## Description

From the manufacturer Gentle Surround or Focused Mode Cool, dehumidify & ventilate Quiet mode: up to 50% quieter

Review: Very effective at cooling - This has been a Godsend during the really hot weather, it produces a LOT of cold air. We have moved it around and it works well everywhere..... except a bedroom. My only complaint would be that the quiet mode isn't quiet at all. There is very little difference between this and the normal low setting. My wish list would be two things. A night time mode that produces a LOT less noise and obviously less cooling output, (I could live with that.) Secondly, I would like to be able to angle the airflow from the unit. The output fins are fixed and point almost straight upwards. I can't think why they have done this, but there must be a reason I suppose? The best way we find to use it is to have it running in the kitchen or hallway and leave the door half open. It produces so much cold air that you can feel it coming into the living room after a few minutes. The output hose is a great idea, it can be pushed down to about half a metre when you want to store it, then it simply springs open to whatever length you need by pulling it apart. There is also a drain hose included, but you don't need it when it is running, it is included to make sure that it is totally empty for storage at the end of the hot season. The unit looks nice and it has a modern feel to it, it doesn't look out of place in the house unlike some other makes. I would definitely recommend it, the cooling is fantastic, it's just a pity it wasn't a bit quieter.
Review: Strong Cooling, Simple to use - Bought this to survive the ever lasting intense heat wave of the UK. Let's start with size. The unit is slightly smaller than I expected for a 9800BTU unit, especially as I have an 18.3m2 space to cool. This was to be fitted directly between 2 desks and fitted perfectly for what we needed. I did, however, need to make some adjustments after a few weeks of use. The first is the hose, initially I bought an extension kit allowing me to reach the window situated in my images, however, it was standard what plastic duct hose, and after some research I found the hose to be bleeding a lot of the heat as it became high temperature fairly quickly. To resolve this, I bought a HVAC 5" Duct typically used in cooker extractors. As this was aluminium lined, it was able to trap more heat within the pipe, finally I sealed this within the main tubing (That fit to the aircon) by removing the letter box attachment (not easy) and sealing the HVAC tubing into the main using foam sealing. See the link for the one I purchased: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/dp/B08GSVM9HZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 This sealed the tube and allowed for better heat exhaust. Also Have the Window dressing to allow for the tube to exhast without letting additonal hot air back in, please see the following I used: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/dp/B087WT2XZF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Finally, there is noise, it's similar to that of a slightly stronger fridge, something that I could barely hear in any other room of the house. There is a quiet mode, but as many suggested, it's not brilliant, however, this was not intended for the bedroom. The unit is very easy to set up, using a wooden support, I cable tied this to ensure the new duct remained in place, however it appears more efficient when used toward the centre of a room instead of the edge, so we pulled the main tube straight and used the full 8ft (2.5m) length for the rest (not shown in my images), this increased cooling by a lot, however if you space is small, this won't be an issue. Finally cost of running. Typically I would spend around £2.50-£3 a day on electric due to PC's, however this uses around 36p an hour of power, after a full 24 hour test I used £8.40 in electric. Expensive to run this long all the time, however as I work a lot, the unit is only on for around 5-7 hours a day. I am happy with the purchase and as I rent, having a portable unit was essential.

### ⭐ Stopped working after just five weeks
*by C***X on 1 August 2025*

While it worked, this was a perfectly fine AC unit. I admit that I was a little disappointed with how long it took to cool my room, and the length of the hose made it very difficult to reach my windows. It's not particularly quiet, but I didn't really expect it to be. None of this really matters though, as after five weeks the unit powered up briefly for the last time. Delonghi didn't want to consider repairing it and insisted that my only option was to return it to Amazon for a refund or replacement. Given the item was no longer available (and now over £100 more expensive), I had no option but to return it for a refund. Amazon insisted that I needed to box it up (I had unfortunately discarded the original box), and as they couldn't offer me a collection date that worked for me, left it to me to arrange the courier. I have been assured that they will reimburse me the costs incurred to return it, but only time will tell. Disappointed at the short lifespan of the product, I will be avoiding Delonghi in the future.
