they're a fair old bit more than that over here, ritch. plus i can't really justify the expense against the odd couple of weeks a year when it might get used.
summer is seemingly over and done with here now, anyroad.
5000btu is 109 exact. It's indespensable. The humidity is f'in gross and it's used for much more than a few mere weeks here. Up until mid october even, so not worth sweating your balls to save a few bucks. It's like heat in winter. A must.
the last 2 weeks here have been ungodly humid, yesterday I opened the door and shut it right away, beyond invasive. Trying to cook in such hot weather is impossible or even clean after.
But if you can take the heat, that's good, I can't!
