Product Reviews:
DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner |
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Summary: great looking and works for me.
Comments: well shipped without problems, then when I started the unit, I heard some unexpected noise. It turns out1of the part was touching plastic cover so I had to do a little operation to fix it. however since then, it works fine silent. It has 12,000 BTU. I do not know the relativity, however it cools down my living and dining area (about 400 to 500 SF). It will not make the space cold however, again it cools down. |

Summary: Makes a huge difference
Comments: I have had my Pinguino for a couple of years now and it was a great purchase. At the time I did a fair bit of research in looking for a portable air conditioner for a house I was renting. In the end I purchased a Pinguino and I am really happy I did.
Yesterday was the 4th hot day in a row. It was 39 degree Celsius outside, 32 in almost all of the house. However, the room with the Pinguino did not get above 27.

Summary: Run away - terrible warranty policy!!
Comments: DeLonghi portable AC is a rip-off of unsuspecting consumers. Mine broke in a month and a half!! And here is the best part. To get it fixed under warranty, I would have to ship it on my own expense to a service center in New Jersey, which, giving the weight and fragility of this thing, would cost me a small fortune. Basically, for all practical purposes, this is an expensive product with no warranty. I was lucky the seller took it back for a full refund.
It works quite well when it does, though. |

Summary: Pinguino PAC 03U Failure
Comments: Last September 2005 my Mother and brother spent a considerable amount of money purchasing the alleged state-of-the-art current DeLonghi Pinguino PAC 03U portable 7500 BTU air conditioner as a gift for us during a S. CA heat wave. Ironically, we only needed it1day before the weather cooled off during which the unit cooled nicely and worked fine. We carefully emptied it and stored the air conditioner upright until July 2006. We just reconnected it during the current heat wave here in Altadena, CA. We turned in on at night when the outside temperature was 89 degrees. The unit put out tepid air no matter how we started and ran the unit or where we set the fan and theralmost allat. We followed all "troubleshooting" instructions and find ourselves left with a large white plastic doorstop. It is sweltering today (over 109 degrees out) and we have no air conditioning. The tech support line isn't open on weekends, of course, and is only open Eastern time on weekdays. My family spent a lot of hard earned dollars on the Pinguino and it has lost coolant or failed for some other reason after1use and benign storage!! Worse, a search can not even find our model number (Pinguino PAC 03U). It's like it never existed. We are not happy customers and hope to get some sort of compensation from Pingunio, IF we can reach someone about this model. great luck in staying cool if you've purchased1of these things. |

Summary: Like it... careful with shipping
Comments: Ordered a DeLonghi unit and like it. After reading some reviews it seems that some units might get damaged in shipping if poorly pacakged/shipped, causing water to leak - so I purchased from a company with a great shipping and return policy. Unit seems to cool well and I do not have to deal with emptying water which is a huge plus compared to different brand unit I tried. |
