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

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.

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?!!?

Most important. It’s black and sits unobtrusively in the fireplace in our bedroom. We have an Edwardian property and the bedrooms can get very warm in summer. This sits nicer in the fireplace and the vent tube goes easily up the chimney a few feet. As far as these things go the “quiet” mode is quite a bit less noisy than other devices of its kind. Aesthetically the Italian styling pleases my wife. Disadvantage is the high price.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this mainly for the "Quiet" feature and that it was in Black so looked different and sleek from previous Aircon units I've purchased. Honestly its no different to bog standard aircon units at half the price of this, in fact its really noisy - don't waste your money! Listen to the unit in action in the video, its horrendously loud in aircon mode which let's face it, is the only mode you want it in otherwise you'd use a fan. Also when it arrived the sleek black casing wasn't even properly mounted with half the panel on one side not clipped in properly, not what you expect from a £700+ unit. Awful buy.

It is a brilliant machine and it is very quiet compared to my last one but to be fair the last one was 180 pound worked great for a few weeks but all of a suden needed tank emptyed every 20 min refered to book book said if this happen contact delonghi he just palmed me off with rubish why would it work without tank being emptyed for weeks then all of a sudden every 20 min and why would book say con delonghi if not a prob i put system on a table with hose comming out of tank into a jug as to difficult to emty otherwise especialy when u have to do so offten and dont get me rong this works but 1000 pound is a lot of money to have to emty a jug every 20 min was nightmare when taking outside so i dont no maybe this is normal i am sure not again why say con delonghi if it was normal

After searching for portable air conditioning machines to replace the one I'd had for a few years, I eventually chose the Pinguino PACEX 120 silent model for a number of reasons. 11,500 BTU is slightly more than I need for my room size, so hopefully, it won't have to struggle like my last one had to. Also, I liked the specifications: Dehumidify Function, Real Feel technology, and energy rating. As for its silent mode, it's perfectly acceptable and certainly quieter than my last one. And then, finally, its looks and style are gorgeous, elegant and very Italian, oh, the remote is good too, and I really like the motorized air vent that gives the option to have cold air going upwards or straight ahead, or both.

The air conditioner is a good as the 5 star reviews claim, bit loud but great value for money. The real purpose of my review is to praise the customer service of the seller Duxotte. An incident occured where an employee uploaded an incorrect tracking number, resulting in amazon announcing my air conditioner as delivered when it had not yet arrived, i panicked fearing the worst, I contacted the seller (Duxotte) who cleared everything up WITHIN HOURS and put me at ease, everything arrived a few days later as i had been assured. 5 stars for customer service.
