About this deal
De’Longhi’s Pinguino models always feature on best portable air conditioner (PAC) lists, so I got my hands on the De’Longhi Pinguino PAC AN112 Silent from AO. which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 311908) for consumer credit and general insurance and a member of the Finance and Leasing Association. So, although I was testing the machine during May, our 48-square-metre living area was already feeling too hot for comfort. General disclaimer: All third party trademarks, images and copyrights on this page are used for the purpose of comparative advertising, criticism or review. Instead, a portable design that easily wheels in and out is perfect - and you can keep it hidden from view when it’s not in use.
So I decide to see how it performs in a larger space by opening the door to the open-plan living/dining/kitchen area (a total of 130m 3, exceeding the machine’s capacity). Occasionally, it went into anti-freeze mode to stop frost from building up in the machine – this meant the AC would temporarily switch off while the fan remained on, so while I could sleep through silent mode no problem, this slight change of noise disturbed my sleep once or twice. And, while we’re all geared up for the cooler months with cosy blankets, fluffy duvets and warm dressing gowns, we’re certainly not ready for the increasingly high temperatures in summer - which is where an nifty portable air conditioning unit comes in. With such a high power output, the PAC EX112 CST will quickly transform your hot, humid room into a relaxing oasis. Resist the temptation to set the thermostat far below the outside temperature - instead aim for optimal comfort, not freezing rooms.
Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. We recommend that the PAC EX112 CST is used in large domestic environments, light offices or commercial spaces, and care homes or hospitals - where a very quiet unit and optimal air quality is desirable. Move your air conditioner to the room of your choice with ease thanks to the integrated handles and castor wheels for easy portability.
Watch this short unboxing video showing how to get your De’Longhi Pinguino portable air conditioner set up correctly, ensuring quick and efficient cooling in your home. Trust me when I say I’m thrilled (and relieved) to report that it really does, because I wasn’t without doubts. For your convenience, the unit has been designed to be set up in only a few minutes, all parts are included and no additional tools are required.The Cool Surround Technology (CST) monitors the temperature and humidity, and kicks in when it starts getting warmer.
Model numbers usually consist of a manner of letters and numbers, and may also include characters such as a slash (/) or a dash (-). The soft touch control panel helps you to easily manage all functions of the air conditioner, including temperature, the three fan speeds, timer and cooling function.
At 30kg, heaving it up the stairs is a two-person job, and you won’t be moving it between floors once it’s set up – although it has wheels so it’s easy to roll around if you want to move it between rooms. Summer’s always the season we look forward to the most - when the sun starts to shine and we have much less to moan about.
