ChillFlex Pro AXP26

The ChillFlex Pro is a sturdy, capable 9,000 BTU single-hose unit that cools rooms up to 21m² and doubles as a decent dehumidifier. A-rated and comfortable to use, but the 64 dB(A) noise figure and now-dated design mean it trails the quieter, more efficient De'Longhi Silent models on value.

Pinguino PAC EX100 Silent

The EX100 Silent is De'Longhi's flagship portable, combining an outstanding A++ rating and 3.6 EER with a quiet 49 dB(A) minimum and RealFeel comfort control. Running costs are notably lower than most rivals, though you pay a steep upfront price and it is frequently out of stock.
