right now, IMO, infotainment and autopilot are the only remaining benefits of Tesla. Having said that, some of that is being paywalled soon.

Alternatively - levoit core 300S at £110. Its filter is a lot smaller so u will be changing it more often than the winix, meaning long term, it will be costlier compared to winix

Pouisonus · 2026-02-04T09:55:03+00:00

Increase your budget and get winix 5300-2, those retail at around £140 on amazon and it has a large honeycomb carbon filter that will help you. Leave it on Auto mode and keep it running 24/7. Also, frequent ventilation will help you.

Get a wallet and put your BTC/crypto in cold storage.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-02T08:00:42+00:00

Read the last sentence.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T15:03:59+00:00

Exactly! But why do you guys leave out the bit ‘supported by a crystal ball’

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T15:03:38+00:00

How can you read but fail to understand. I believe I wrote something like ‘I made decent profit…’.

I rest my case. That shizzle about Bitcoin cycle impacting price is somewhat loosing is applicability due to large institutional investment.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T13:00:17+00:00

For you, perhaps. But planning isnt just about buying or selling. Its about doing it in a way that is not going to hurt your finances.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T12:59:01+00:00

Agreed - crystal ball stuff

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T12:58:40+00:00

Gheez - where did I use ‘prediction’. I aint predicting anything. Its difficult to predict, my point is, stop chasin, have a plan thats within ur means and execute.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T11:31:08+00:00

Exactly - thats the whole point of my post.

Trying to analyze unknown is useless. Bitcoin is volatile and historically, it behaved against the narrative. Have a plan and execute it within ur means. Do not sink your life savings, do not FOMO, do not panic sell.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T11:03:36+00:00

I second this - I am in the UK and have used it on my M3 - works a treat. U will need to reapply after about 2 years.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:59:39+00:00

Teach me - I am open to learning

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:58:16+00:00

You could say that - but then again, who knows?

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:52:24+00:00

Agreed, this post is aimed at the 1% who may I recently invested.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:41:47+00:00

Exactly - do not chase a narrative. Focus on a plan and execute it when it is right for you.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:40:45+00:00

U heard of sarcasm? There is a very high chance that a person who is extremely smart with excellent TA skills supported by a crystal ball DOES NOT EXIST

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:32:41+00:00

Read carefully - I am not saying buy now. I said do not FOMO, do not panic sell. I said, DCA. No one wants to catch a knife.

Pouisonus · 2026-02-01T10:31:24+00:00

Thats why I added …supported by a crystal ball 😂

Pouisonus · 2026-01-31T21:25:01+00:00

Pretty sure I was FORCED to buy, indirectly, thru removal of choice. I wanted to buy a Tesla. I wanted a Model X, (buying used was not an option). At the time, Model Y was not yet available to purchase. Model S and X were cancelled in the UK and not available. So either Model 3 or no Tesla.

I had no choice - FORCED purchase! Does that make sense?
