Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EX105

  • Excellent cooling performance with 10,000 BTU/h capacity for medium-sized spaces
  • Highly energy-efficient operation carrying an outstanding A+++ energy rating
  • EcoRealFeel technology effectively balances room temperature and humidity levels
  • Multi-functional use as a powerful dehumidifier and three-speed ventilation fan
  • Built-in dust and pollen filter helps improve indoor air quality
  • Sleek and aesthetically pleasing modern physical design
  • Equipped with built-in handles and castor wheels for easier room-to-room mobility

What we don't like about De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EX105

  • Noticeable compressor hum that can feel quite loud during quiet nighttime use
  • Relatively heavy unit weighing around 35 kg making it difficult to carry up stairs
  • The included hot air exhaust hose is somewhat short at roughly 1.2 meters
  • Lacks smart home connectivity, a dedicated mobile app, or voice assistant support
  • The included remote control lacks a built-in display screen
  • No flexible window sealing kit included for standard European window styles
  • High initial purchase price compared to non-branded portable units

Verdict

The De'Longhi Pinguino PAC EX105 is a high-end mobile monoblock air conditioner featuring a 10,000 BTU/h (2.5 kW) cooling capacity, tailored for rooms up to 100 m³ (approximately 40 m²). This 3-in-1 unit integrates cooling, ventilation (with 3 fan speeds and up to 350 m³/h airflow), and a powerful dehumidifier capable of extracting up to 56 litres of moisture per 24 hours. Its standout characteristics include an ultra-efficient A+++ energy rating powered by eco-friendly R290 refrigerant gas, a low 610 W power consumption, a 4.1 Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), a 24-hour timer, and adaptive Eco Real Feel technology that automatically optimizes temperature and humidity. Key pros highlight its exceptional energy savings, quick and effective cooling performance, and integrated Silent Technology that drops operating sound pressure levels down to 45–48 dB(A). However, notable cons include its significant 35 kg weight that limits multi-floor portability, a maximum sound power level of 63 dB which can still feel noisy to light sleepers, and a bulky physical footprint.
