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 PACEX120 Silent

  • Highly efficient and cools large open-plan spaces, living rooms, and kitchens quickly
  • Features a 3-in-1 design that functions as an air conditioner, fan, and dehumidifier
  • Includes convenient castors and handles for easy mobility between rooms
  • Quieter operation compared to many older or alternative portable AC models

What we don't like about De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX120 Silent

  • Can still be noisy or vibrate when the compressor is running heavily
  • Somewhat bulky and takes up a fair amount of physical space
  • The exhaust/flexible pipe can be too short for certain window setups, requiring users to find workarounds
  • Lacks a direct native interface for smart home systems, requiring smart plugs for Alexa/Google Home integration
  • Heavy to move up and down stairs despite having wheels

Verdict

The De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX120 Silent is a powerful Class A energy-rated monoblock portable air conditioner featuring an 11,500 BTU/h (3.0 kW) cooling capacity, suitable for rooms up to 110 cubic meters. It utilizes eco-friendly R290 propane gas and integrates a 3-speed fan with a maximum airflow of 350 m³/h, alongside a robust dehumidifying mode capable of removing up to 32 liters of moisture per day. Its primary advantages include an exclusive Condensate Recirculation System for bucketless operation, a built-in Bio Silver air filtration system, an innovative LED control panel with a 24-hour timer, and proprietary Eco Real Feel technology that automatically optimizes temperature and humidity. However, despite its specialized Silent Technology operating between 49 and 53 dB(A), it may still be too loud for light sleepers in very quiet environments, and its premium pricing sits higher than the market average for similar portable units.
