I was pleased with this machine, the remote was easy to use, quite noisy when used too Lower room temperature, but I expected that, as I have open plan living room, kitchen diner, so needed a powerful machine to cover a big area, which it did perfectly, after 2 weeks of bliss, then I noticed water leaking from nderneath the machine, i had already emptied the tank via the plug as recommended, so i knew it wasn’t that, after reading reviews about this particular machine (which I hadn’t bothered to do before hand) and apparently it seemed like other people had experienced the same thing. I did consider buying a drop tray to stand the machine on to collect any water, but decided the machine is far to heavy for me to lift on and off to empty the drip tray. I decided to return the machine back to the seller and look for another machine without any complications.

Unit is absolutely amazing for cooling my bedroom on these hot weeks. There is obviously some noise from the compressor but no more than expected really, it doesn’t stop me sleeping and it’s better than being ho

I’ve had this for a couple of months and it was an absolute lifesaver for the two days of proper summer we had. It cools the room really quickly, our medium sized living room cools down by about 0.5C in about 5 minutes. It seems pretty energy efficient but I’ll update that when we get our next electricity bill. A few things which might be an issue for some people…1. The noise. I love white noise so for me it’s perfect but you would likely have to turn up the tv when this is on. Even on silent mode. My babies find the noise soothing and sleep through it but my husband said it took a bit of getting used to.
2. If you have small children you’ll want to insure this as they seem to like putting objects into the rather large vent spaces. It’s not the air conditioners fault that my children feel like throwing things in, but I’ve seen other models with better child proofing eg smaller holes. My iPhone has been thrown in quite easily. It is possible to open the unit up to remove the objects.
3. It’s a bit bulky but it’s well designed and I think aesthetically pleasing 4. As with all portable ACs you need to install it and ideally seal off the window otherwise it would be inefficient. We got a mesh from Amazon which does a good enough job. 5. It can potentially be moved from room to room on the same floor as it has wheels but it’s very heavy so moving between floors would be tricky. All in all it’s a great device, even for the crazy price and I don’t know how we lived through previous summers without air conditioning.

The Air Con came yesterday in perfect condition on a sack truck, which was very pleasing to see rather than it being carried in a physical way, which would prove to be very difficult considering just how heavy this unit is.

My greatest love is the “Real Feel Technology” which must be a new idea on this brand? it works by the CPU analysing the “temperature and humidity” within the room, then “automatically” maintains a perfect environment to be in.

The Real Feel Technology saves money on the running cost due to it “only” switching on automatically at short intervals when needed. There are three lights on the top of the unit which singly go off and on thus indicating to the user the correct or incorrect environment within the roomspace, it’s amazing, it does all the thinking for you.

The dB noise level is very pleasing for an Air Con because even the most expensive indoor Air Cons will still produce high levels of noise, that’s just how they are. This unit however to my surprise is much quieter than any Air Cons I’ve ever owned before, it’s “not” silent, not by any means, but, it’s not overly noisy which should defo please the user.

It really does cool the room down very quickly without taking centre stage in the noise department, one won’t even know it’s there if using the “Real Feel Technology” mode.

I don’t know how things will fare functioning wise from this unit as time goes by, because it’s simply too soon to make such a judgment. If it keeps on working in this manner, I can highly recommend this unit with great confidence to anyone.

A very pleasing unit that carries a hefty price for staying cool, hot sweaty days are not something many people enjoy enduring.

This worked very well at keeping our room cool during the hot summer weather. Without using it at full power, the room was being cooled very rapidly.
It does make a bit of noise so we switched to the fan function at night which worked well.

The unit is relatively heavy so you don’t really want to move it around too much on carpet, although the wheels help a bit with that.

I have not used the Real Feel Technology much, we prefer using the simple Air con function.

Very happy with the purchase

This is a significant improvement on previous portable air conditioners that I have owned. No its NOT silent, but rather quieter than previous portable air conditioners that I have owned, so that is a real improvement.

