Cool, man!
I needed this to have a cool head in a cool office. I bought it because it has a "Best Buy" rating in UK consumer magazine "Which?" It works very well at the cooling/dehumidifying business. It would be nice if it were quieter, but I do realise that this is essentially impossible for a mobile unit - only a permanent split aircon with the works outside would deliver that. In an office environment, it is fine (much the same noise level as a fan), but I wouldn't recommend trying to sleep with with one in the same room.
Pro
- Works well
Contra
- Silent it isn't

Does the job.
A fairly sturdy build, water drain very low, one needs a frying tray to drain the water into. With around 28 Celsius outside it can cool down a few degrees if the room is not exposed to direct sunlight. Also very important to find another window or ventilation shaft from where replacement air can flow in from. Otherwise the same heated air is flowing back in small gaps even with window kit and then it is helpless.
I don't regret buying it but it will never live up to a proper wall mounted split system.Pro
- Given well shaded windows, it can cool the room a few degrees.
Contra
- Loud.
- I don't think it could handle above 30 Celsius outside temperatures.
- No wifi.
Compact, efficient, a little noisy
Pro
- Effective
- Easy to install
Contra
- A little noisy
Top mobile air conditioner
Very simple commissioning. Only the air discharge hose needs to be attached and the unit can be used. The design and the cooling capacity are good. The machine is not quiet but not too loud either. I use it in the office. You don't need to drain the water either. The machine does it all by itself. Top appliance. Highly recommended.
Pro
- Simple installation
- user-friendly
- good design
- cools very well
Contra
- nothing

Efficient but heavy!
After another model was cancelled with a delivery time of over 11 days, the above model arrived in no time! Super. Unpacking: Easy! Transport via stairs to the first floor: not recommended for older people. Fortunately, as a globetrotter, I have a multifunction plug (remember: German mains plugs do not fit into Swiss sockets). With foresight, I ordered a new window with a hose outlet (will arrive in approx. 7 days). Costs: Approx. 2 x costs for the device ... but what can you do for the environment!
Pro
- Rapid commissioning
- Complete delivery
- Works efficiently, quick cooling
Contra
- Why does Switzerland supply a model with a mains connection for Germany? A mystery!!!
- Not particularly environmentally friendly without hose outlet adapted in the window environment
- Transport via stairs only for backs that are already defective (weight)

Quieter than others
The unit is relatively quiet. However, it is still too loud for sleeping. Almost all the others are even louder...
Good appliance and energy-efficient in a class comparison.Pro
- Quieter
Contra
- Still loud due to design

A little bit of freshness
Easy to use. The air conditioner is a bit noisy but that's the price to pay. Difficult for me to compare because it is my first experience in a private capacity. It's a pity that you can't remove the information lights during the night. I am a light sleeper
Pro
- Easy
- rather stylish
Contra
- a little bit of noise
- light point

Probably the best mobile air conditioner on the market at the moment.
One star deduction for the length of the exhaust hose and for the fact that air conditioners per se are not a room beautification. Otherwise, I am very satisfied. In whisper mode, I can still watch TV in my 1-room studio apartment with 45 square meters without having to set the sound to full volume.
The cooling performance is satisfactory, but the device does not manage to cool this large room down to the desired 18 ° C . In the summer of 2020, the last drought - year (this summer we are yes flooded here) has done me the DeLonghi really good services, so that I would recommend it without hesitation.Pro
- Operation by remote control
- Volume in operation
- Functionality
Contra
- Weight
- Design
- Length of the exhaust hose

Enough for the specified room size loosely
System runs great, the silent mode is also very practical but whether I could sleep I may doubt. However, I would never sleep with active air conditioning.
Pro
- Good workmanship
- Good cooling performance
- Silent Mode
- Very good efficiency
- Dust filter easy to clean
Contra
- Airflow not swiveling
