Wowcher Slashes Price of Hirix Portable Air Cooler
Wowcher has reduced the price of its Hirix Portable Air Cooler from £99 to £59, offering shoppers a budget-friendly way to tackle the heatwave. The compact unit is designed to cool and humidify the air, making it particularly useful during hot, dry weather.
The portable air cooler features a 4-litre water tank, three fan speeds and a 120° oscillation function to help circulate cool air more evenly around a room. It also includes a honeycomb cooling pad and an ice pack, which can be added to the water tank for an extra burst of chilled air on especially hot days.
Space-Saving Design and Quiet Operation
The convenient cooler has removable wheels so it can be easily moved between rooms, while its quiet operation makes it suitable for use in bedrooms at night. A built-in anti-dust filter also helps trap dust and airborne particles as it runs.
Measuring 58cm high, 22cm wide and 23cm deep, the compact cooler is aimed at those looking for a space-saving alternative to larger cooling units. It also doubles as a humidifier, helping to add moisture back into dry indoor air.
Customer Reviews Praise Performance
The Portable Oscillating Air Cooler deal has received plenty of positive feedback from shoppers, with several saying it has been particularly useful during the current spell of hot weather.
One customer said: "I was pleasantly surprised by this air cooler. It is very powerful and cooled my room brilliantly. As it is small, it can fit under my desk, which has been perfect during the heatwave. I definitely recommend this product."
Another reviewer wrote: "This is a good product; however, it's smaller than the one I already have, so I'm just using this in my bedroom, but it's cheap as chips for this reason of it being small."
A third shopper added: "Excellent portable air cooler and much needed in this heat. Great value for money and I highly recommend it." Another five-star review reads: "Brilliant, very good on all settings. Fantastic for our current weather."
Alternative Cooling Options
For shoppers comparing options, Argos is selling the Bush 6.5L Vortex Blade Air Cooler for £85. It uses water cooling technology to turn warm air into a cooler breeze and offers three fan speeds and three operating modes.
Amazon also stocks the KIMMOO Handheld Portable Turbo Fan with Ice Cooler for £27.99. The handheld device is designed for personal cooling and features an AI-powered cooling chip that targets areas such as the face and neck, making it better suited to outdoor use than cooling an entire room.
