I can't take the heat any more!

Looking at a mobile/cheap air con unit.

B&Q do a couple (although out of stock at the moment) around £180.

Anyone used this before or another similar unit? Any good for cooling
down a 12x12 ft room?

As others have said the water filled ones aren't much cop (although some can
be filled with ice) and the portable proper ones don't have much power. A
friend of mine has one and it's about 500W or less of cooling. If you think
about how much energy it takes to heat a room up then it needs the same sort
of power to cool it down. And he has problems sealing around the exhaust
pipe (uses towel stuffed around the window).
