Olimpia Splendid - PIU 12 (Code: 01064)

The Delonghi models around that price point all do the job very well—they are selling a model that cools, heats, and dehumidifies at Costco.  Good portable ACs are very loud and take up a massive amount of space, think about where you’ll store it in the off season. Not just the machine itself but also the pipes, and window fixtures. They also suck down the power but over a summer usage in Australia with expensive power using it as much as I wanted, it was still cheaper than my winter heating bill.  I had a $1200 AUD Delonghi model and an Olympia, and the Delonghi was vastly more powerful—did a decent job in a massive 800 square foot room in Australian summer, and another one in the bedroom got things positively frosty. VERY noisy though. 

Hola, yo tengo uno grande de la marca olimpia splendid, lo compre en el corte ingles por si quieres verlos fisicamente, hace un ruido de la leche pero con 43 grados en madrid prefiero el ruido a morirme de calor yo lo uso para 60 m2 y funciona genial lo unico lo que te comentaban del tubo.

I bought an olimpia splendid and its about to start its 5th summer. Think it was about 430 quid, and I needed to buy some window sticky fabric seals for another 20 or so. It cools the office room down during the day so I can work from home. It can make a 24 degree room 21 degrees, or a 30 degree room probably down to 23 degrees. It's very loud and vibratey, and it will either achieve its goal and turn down to a low hum until the temp goes up, or take a break now and then so it doesn't burn out, or something. At the absolute peaks of summer, I'll move it into the bedroom at night. That will only be for 2 or 3 nights in a year, because sleeping is very hard with it in the same room. You trade lack of sleep because it's too warm, to lack of sleep because it's too loud. You'd need to sleep with earphones in. It will cool the room, go quiet, then activate again, waking you up like a jump scare. Is it worth the money? Definitely. Its made working at home for 400 or so hot days tollerable. I don't think it made much of a dent to the electricity bill either.
