You wouldn’t be the only one if you’ve been struggling in the heat these past few days.

Much of Australia is in the grip of a heatwave, with temperatures well above 20 degrees all night — making it clammy and difficult to fall asleep.

Help is at hand via the Shinco 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Cooling, Dehumidifier and Fan — which has had its price slashed by 20 per cent on Amazon.

Reduced from $499.99 to $399.95 for a limited time only, shoppers can get their hands on the portable unit, which has a three-in-one function with cooling, fan and dehumidifying options.

The cooling mode will provide powerful cooling when it’s hot, the fan mode circulates the air and the dehumidifier mode is ideal for wet and rainy weather.

One of the great things about the unit is it has a built-in timer from one to 24 hours.

You can either have the fan on all the time, or set it on a timer so it will turn off when you go to sleep or forget to turn it off.

You can also turn the air conditioner on in advance through the timer function, so you feel the cool air immediately as soon as you get through the door.

Those who have invested in the portable air conditioner have raved about it, saying they love the smart LCD panel, remote control and stylish finish.

Nice efficient compact unit,” one shopper wrote.

Works very well straight out of the box. Quite silent and unobtrusive. Very compact. Good flow of even and comfortable cool air. Can be recommended.”

Another said: “It cools very well and manages to cool down the whole apartment. It’s early days, but so far I’m very happy and can definitely recommend it!”

This isn’t the only cooling option you can get your hands on from Amazon either right now.

Shoppers are also rushing to get their hands on a “perfect” budget fan that they say has been a “lifesaver” in the heatwave currently sweeping much of Australia’s East coast.

The Advwin 2 in 1 Bladeless Fan Cooler, which costs $142.99 on Amazon, is unlike many other traditional fans, in that its bladeless look gives soft and comfortable air flow - without making a racket.

Many who have bought the fan love either using it in their home office or bedrooms, and they particularly love the timer feature which means you can set the fan to blow air from one to 12 hours long - without having to get out of bed freezing at midnight and turn it off.

Others love the fact that despite only costing $139.99, the fan looks and works remarkably similarly to a Dyson - coming in white, white and blue or grey and purple colourways.

It also functions as an air purifier and works to purify the air in your home.

The fan is so popular that Amazon say that it has become the bestseller in the fan category, selling hundreds of units already this month.
