Amazon has slashed the price of the Curvaop Portable Air Conditioner to £47.59, making it a cheaper alternative to Lidl and Aldi's recently launched cooling units during the ongoing heatwave. The deal is available for the final hours of Amazon Prime Day, which ends at midnight on June 26.
Price Comparison with Lidl and Aldi
Lidl's 3-in-1 air conditioner, priced at £149, has already sold out, while Aldi's £15 air cooler is expected to sell out soon. The Curvaop unit, usually £55.99, is now £47.59—over £100 cheaper than Lidl's sold-out model. Unlike Aldi's device, it is a true air conditioner rather than just a cooling fan.
Features and Design
The Curvaop Portable Air Conditioner features a compact, lightweight design that requires no installation. It uses an evaporation system to cool the air while maintaining comfortable humidity levels. Users can add ice cubes to the water tank for extra cooling. The unit offers three adjustable fan speeds, three spray modes, an adjustable angle, a timer setting, and built-in LED lights with multiple color options. It is powered by USB, allowing use with power banks or laptops, making it suitable for camping or office use.
Shopper Reviews
Amazon shoppers have praised the unit's effectiveness. One wrote: "This Air conditioner has work out to be perfect for my office space. I think it's a great option if you want it pointed at one side. I also really like that it's a cooler rather than just a fan." Another added: "Bought this during the hot weather and it's been really useful. I keep it on my desk while I'm working and it makes the room feel a lot more comfortable." However, some were less impressed, with one reviewer stating: "It's essentially a fan. Very small, and blows air. If you add ice cubes, the air is slightly cooler. That's pretty much it. It isn't capable of cooling an actual room, even a small one."
Alternative Options
For those seeking a more powerful solution, the Meaco Dry Arete One 25 Litre Dehumidifier is available at Argos for £300. It reduces moisture and humidity, helping homes feel cooler in summer. One shopper noted: "Good shape, efficacy for large space (2 story building). Reasonable with electric consumption. Not very noisy as you can sleep while it’s on."
