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.

The MC10000CH is the most capable of Meaco's standard MC range and has earned strong reviews for serious cooling at a sensible price. It clears larger living rooms up to 28m², adds genuine winter heating, and ships with both rigid and flexible window kits. Bulky and single-hose, but the performance-per-pound is hard to fault.
