Pinguino Deluxe Portable Air Conditioner

Pinguino crew big up!

Mine 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.

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!

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.

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.

Me too, after our DeLonghi costing twice the price failed after 3 summers. Nothing beats a proper installed split system.

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.

300 sq ft. Delonghi Pinguino. Noise is acceptable to me even for sleeping, but it’s not silent.
