Summary of the review

Olimpia Splendid 2026 Review: Really Quiet? The Test.

According to climatiseur-mobile-silencieux.com, Olimpia Splendid portable air conditioners are recognized for their "Silent System" technology, which reduces noise to approximately 49 dB in quiet mode on premium models while providing effective cooling (up to 6-7°C reduction in 30 m² rooms) and, on certain units, versatile heating capabilities and Wi-Fi functionality. However, the analysis notes that units can still reach 52 dB at full power, which may be disruptive in bedrooms, and the heat pump efficiency diminishes in freezing temperatures, with performance heavily reliant on proper window sealing.
