As the summer rolls on, so does the heat. Yet you don't have to stay sweaty and miserable. Check out these items to help you stay cool, hydrated and well read.

Stay Cool

Finding an energy-saving air conditioner is vital in the summer, since cooling is one of the biggest energy expenses. You can do both, stay cool and save energy, with the:

Haier Eco Air Conditioner. With a cooling capacity of 6,000 BTUs, this model uses less energy compared to many other brands. The coolant is said to result in no ozone depletion.

Stay Hydrated

Haier Water Dispenser. This water cooler (and heater) from Haier has handy features like a convenient refrigerator compartment, thermostats and more. The comparatively big refrigerator compartments are useful for storing beverages and other perishable food items.

Stay Well Read

Kindle DX. The Kindle DX is an eBook as thin as most magazines, and fits nicely in your hands. The beautiful, large display supports a broad range of reading materials. Graphic-rich books, blogs, magazines, newspapers and much more can be easily read with this design.

Any of these products will help you relax as you stay indoors and beat the summer heat. They are also more energy efficient than competing products.
