De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX120 Silent | Portable Air Conditioner with Real Feel Technology | 110m³, 11,500 BTU, A Energy Efficiency, Black

The media could not be loaded. This is a really good AC unit. It is a bit of a wooshing sound but that is to be expected of any air conditioning, portable or fixed. It does not stop me sleeping and is a godsend on those humid nights. The wheels make it easy to move and the remote control makes it easy to change modes without even getting up.My husband has now made a hole in the wall so that we don't need to have the window open although it worked well like that. I just wanted it to be neater.It cools the room down quickly and keeps it at the level you are comfortable with.This model is a cut above the rest on looks alone so was worth the extra paid.Highly highly recommended.*UPDATE 20255 years later still going strong. I've just done a video to show the noise level when it's on quiet.The reason I'm back on here is to order a second as this one has been so good.Still highly recommended

a few months in now of use its been a godsend in the hot weather no doubt about it.... i stand by all what I have said below but the silent mode does take the noise down enough to be still on a conference call without it being too noisy. I wouldn't be without it now on these hot summer days, so as long as you can put up with the hassles of below then I would recommend it.Ok so a number of things to know with the Pinguino PACEX 120 silent1. It’s heavy ! Wheeling it around on one floor is fine but if you want to lift it between floors then good luck with that, the grab handles on the side of the unit are not deep enough to hold it with confidence and it’s around 32kg so unless you are a gym fanatic then you will need two people to lift it2. It’s NOISY ! With the refrigerator on (the compressor) then it’s noisy, imagine your fridge at full tilt then x 10 ! You get the drift. So forget being able to be on a conference call and not hearing it in the background. This is total misinformation from the manufacturer about it being silent…the silent mode still sounds like a 747 going overhead3. It’s a brilliant cooler however and can cool down a medium size room double quick so you can just turn it on and off as you need too. It can cool down a room to 18c in less then 30 mins and it stays cool for while depending on how hot it outside of course4. It is relatively expensive to run. My smart meter jumps by 25p per hour to run it with the cooler runner. The fan mode is like 2p per hour by comparison5. It’s big! It’s the size of a very large suitcase by comparison6. The standard exhaust pipe is useless, super thick and very short so unless you have it right next to the window or have it purposefully next to a hole in the wall then forget it. I bought a extra long 6m thinner version from Amazon and it’s fine7. Oh yeah and that hose, it’s pain in the wotsit, you need somewhere to vent the warm air (and it does get hot) so think carefully where you would do that. It comes with various attachments and some metal plate thingy but unless you have sash windows then they are all useless. Just buy the above extension and stick the pipe out of the window in another room.8. It has a handy remote control in fairness which is very responsive and allows you to control the modes etc. It has a holder on top of the unit which you can put it in once done.So key question is would I recommend it?....given the limited options on the market then YES if you want a cooler and not a fan, but be aware of all of the above if you buy it. They aren’t cheap and come with hassles but with the temperatures getting hotter and hotter in the UK then what choice other than a properly installed a/c unit do you have?!!?

Awful machine. Extremely noisey, I have other machines that are the same btu but are 10 times more quieter than this.Will have to unfortunately now sent back

Great machine. Good looking, easy to use. Quiet. Easy set up. Excellent quality. Very efficient . Bigger than I expected and heavier. Not something you would want to move often. One criticism is the length of the hose. It is very short. I have ordered an extension and wish I had done that when I ordered the machine. Delivery was on time. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Nice looking aircon unit to replace a competitor’s unit that was delivered faulty. This one costs three hundred pounds more than the one we sent back and the room temperature does not reduce as much as the first one we bought, the noise is not too bad but makes little to no difference whether or not silent mode is used. The large LED display on the front of the unit does not turn off at night, this is also in our experience an expensive to run unit. It’s okay but hasn’t delivered the outcome that we expected for a premium priced product. As soon as the competitor’s unit is back in stock, we will buy that one instead and save three hundred pounds. In our personal opinion, it cools but not significantly enough, it is fairly quiet but not ground breaking and isn’t energy efficient.

Incredible. I'm on a canal boat where the whole thing including the roof is made of solid steel. In a heat wave its like being in a hot car with the windows up, parked directly under the sun you can BBQ off my roof. This unit has dropped the temp inside down to 18oc. It's like im in a fridge I keep laughing when I remember there's a heatwave out there! Get this unit. Just do it.

Love it. Decided to go with Delonghi as we have a 23year old machine that still works and needed for one another roomProsEco Reel Feel Function is an fantastic, controlling both the temperature and humidity while I sleep is awesomeCools the room down very quicklyEasy to wheel aroundGood length hoseConsNone

Powerful and quiet cooling delivered quickly. One point docked as hose not long enough to be put out through the window, but a short piece of 5 inch ducting, a jubilee clamp and some duck tape sorted that out easily. Note that it is very heavy to move up and down stairs, but rolls easily between rooms on the same floor.
