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 RHPAC11001 is a dependable mid-range cooler that pairs solid 11,000 BTU output with a genuinely useful dehumidify mode and a bundled window sealing kit. Heavy at 31kg and its 65 dB running noise and 2.62 EER are only average, so it is best for daytime living-room use rather than a quiet bedroom.
