Delonghi Pinguino 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Inverter Technology and A+ Energy Rating

Inverter Technology cools rooms up to 30% faster with variable speed precision:

The Delonghi Pinguino AP130i GentleJet is powered by Inverter Technology that continuously adjusts compressor speed to match cooling demand. Unlike conventional units that cycle between full power and off, the inverter maintains a stable room temperature with less energy waste and less noise. This variable speed operation cools rooms up to 30% faster during initial cool-down whilst consuming less electricity during steady-state operation, achieving an A+ energy efficiency rating with an EER of 3.2.

Arctic Gentle Surround creates 180° draft-free airflow:

The Arctic Gentle Surround Technology distributes cooled air through a 180-degree outlet, creating an even, gentle airflow throughout the room without the uncomfortable direct cold draft typical of standard portable air conditioners. The GentleJet mode transforms the air stream into a soft breeze that is comfortable during the day and throughout the night, reducing dry skin and dry eyes caused by concentrated cold airflow.

Eco RealFeel monitors temperature and humidity for true comfort:

The Eco RealFeel Technology continuously monitors both room temperature and humidity, automatically adjusting cooling output to maintain genuine comfort rather than simply hitting a target temperature. Humidity is the key factor in perceived comfort, and this system ensures the air feels naturally fresh rather than clammy or artificially cold. This intelligent climate control saves up to 30% energy compared to manual temperature settings.

Silent Technology operates at just 43dB minimum for undisturbed sleep:

The Silent Technology reduces operational noise to just 43dB at minimum speed, comparable to a quiet library. Even at maximum output the noise level reaches only 50dB. This makes the AP130i suitable for bedrooms and living rooms where noise is a concern, particularly during overnight cooling when quiet operation is essential for undisturbed sleep.

3-in-1 function with 73 litre daily dehumidification capacity:

Beyond cooling, the AP130i operates as a standalone dehumidifier removing up to 73 litres of moisture per 24 hours, and as a fan-only mode for air circulation without cooling. This 3-in-1 versatility makes it useful year-round: cooling in summer, dehumidifying in autumn and winter, and circulating air in spring. Five speed settings and a 24-hour programmable timer provide full control over scheduling and output.

R290 environmentally responsible refrigerant:

The AP130i uses R290 refrigerant, which is up to 696 times more environmentally friendly than conventional refrigerant gases. The front-mounted display provides clear status information, and the included remote control allows adjustments from across the room. Castors on the base allow easy movement between rooms, and the 125cm exhaust hose vents hot air through a window using the included window kit.

Setup and Care

Positioning and exhaust hose installation:

Position the unit near a window or external vent point. Connect the 125cm exhaust hose to the rear outlet and route through the window using the included window kit. The hose should be as short and straight as possible for optimal efficiency. Ensure the unit is on a level surface with at least 50cm clearance behind and to the sides for airflow.

Selecting cooling mode and temperature:

Plug the unit into a standard mains socket and switch on using the front display or remote control. Select cooling mode and set your desired temperature. For optimal comfort and energy savings, use the Eco RealFeel mode which automatically balances temperature and humidity. Choose from 5 speed settings based on room conditions and personal preference. Use the 24-hour timer to schedule operation around your daily routine.

Using dehumidifier and fan modes:

Switch to dehumidifier mode during damp conditions to remove up to 73 litres of moisture per 24 hours. Empty the internal water tank when the indicator alerts, or connect the drainage hose for continuous operation. Fan mode circulates air without cooling or dehumidifying, providing gentle ventilation during milder weather.

Maintenance and seasonal storage:

Clean or replace the air filter regularly to maintain optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Empty the water tank fully before seasonal storage. Store the unit upright in a dry, temperate location with the exhaust hose disconnected and stored separately. Run the fan-only mode for several hours before long-term storage to dry the internal components and prevent mould growth.
