Delonghi Pinguino 11500 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with GentleJet Cooling and A+ Energy Rating

Arctic Gentle Surround cools rooms 30% faster with 180° draft-free airflow:

The Delonghi Pinguino AP98 GentleJet delivers 11,500 BTU of cooling capacity through Arctic Gentle Surround Technology, distributing cooled air through a 180-degree outlet for gentle, even coverage without direct cold drafts. This optimised air distribution cools rooms up to 30% faster than equivalent models without Arctic Gentle Surround. The GentleJet mode transforms the air stream into a soft breeze that is comfortable during the day and throughout the night, reducing the dry skin and dry eyes caused by concentrated cold airflow.

Eco RealFeel monitors temperature and humidity for true comfort:

The Eco RealFeel Technology continuously tracks both room temperature and humidity, automatically adjusting cooling output to maintain genuine comfort rather than simply targeting a set temperature. Humidity is the key factor in perceived comfort, and this system ensures the air feels naturally fresh. This intelligent climate control saves up to 30% energy compared to manual temperature settings, contributing to the A+ energy efficiency rating.

Silent Technology at just 41dB for undisturbed sleep:

The Silent Technology reduces operational noise to just 41dB in quiet mode, up to 50% quieter than maximum output. This makes the AP98 suitable for bedrooms and living rooms where noise is a concern, particularly during overnight cooling. Even at maximum output the noise level reaches only 47dB. The front-facing display makes it easy to see settings from across the room, and the included remote control provides full adjustment without leaving your seat.

3-in-1 function with condensate recirculation for year-round use:

Beyond cooling, the AP98 operates as a standalone dehumidifier and in fan-only mode for air circulation without cooling. The exclusive condensate recirculation system uses moisture collected during cooling to enhance the efficiency of the cooling circuit, reducing the need to manually empty water. This 3-in-1 versatility makes it useful year-round: cooling in summer, dehumidifying in autumn and winter, and circulating air in spring.

R290 environmentally responsible refrigerant with Dual Mode efficiency:

The AP98 uses R290 refrigerant, an environmentally friendly natural gas. The Dual Mode combines comfort cooling with energy efficiency for optimal performance throughout extended use. Castors on the base allow easy movement between rooms, and the 125cm exhaust hose (150mm diameter) 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 adequate 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. Use Dual Mode to combine comfort with energy efficiency during extended operation.

Using dehumidifier and fan modes:

Switch to dehumidifier mode during damp conditions to remove excess moisture. The condensate recirculation system uses collected water to enhance cooling efficiency, reducing the need for manual emptying. 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. Run the fan-only mode for several hours before long-term storage to dry the internal components and prevent mould growth.
