Lidl has a cheap portable AC in stock – collect from your local store now
A Tronic 3-in-1 AC unit for £149? Yes please, Lidl
Are you as tired of the absurdly hot nights as I am? Last night at 11pm, the bedroom thermometer said it was 32C – so it was a struggle to sleep, even with a great Meaco fan doing its best to help.
Today, however, I was updating the best fans and portable AC live tracker when – and I was frankly surprised – I managed to find an air-conditioning unit in stock. At Lidl. Indeed, I could get up from my desk right now and go buy one.

You've gotta love 'The Middle of Lidl', right? The odds 'n' ends aisle of total chaos that, just sometimes, can really deliver the goods. And here is one such find. Better still? This AC unit is under £150!
It's called the Tronic 3-in-1 and, depending on your local store's stock, of course, you could literally pick one up today and sleep that much better tonight. Note that it's a small unit, designed for rooms "between 30 and 45m cubed".
The Tronic is designed to cool, ventilate and dehumidify all from the one box – much like many of the best AC units available do. Just at a considerably lower price than those, which we all know is a Lidl key selling point.
There's a tank in the product, so while there is a drain hose (that's 1.5m long) you can rely on this 500ml to collect condensed water for you to dispose of separately. There's also an air filter, which you'll need to clean or replace from time to time.
The Tronic 3-in-1 comes complete with on-device controls, but there's a battery-powered remote in the box too. And it features a 3-year warranty, too, which is unheard of for many a product – let alone one that's under £150!
Right, that's it. I'm off to Lidl for 'lunch'. Except I may leave with nothing but air-cooling tech instead... Here's hoping there's still one remaining by the time I get there. You can check your local stock using Lidl's tool linked here.
