I never thought Id be excited for a garbage can, but after going through multiple plastic cans and having the lid mechanism fail on cheaper metal cans, I broke down and got a more expensive one from Simple Human. I feel the quality everytime I use the step to toss something. It sounds so dumb, but I'm really blown away after years of crappy cans.

Aside from that, my python water changer for aquariums. That thing has been the goat for years at this point.

Perfect Aire 5000 btu window air conditioner. Its rated to work down to 18c outside.

I had another ac that pushed warm air when the temperature dripped to 18c

But this one keeps pushing cool air when the outside temps are as low as 13c.

Honest question: why would you need an air conditioner if the outside air is already 18C? Why not just bring in the outdoor air directly? How cool do you want the room? Any special purpose?

This mostly is a problem in late summer when it's still very warm in the daytime but cools down at night. I only have one window in my bedroom so the room stays warm at night even if it's cool outside.

During the day, I can cool the room to a comfortable level but the heat builds up as the night goes on without the AC. By 2 or 3am, it's too warm to sleep.
