"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."
"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."
"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."
"On our second summer with it and it’s a godsend"

"Wer nur die Hälfte ausgeben kann, findet wie ich in der De Longhi Pinguino PAC EX 105 selbst mit nur einem Schlauch eine ähnlich effiziente Alternative (Effizienzklasse A+++ vs Midea A++). ... Also die offizielle Effizienzbewertung (A+++) und das technische Datenblatt (max 645 Watt für 10.000 BTU) sagen was anderes - da ist die 105er der 130er beim Stromverbrauch überproportional überlegen. Sogar der PortaSplit (Effizienzklasse A++)."

"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."

"Sólo sirven para estancias pequeñas o medianas, no para toda una vivienda."
"You also have to set it to a much cooler temperature that it’ll never get to."
"son menos eficientes que el AA instalado (en gran parte por el mecanismo cutre del tubo que sale al exterior no sella bien la estancia)"

Ich weiß, viele YouTuber und auch reale positive Erfahrungen sagen Midea PortaSplit. Wer nur die Hälfte ausgeben kann, findet wie ich in der De Longhi Pinguino PAC EX 105 selbst mit nur einem Schlauch eine ähnlich effiziente Alternative (Effizienzklasse A+++ vs Midea A++). 645 Watt maximale Stromaufnahne lassen sich sogar mit einem Balkonkraftwerk decken. Und das ist meine zweite Empfehlung: wenn die Sonne am meisten aufheizt… liefert sie auch zeitgleich den Strom zur Kühlung! Beides für mich in einer Maisonette Wohnung Upgrades, die ich mir als Mieter vor ein paar Jahren noch gar nicht vorstellen konnte.
r/Finanzen • Die beste Investition seit langem, ich habe mir eine mobile Klimaanlage gekauft. ->I just ordered this one [https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BZWP26GD?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BZWP26GD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) and it is supposed to be very good. You do have to put the hose to the window because of thermodynamics. The heat has to go somewhere. I picked up one of these to go with it. [https://www.amazon.de/dp/B087WT2XZF?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B087WT2XZF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) since that will seal the window. The more efficient the unit the more expensive it is.
r/germany • Are there actually any portable a.c units that don't suck? ->Une clim c’est quand même vachement respectueux l’environnement si tu la gardes longtemps. Ainsi que si tu prends en compte qu’on est un pays à énergie nucléaire en grande partie. Pour les clim portable, c’est bien, mais il faut prendre absolument ce qui correspond à ton usage (BTU) (EER) Vois déjà avec une portable ce que ça donne, et après tu peux toujours faire des devis chez des professionnels pour poser une fixe dans la maison. Et en terme de portable, j’ai pas trouvé mieux que celle-là https://www.delonghi.com/fr-fr/p/climatiseurs-mobiles-climatiseur-portable-pinguino-pacex105a/PACEX105A%252B%252B%252B.html?pid=0151454026
r/AskFrance • Les clims portables, ça marche vraiment, ou plutôt à éviter? ->Kann ich absolut, und in vollem Umfang bestätigen; bei mir rödelt seit ein paar Tagen eine De‘Longhi Penguino PAC EX105, die hat A+++, und ist ein echter Heilsbringer 🚨
r/Finanzen • Die beste Investition seit langem, ich habe mir eine mobile Klimaanlage gekauft. ->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.
