Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Olimpia Splendid 01918 Dolceclima Air Pro

  • Powerful 14,000 BTU cooling capability that quickly lowers room temperatures even during intense heatwaves.
  • Versatile 4-in-1 functionality operating efficiently as a cooler, heater, dehumidifier, and multi-speed fan.
  • Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity and OS Comfort app support allowing convenient remote management from smartphones.
  • Motorized air guide flap with auto-swing function that helps distribute airflow evenly throughout the space.
  • Eco-friendly operation utilizing R290 natural refrigerant gas to lower global warming impact.
  • Sleek and contemporary aesthetic featuring clean Italian minimalist design lines.

What we don't like about Olimpia Splendid 01918 Dolceclima Air Pro

  • High operational noise output reaching up to 64-65 dB, making conversation or sleeping nearby difficult.
  • Substantial physical weight and bulkiness, making it difficult to carry up stairs despite having transport wheels.
  • Internal water reservoir requires frequent manual emptying when running in heating or heavy dehumidification modes.
  • Fragile or rigid air hose attachments that easily detach from the unit if it is shifted even slightly.
  • Premium price tag making it significantly more expensive than entry-level alternative portable units.

Verdict

The Olimpia Splendid 01918 Dolceclima Air Pro 14 HP is a versatile, all-season portable air conditioner featuring a powerful 14,000 BTU/h (3.52 kW) cooling capacity and an integrated 2.9 kW heat pump for efficient heating during intermediate seasons. Operating with eco-friendly R290 natural refrigerant gas, this unit delivers a high moisture-removal rate of 3.3 liters per hour and a strong air flow of 420 m³/h, utilizing an A-class energy efficiency rating for cooling (EER 2.6) and A+ for heating (COP 2.8). Key advantages include its dual heating and cooling modes, an auto-swing motorized top flap for targeted airflow, and a Pure System multi-stage filtration setup featuring electrostatic dust and activated carbon odor filters. However, it is relatively heavy at around 32 kg, draws a substantial 1,300 to 1,600 watts of power requiring robust electrical outlets, and produces a noticeable maximum sound power level of 64 dB(A), making it quite loud for light sleepers.
