Great machine- looks good and works well.
However we are limited to only one place where it can work efficiently as the extension hose does not stretch that far.
Contacted DeLonghi customer services and they don’t sell any extra parts which would help.
Might have to look at a different option for extension , but not sure it would work as well.
A little disappointing but still glad I purchased the product as the cool air has been so nice on these hot days!
Remote and app are a good way to operate this.
cooling capacity is massively over exaggerated unless mine is faulty.
The oxford dictionary may have the definition of silent massively wrong as well.
It is possibly quieter than my last 400 quid chinesium cooler but silent is not a word to be used.
Quiet when on fan only mode, yes, but you dont buy this to be on fan only mode.
not a bad unit for around 500 quid, but it isnt!!
Brilliant – hardly has any water creation.
Last one i had – had a water tank.
Ran this for weeks – hardly any water collected – must recycle it somehow ?
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
Nice liking PAC unit, does the job well and a lot quieter than a 400 cheap job.
Remote is well made but a little hit and miss but works if you turn the unit on using it and ensure you point it directly at the unit and for maybe half a serving per press.
Looks good, adversities pretty good. Recommend a fabric window sock thingy to get the most efficiency out of the unit.
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.
Does a great job of cooling my living room, and does creep into the hall if you keep the door open, can be noisy but I am aware that this is one of the more quieter models on the market, so I would hate to think what a noiser model would sound like! One thing I will say that especially in the UK the majority of new homes have windows that open outwards, and would have been nice to receive an adequate seal for this type of window and to not have to purchase it separately, that being said I’m sure this product is aimed at the worldwide market and not just the uk, so I suppose it’s understandable. In terms maintenance no issues so far apart from just general stuff like emptying the water and cleaning the filters and if you need to lift it I recommend that someone helps you if your not good with lifting. Overall pleased with my purchase.
This is very efficient in maintaining our “cold room” (12ft by 30ft lounge) on warm days. It’s quite noisy getting the room down to temperature but if you keep the doors shut you can switch to silent mode.
Very long lead time and an extremely rude delivery driver, but a great product.
Very pleased with this air con. I need another unit for my bedroom and although it isn’t silent it’s very quiet and you can easily sleep through. If your looking for a lounge area and not bothered by noise I’d get a lower cost model, but for an noise sensitive area like sleeping time, and this is brilliant.
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.
My first Air Con Experience. Speedy efficient delivery. Clear instruction and bonus for window accessory.
So far it works well.Room gets cool in minutes and let’s hope it will stay like this. It is a little louder than I expected but as I said it is my first experience.
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
Bought this in the height of the heat wave and I just gave up on sleeping in the uncomfortable heat. This air con unit is great and works well. Cools the room down fast. Its not silent (its an air-conditioning unit) but quiet enough not to live with. I did a lot of research before buying this unit and its delivered.
Cools down my room from 31c to 19 during the day, best sleep ever and will always have aircon. Has a timer which is suitable for night time during sleeping. The device is loud so search up the equivalent item of decibels it states in the description.
Definitely the most stylish portable AC unit out there. Quite lightweight considering. Cools down my bedroom really well. But it is loud especially on the strongest setting. Not very silent as the manufacturer claims
The reason I have given them 5 stars is because they are very efficient at cooling the house in a reasonably short amount of time. We had a hot spell a couple of weeks ago with the outside temperature at 35 degrees and our rooms were lovely and cool.
I don’t believe there is such a thing as a silent portable air condition and these are probably as good as you’ll get for your money.
This works well, but do not expect a quiet machine. It does make quite a lot of noise. We can sleep with it running, but ‘silent’ it is not. Does a great job of cooling a loft bedroom, don’t forget you need to vent to the outside, we do through a window and a DIY fitting to accommodate the pipe. Overall very happy with the performance.
Is a great item, working, not to noise is ok but not highly effective however, do work after several time and compare to others is more energy efficient. Remember all free-standing AC units – if you can’t fit properly went will not work well because unit cooling and the vent is a heating!?
My new build apartment is so hot in the summer I’ve suffered for years when the hot weather arrives. I’ve thought long and hard about getting a portable air conditioner and also a split outside system but due to the nature of the building the latter wouldn’t be possible. My windows were the main concern they are tilt and turn windows. I can’t really open them fully because of the cats and being on the third floor so the tilt inwards was the option that works and I thought I wouldn’t be able to get it to work how I wanted it to. I got a window seal
Kit by Hoomee available on amazon. And took the chance with the Delonghi I’m over the moon honest it’s changed my life I have health problems and the heat is not good for me. It had some great features and it works it really does. Lovely and cool and gets a room very cool in litrerally 30 mins sometimes 15mins depending on humidity. The air conditioning has real feel technology that works by checking humidity and temperature to create a better environment over time. Yes it’s exoensive but you pay for you get. It’s of solid build easy to set up and comes with a remote control and also has timer functions. It’s heavy but the wheels for moving around are very very good. So it won’t be a problem for someone moving it around. Even on carpet I can imagine but it would be slower process as I have wooden flooring. If you are thinking of buying this you won’t be disappointed I’m over the moon it’s changed my life. I might get one for the lounge area next year. Hope my review helps.
Portability was the main purchasing reason, with the plan being to lower the temperature of several bedrooms (either individually, or by leaving the unit in a central corridor, with all bedroom doors open). It works for individual rooms, but the practicality of creating a set-up with a long extension hose for the outlet vent may put people off.
The outlet hose (taking hot air away) has a diameter of 130mm, so the only solution if your machine location is some distance away is to join multiple extension hoses together. Usually the extensions you can buy are either fragile (paper-like, cheap, designed for tumble dryers) or short industrial (metal or heavy duty plastic, inflexible, expensive). It is feasible to join the cheaper ones together, although you may end up with an adapter (to get the fit right) and duct tape to join, and you will have the inconvenience of meters of hoses trailing from the corridor to the outlet location.
You then have the problem with the window/ door to hang the outlet hose from. Good news is that the machine comes with a window kit perfect for sash windows, not so good for tilting or side opening windows/ doors. For those, you will need to buy an after market kit to work.
Noise level? Family comment that the machine is noisy, and while it is quieter than rival machines, don’t expect a miracle! (It is about the noise level of background conversation). “Real feel” is a nice feature, that addresses humidity as well as temperature.
Overall I recommend. Although for the reasons I mention above, plus the weight of the machine (30kg), transporting upstairs/ downstairs could be difficult.
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.
The minimum temperature that you can set it too is 18 degrees centigrade rather than the more common 16 degrees. I haven’t found this to be a problem, it’s easily cold enough for me and I particularly dislike heat. It seems just as cold as any of the other aircons that I’ve owned.
Update: After using it for the summer I am pleased that I spent the extra on it. Not having to empty a water resevour is a suprising useful feature. The casters work well, I move it into the louge to keep my elderly mother cool in the afternoons and back in to the bedroom at night. I’d buy another one, updated to 5 stars.
I suffer with allergies in the summer and this provides blissful relief and a comfortable nights sleep.
The dehumidify setting is great. It will dry your washing and/or remove humid air from a room even on a cool day.
If I have one gripe, it is that the connector for the hose at the back comes out at an angle and is more bulky than it needs to be.