My flat is boiling. This cools it down. It is not noisy at all, it works quickly. I use it with a fabric velcro window mount and it does the trick (temperatures up to 37C, cant comment on any higher than that).

Purchased this Delonghi after much deliberation and I’m so glad I did!!! Arrived today at 7:20am and was easy to unpack and set up. It is heavy but rolls along great on the castors. The little spaces they call handle grips aren’t deep enough to really help, too shallow. However I’m very pleased indeed with how it looks. I’ve turned it on and at its lowest setting of 18degrees you can feel the coldness. Noise level was really the most important factor for me and I’m a realist…no portable aircon unit is ever going to be silent despite advertising as such. However this unit is by far the quietest I’ve experienced. Other cheaper models just sound like tractors. This Delonghi isn’t completely silent but even at the highest setting I’m still able to watch TV with the unit about 4ft away from me and I’m not that bothered by the noise. If you switch to the lowest level silent mode there is a relatively noticeable difference but again not silent. Its an aircon unit and if it’s cooling down your property in my opinion it’s an acceptable trade off. Only regret I didn’t buy it last year!!
P.s for those that need to sleep in a totally silent room then I’d suggest to wear ear plugs. I do if I’m sleeping in the same room as the unit and I personally sleep fine, again it’s a trade off against sleeping in on awful hot room. I also put the unit on a programme that only turns the unit on if the temperature rises above what I’d like it to be. Very useful.

Great portable Air conditioning unit and very effective; we was suffering from the rare flash unbareable summer high temperatures we get in the UK having had the British Gas Electrician remove our ceiling fans in the livingroom and bedroom after upgrading our fuse box and demanding nothing metal on the lighting so we needed another way of cooling a hot house and our sleepless nights. The De’Longhi PAC AN112 is exactly the right size and ability to deal with our requirements, we have a 20 Square metre livingroom and it dropped the temperature from 25 deg C down to a nice cool 18 deg C in about 20 minutes and even cooled the adjcent computer office room 2 degs C lower too. Advice to potential buyers, always buy an extension vent hose because the standard semi rigid hose supplied is not long enough to take the hot air outside the window. I purchased a flexible 6 metre 127mm vent hose at the same time I order this machine and it works great, slightly to long but it took the heat outside of the house. The air con has two modes, normal and silent, on silent you do have to turn the TV volume up slightly but it works. all the usual controls and does exact what it says in the video and advertisements. The remote control helps too, saves on you having to get up to change the temperature settings and even activate the silent mode if you wish. Wish I had bought this several years ago, a great purchase.

This is a high-quality product that exceeds my expectations! I have tried other brands of portable AC units, but they were far noisier, particularly when the refrigeration unit kicked in, and the cheap castors marked my wooden floor. Not so the De’ Longhi PAC AN112: it is efficient [took just 20 min to reduce temperature in a 50cubic metre/29 square metre room from 27 deg C to 22 deg C. I barely noticed when the refrigeration unit kicked in: very little noise change and the machine did not shake like many do. Using the machine in my bedroom, even though a quiet machine, I would probably find that it disturbed my sleep, but that is because the bed is near the window, which is where the machine also has to be. But, as the unit cools the bedroom down so efficiently, it’s ideal for cold soaking the room before bedtime. The build quality is excellent; the design is attractive; and the castors don’t mark my wooden floors! Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Great air con, can be used efficiently even if you want to watch tv or sleep or take a phone call. It cools the room fast and is surprisingly effective for a monoblock air con. (Note that I waited with this review until the weather was really hit, 32 Celsius outside and I have concrete walls and South facing room, so the unit is well tested). Pipe is never long enough with these units and I had to extend it to reach the window, but I won’t downrate it for this because I have 3 different monoblock aircons in my house to cover multiple rooms, and all of them needed the pipe extended, this is pretty standard thing if you want to use the top window. However, even with the extended pipe, this unit cools very efficiently and even though it’s expensive compared to many other brands/models, you get what you pay for, it’s definitely a top end unit.
