Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EL92 Silent

  • Cools spaces quickly and efficiently
  • Noticeably quieter than many competing portable units, especially when using the dedicated 'Silent Mode'
  • Highly versatile with multiple modes including air conditioning, fan, and an effective dehumidifier function
  • Energy efficient with an A+ energy class rating
  • User-friendly operation via a clear LED display and an included remote control
  • Easy to maneuver around a room thanks to built-in handles and smooth-rolling castors

What we don't like about De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EL92 Silent

  • Despite marketing claims, it is still too loud for some users to sleep comfortably nearby when the compressor is running
  • The unit is heavy and bulky (around 30-32 kg), making it difficult to carry up and down stairs
  • The included window bracket and seal kit can be tricky to adjust and may not perfectly fit all window styles without extra modification

Verdict

The De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EL92 Silent is an A+ energy efficiency rated portable air conditioner utilizing eco-friendly R290 propane gas, designed to cool rooms up to 85 cubic meters (approximately 28 square meters) with a 10,000 BTU/h cooling capacity and 780W power consumption. Main characteristics and pros include its multi-functional 3-in-1 capability (cooling, fan-only mode with 3 speeds, and a dehumidifier removing up to 32 liters per 24 hours), an integrated 24-hour electronic timer, an LED soft-touch control panel, and specialized Silent Technology that lowers noise pressure levels to 47-50 dB(A) via soundproofed walls and a dual-speed condensing fan. However, notable cons include its hefty weight of 32 kg making manual lifting difficult across floors, its maximum sound power level reaching 62-64 dB(A) which some users still find too loud for light sleeping, and its dependency on a bulky window exhaust kit that restricts room placement.
