eveningwithcatsWir haben 2 unterschiedliche: Delonghi PAC N81 und N82 eco. Die 81 ist etwas leiser.
mrp9619Had the Delonghi Penguino a few years ago 2.4kw one a few years back and worked well for a bedroom. It was slightly over your budget but worth looking on marketplace for a second hand one
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.
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!
