3rd_Floor_AgainWe shamelessly bought a portable one here in Switzerland, De'Longhi Pinguino, pretty good.
bobijntjeI got a good AC from the Italian brand DeLonghi. Also got another one from Ayce (do have split level apartment). The DeLonghi one is the best of them two.
butts____mcgeePinguino crew big up!
catman_daveYes, and I recommend buying one second hand in the cold months. Pinguinos and suchlike, used a few times selling for 75 quid on t'ebay
CraigIsAwakeMy De'Longhi was still going fine when I put it out for hard rubbish after about 20 years.
Diligent-Apricot-416I love Black & Decker. Used to love Pingüino when Costco sold them.
Dramatic_Prior_9298Mine is a DeLonghi Pinguino. Had it about 4 years and no complaints. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9453490
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.
DrawerPuzzleheaded49Buy 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!
