What we like about Olimpia Splendid 01914 Dolceclima Compact 9 P

  • Cools down rooms quickly, often within a few minutes
  • Compact and lightweight footprint compared to other portable units
  • Highly portable and easy to move around thanks to 360-degree swivel wheels
  • Includes a convenient multifunction remote control and clear touch display
  • Multipurpose functionality including effective dehumidification and fan modes
  • Comes with an easy-to-use window installation kit
  • Good value for money

What we don't like about Olimpia Splendid 01914 Dolceclima Compact 9 P

  • Relatively loud and noisy during operation, reaching up to 63 dB
  • The air exhaust hose releases significant heat if not placed close to a window
  • Mixed feedback regarding long-term reliability and unit longevity
  • Exhaust hose attachments can feel flimsy or easily detached when moving the unit

Verdict

The Olimpia Splendid 01914 Dolceclima Compact 9 P is a space-saving portable air conditioner with a cooling capacity of 9,000 BTU/h (2.34 kW) and an Class A energy efficiency rating (EER 2.6). It stands out for its ultra-compact design, measuring just 70.3 cm high by 34.5 cm wide, and utilizes eco-friendly R290 refrigerant alongside a maximum dehumidification capacity of 2.14 liters per hour. Main advantages include an automatic condensate disposal system that eliminates the need for an internal water tank, seamless portability via 360-degree rotating castors and side handles, and versatile operational settings such as sleep, turbo, and a 12-hour timer managed via an LCD touch display or remote control. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively loud maximum sound power level of 62 dB(A), an included window kit that may require separate adapters for certain window types, and a weight of 25.5 kg which can make lifting it across different floors challenging.
