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 PACEX100 Silent

  • High energy efficiency with an A++ rating, making it relatively inexpensive to run
  • Powerful cooling and dehumidifying performance for rooms up to 36 m²
  • Sleek, well-built, and modern design
  • Easy to set up and operate with simple controls and a convenient remote
  • Features 'Real Feel' technology, which balances temperature and humidity for optimal comfort

What we don't like about De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX100 Silent

  • Mixed feedback regarding noise levels; while some find it quiet, others note it can be loud, especially on higher settings
  • No option to turn off or dim the bright LED display screen, which can be bothersome in dark bedrooms
  • Mixed reviews on cooling capacity, with some users reporting it struggles to reach targeted low temperatures in very hot spaces
  • Premium price point, leading some users to feel it does not offer good value for money
  • Lacks a direct smart home interface for seamless app or voice integration

Verdict

The De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX100 Silent is a 3-in-1 portable air conditioner, dehumidifier, and fan featuring a 10,000 BTU (2.5 kW) cooling capacity that efficiently handles room volumes up to 110 m³. Key technical highlights include an outstanding A++ energy efficiency rating, an eco-friendly R290 refrigerant gas, a 700 W power consumption, a 32L/24h dehumidifying quotient, and a maximum airflow of 350 m³/h managed via a digital LED control panel with Real Feel technology. The primary pros are its highly efficient operation, low running costs, specialized Silent Technology keeping noise between 49–53 dB(A) sound pressure, and a motorized swing flap for even air distribution. Main cons include a high retail price, lack of Wi-Fi or smart-home connectivity, a bulky 30 kg weight, and an LED front display screen that cannot be turned off during night mode.
