De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EX100 Silent Review

The De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX100 Silent Air Conditioner is a multi-purpose appliance which is not only an air conditioning unit, but also a dehumidifier and a fan. It's ideal for rooms up to 110 cubic metres in size, and can be used in all seasons, i.e. as an air conditioner in the summer and a dehumidifier in the winter. It has a high cooling power of 10000BTU and an impressive water extraction rate of up to 32 litres per day.

The Pinguino PACEX100 has a number of useful, convenient and practical features. We particularly like the eco-friendly R290 refrigerant which doesn't damage the ozone layer unlike freon based air conditioners. In terms of noise, the unit operates quietly between 47dB and 53dB, allowing you to sleep/work without too much difficulty. The unit is very portable thanks to its lightweight/compact design and four castor wheels.
