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.

MeacoCool MC10000CH

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.
