"I bought a PinguinoEco model by DeLonghi from Costco, maybe 12+ years ago, and it is still going strong! ... I got it blasting in my computer room right now as good as the day I brought it home."
"I have a DeLonghi Pinguino. I got it at Costco in 2021 and it’s worked like a champ every summer."
"Had it about 4 years and no complaints."

"It’s got the same cooling capacity as most of the other ones, but it is *significantly* quieter than any other model we’ve had. ... not having to decide between not being able to sleep because of the heat or because of the noise is the critical factor."
"The De'Longhi Pinguino was WAY quieter than the Honeywell I tried ... If you're a light sleeper, the extra money for a quieter unit is worth every penny."
"Noise is acceptable to me even for sleeping, but it’s not silent."

"Half an hour ago the bedroom was 30C and uncomfortably humid, despite the curtains being shut all day. Now it’s 22C and very comfortable. It’s like walking into the fridge."
"I had it going 24 hours a day in the living room of my 1 bedroom apartment, around 750 sq ft. I was so comfortable I was baking and cooking while reading posts in my local sub from people who were absolutely miserable and had blocked off all but 1 room in their house and even multiple a/c units couldn’t keep that 1 room cool, or apartments that were in the high 90s inside even with an a/c unit."
"Upstairs one cools two fairly decent sized rooms to a nice chilly temp"

"Very very loud"
"Loud as hell. ... Ditto works really well, but loud as hell."
"even the ones sold as “silent” are really pretty noisy. I can just about sleep with our Delonghi Piguino on it’s so called silent mode."

"Those Delonghi units are essentially disposable. ... They work fine for 12 to 18 months, then they die."
"We have been through probably 3 Delonghi Penguino units in the past 4-5 years. ... One of those 3 was a DOA unit that was warrantied after about 20 days, so really only 2 units in 5 years."
"our DeLonghi costing twice the price failed after 3 summers."

"Yes, but I never know when it fills up or what makes it fill up. ... It has overflowed multiple times, so now I keep a thick towel under it just in case."
We bought a DeLonghi portal air unit in 2019 I believe. [Similar to this.](https://www.kaufland.de/product/333757697/?kwd=&source=pla&id_unit=386926970163&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=22420973441&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22414446954&gbraid=0AAAAADprSmG_-iRc8Eeirg3wRv57qxA60&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyIPDBhDBARIsAHJyyVjYjCCLOj0RUAhUR4dh9_F6PMZAuW7Rbv9b6Fzd4g64bN6jG58bcXcaAgMwEALw_wcB) Used it every year between the bedroom and my office for maybe four weeks a year. TOTALLY WORTH IT. It will cool off a room to be very comfortable. You don't need to keep it running, or we didn't. We turned in on 30 minutes before bed, the bedroom was cool when we got in bed, had a timer set for 2 hours. In the office, I would turn it on mid morning for about 2 hours. The room would stay comfortable a few more hours. Maybe I turned it on towards the end of the work day if the heat became uncomfortable again. Oh, there is a vent tube you don't see in the photos. [We have something similar to this set up when the AC is being used.](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Conditioning-Conditioners-Exhaust-Windows-Casement/dp/B0DY79H62K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2A6PLX2SMC0TA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MtGGRHD6b2soMBjzlJVYBhGjVGN1Eb4V6zQNHxLS3ERuYmM-LMNySkEsdYsm9-2V6D3efNr72aItHVtjK16rDJssiKcrIMUmdmAWvZRHz1V8ZiTqKDpWrzSIb3W4UfKyswAHnP8KtWM8BqK69-YqDdyzGpxkuS-NqvruowcOj29gnoQAtII-lngLtKYf2uJfG2dXHguc_nudDL2DKnGvr4kknSuqvifpy6xvqzKd-H0.D-qGh6owB3VvKU2EoB617YfVPiiHvU0idB-0CtlayRw&dib_tag=se&keywords=Window%2BSeal%2Bfor%2BMobile%2BAir%2BConditioner&qid=1751210293&sprefix=window%2Bseal%2Bfor%2Bmobile%2Bair%2Bconditioner%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-1&th=1)
r/germany • Mobile air conditioner in Germany ->I bought a PinguinoEco model by DeLonghi from Costco, maybe 12+ years ago, and it is still going strong! I got it blasting in my computer room right now as good as the day I brought it home.
r/Costco • Midea Portable Air Conditioner High Pitched Noise ->Pinguino crew big up!
r/CasualUK • who here owns a portable air conditioning unit, are they worth the money? ->Mine is a DeLonghi Pinguino. Had it about 4 years and no complaints. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9453490
r/AskUK • What can cool my room in the heat that doesn’t require installation? ->Yes. We use it in our living room which is quite large and open and it's great. The hose goes up the chimney. If you used it in a single room it would be Arctic-like which I'd love 😄 I would say it isn't noisy but not sure others would be able to cope with it being on. It's a similar level of noise to an airfryer, imo.
r/AskUK • What can cool my room in the heat that doesn’t require installation? ->Buy a delonghi pinguino, adapt a second tube ( intake ) to don’t suck any cold air from inside to cool down the compressor! Place near a window, tubes outside, and find a way to isolate so no hot air comes inside! If u need some tips, i can show you my setup!
r/Switzerland • Todays weather has pushed me to buy a mobile Air conditioning unit. ->Got a couple of delonghi pinguino ones and they're really good. Upstairs one cools two fairly decent sized rooms to a nice chilly temp and one downstairs chills the open plan downstairs and while it's not freezing (the poor AC unit isn't designed for this square footage...) it makes a pretty decent dent and brings the temp down alot. Would recommend.
r/CasualUK • who here owns a portable air conditioning unit, are they worth the money? ->Go for it but remember that even the ones sold as “silent” are really pretty noisy. I can just about sleep with our Delonghi Piguino on it’s so called silent mode. You also have to set it to a much cooler temperature that it’ll never get to. Otherwise it makes a small noise when it gets to temperature and stops, and a much noisier clunk when it restarts. But still worth it. Also consider homemade ventilation ideas. If it’s hotter inside than outside, it’s faster and cheaper to get some outside air in and that inside air out.
r/CasualUK • who here owns a portable air conditioning unit, are they worth the money? ->Me too, after our DeLonghi costing twice the price failed after 3 summers. Nothing beats a proper installed split system.
r/CasualUK • Portable air con recommendations? ->We've got one of those, great machine, but their claim for it being silent is complete bullshit lol, nothing silent about it. Still, very glad we have it.
r/CasualUK • who here owns a portable air conditioning unit, are they worth the money? ->300 sq ft. Delonghi Pinguino. Noise is acceptable to me even for sleeping, but it’s not silent.
r/AskUK • Are ACs much cheaper to buy in the winter? Do they work that well anyway? ->Hola! Si no tienes opción de instalar un aire acondicionado, te recomiendo comprar un pingüino (un aire acondicionado portátil). Yo lo compré para el comedor y algo hace. A parte de eso, como ya te ha comentado otra persona, baja las persianas durante el día. La oscuridad es tu nueva amiga jajajaja.
