Pinguino PAC EL98 ECO Silent

The EL98 pairs a strong 10,700 BTU output with De'Longhi's RealFeel humidity control and a low 47 dB(A) silent mode, making it one of the quieter high-output single-hose units you can buy. Bulky at 33kg and priced at a premium, but for open-plan spaces up to around 40m² it delivers reliable, well-controlled cooling.

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.
