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.

The 4-in-1 is Pro Breeze's flagship, and the heat mode makes it genuinely useful outside summer, which few rivals at this size offer. Class A efficiency and a quiet 54 dB rating are strong for 12,000 BTU, but the RRP is high and stock is erratic during heatwaves.
