I also disagree. I have this one and when installed properly it is actually great. Even if by design it’s not nearly as efficient as a split unit. https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/delonghi-pac-ex-130-cst-wifi-48-m-13000-btuh-air-conditioners-54814311 Also, even if the noise of the compressor is loud, it has such a nice frequency that it makes me fall asleep very easily.

I had a delonghi "smart" one. It was anything but smart. I put my back out taking the first one back because it didn't work. The second one wasn't any better. I could never get the WiFi to work, so no smart features, the remote control would disconnect all the time, and the entire unit would just shut down with an error code. It came highly recommended by the people at Good Guys, but the only recommendation I have is to steer clear of it. I don't remember the model number... maybe PACEX130CST. Basically I'd avoid Delonghi with WiFi. I'd probably check out one of the scratch and dent places. I wouldn't pay full retail again if I was going to get one.

Excellent. Good luck. I actually just decided to get a Delonghi but I’m very interested to hear your experience.

I basically just said f-it and bought the most expensive one at Curry’s - [EX130](https://www.currys.co.uk/products/delonghi-pinguino-ex130cst-13000-btu-smart-air-conditioner-and-dehumidifier-white-10238634.html?istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istFeedId=4d7eb93e-055f-499d-8ee5-1cdcc50d67d1&istItemId=rtxrwixqx&istBid=t) The AEG does indeed look great value.

Hi mate. To give it a chance you definitely need that window sealed as much as possible. I got a window seal kit off Amazon and watched some YouTube videos for installing it. Also, know that mine isn’t great. For context I have actual air conditioning in my room but it’s broken and I don’t want to pay to fix it as I’m moving. The Delonghi is not a patch on that. It’s is cooling the room but it isn’t great. One problem is the pipe itself gets hot.

Nö, is schmutz. Hatte die deutlich bessere delonghi pac ex130 und auf 2 Schlauch. Midea Portasplit ist um Längen besser.

I've done this as well, it made it a lot more effective. Still a bit noisy and expensive compared to a split system, but about to cool a large living room and kitchen to a comfortable temp instead of dying in the heat. Basically there's two heat exchange loops inside the unit. The first pulls heat out of the room air and pumps out the cold air. The second takes that heat and pumps it into other air, which should then be pumped outside to dump the heat outside of the room. The issue with a single vent setup like this is that the air that's dumped outside is taken from inside the house, and just be replaced by hot outside air leaking in through windows, doors, etc. I bought a second-hand 3.3kW De'Longhi Pinguino unit because it has distinctly separate intakes on the back (A8 on this diagram is the important one: [Diagram](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/DeLonghi-EM90-Fig.-A2-254x300.png) ). I duct taped a cardboard box around the intake A8, and then bought a length of 150mm aluminium ducting from Bunnings, as well as some vents and a bit of plywood. One end of the ducting was then taped into the cardboard box and the whole thing sealed off as best as I could manage. The normal exhaust duct window attachment and the new duct vent were then mounted into the plywood which was cut to the size of the window panel. Just make sure that the hot exhaust isn't flowing straight back into the intake duct. We only needed this in the large space, in our bedroom the unit with the single hose setup was freezing.

We shamelessly bought a portable one here in Switzerland, De'Longhi Pinguino, pretty good.

I 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.
