Win a portable air conditioner worth R4 499!

December 9, 2016 by Heather Step 11 Comments

competition-bannerAsk any mom of little kids what she craves most of all and I’ll bet that somewhere near the top of that list is sleep. Often the reason why children do not sleep so soundly is because they are uncomfortable for some reason. And with the summer weather heating up, we could all do with a bit of assistance in the form of some cool air.

air-con-boxI remember the first time this season when I dragged the air con out and placed it next to Nicky’s bed: I finally had a good, uninterrupted night’s sleep. (Of course there are times when he has kicked the blankets off and gets a snotty nose, but that is another story…) A cool head means a peaceful sleep and we all need that, including children.

Fortunately GMC Aircon and SA Mom blogs have come to your rescue with a competition: we are giving away a portable GMCP10 to one lucky reader!

One thing is for sure, the seasons are getting warmer, with record temperatures to be set as we enter the peak of the season. It’s becoming more commonplace for us to have air conditioners in our homes and if you don’t have one in yours, then this is the chance you have been waiting for!

The product features

air-conThe GMCP10 portable air-con comes complete with a free window bracket kit and is backed by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty and a five-year warranty on the compressor. With a powerful double condenser technology, It’s the ideal cooling solution that provides high-powered rapid operation while remaining energy efficient, reducing your household carbon footprint.

The GMCP10 portable aircon is easy to move between rooms in the house, allowing you to stay cool wherever you are. The built-in ioniser removes harmful bacteria from the air, keeping your home clean and germ free for your family. This coupled with a powerful cooling action of 10,000 BTU Portable Aircon (BTU =British Thermal Unit) and programmable memory, this is a true set-and-forget unit that will go to work in providing cool, clean air for your home and with the remote control, changing the climate is easily done all from your armchair!

Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse  and @your_motivationalcoach sipping cappacino and having a nice chicken sandwich and brownie squares while Nicky had a muffin and some pies. He was also giving me a blow by blow of squid games. 😂
