Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
Mine is at least 7 years old and is still running like it’s brand new…upstairs in a cape cod. I just keep forgetting how to clean the filter. It’s really important to clean it so ice doesn’t build up. Got it at Sam’s Club. Worth every cent.
We hired someone to install ours for our garage room. He also made a hole for the drip hose to go outside, so we’ve had no problems & it cools wonderfully! I did see another video that said the unit will cut off if there’s too much water accumulated in the hose, so you’d have to drain it, if you don’t have it going outside like mine. So I have the vent & an extra hole for extending the hose to go outside. Great investment for my family.
Mine died in less than a year. I ordered a new "feeler" for it as I received a PF code. Now I'm trying to figure out how to install. Not the best experience.
We just set the machine up in an outdoor building and the hose which we have set up through the window is hot. Should it be hot like that? That hose is so large bore, it reminds me of those hoses that come out of croup tents, the oxygen tents, they use to use for babies or children who have the croup, or who had oral surgery.
we barely use out unit and it has crapped out . Either the condenser or the motor is gone . We might have used it 20 times . No water build up or filter issues . The unit is clean . Tough to get help troubleshooting and no parts .
I have drained a big bucket of water out in less than 2 hours and it's been leaking out the bottom and soaked my rug. I turned off the dehumidifier and now it's blowing warm air.
anyone know HOW you winterize these? is it saying this one doesn't need to be drained? I can just wheel it into a closet & call it good for next year? I don't want moldy water sitting in it. & if I got to transport it is it ok to put on its back for a short car ride?
I have a newer version but doesn't it have like a small hole in the lower back to attach a thin water hose. I have a small water hose that leads the water into a small bucket..
The Delonghi Pinguino does not need to be emptied it evaporates the water and sends it out the exhaust hose right in the window! HOWEVER there is a collection bin and a rubber plug at the back of the unit, if the area you are trying to cool is VERY HUMID YOU MAY NEED TO MANUALLY EMPTY THE COLLECTION BIN!
@@pamthomasson2366 You might screw up the unit trying to hook up a hose to it it might make the evaporator work harder, If it is dripping so severely maybe putting the unit in a rimmed baking sheet to protect the floors!
Query: I recently purchased a portable air conditioner (PACAN280GW). I am asking if it is compatible with an appliance extension chord such as a Powtech 14 gauge, 15 Amps, 125 V 1875 Max Watts. Can such an extension chord be used?
Have had ours setup for 2 weeks in a 430 square foot living room and kitchen that has a divider wall and 10 foot open celings.. this ac doesn't cool it down. At 90 to 95 degrees throughout the week, and the ac on its coldest setting on high all day while brand new, barely lowers our temperature. I hate thus air conditioner and am pissed we wasted so much money on the p.o.s.
It's likely that you are not using a single circuit outlet. Because you have other devices plugged into the room you have the ac unit in, the fuse has to carry more current than it can handle, causing it to blow.
I just watched De'Longhi's TH-cam video titled "How to set up your De'Longhi portable air conditioner". De'Longhi should be ashamed of themselves for the pitiful and horribly misleading venting shown for patio doors and casement windows. The content is not helpful when you give the impression that a "properly sealed" vent installation is as simple as sticking the exhaust hose out an open door or window, without any mention of the gapping openings that need to be addressed. If you cannot show an honest installation, or at least mention the reality, then why should I trust anything that carries the De'Longhi name.
@@alejandrorangel3257 no. However, a solution that works is putting it on top of a shower curtain/tarp and also stuffing puppy training pads underneath the unit (make sure to stuff them so they absorb the water). This method combined has saved my carpet...I think what happens is, in high humidity, it sometimes struggles to keep up...doesn't seem like anything we're doing wrong or like there's anything wrong with the AC unit. For this reason, going forward, I'll just be sticking to AC units with a water tank. I'd rather empty that every few hours than worry about water on the floor.

This unit is great I love it.
Does it work with all windows?
@@shaliangel2010 yes its sooo easy the bracket planks extend and shorten.

For some reason my unit is leaking from the left side excessively. I tried to drain the part in the back but barely anything came out.
just set mine up.. love it
@Sidewayz GARAGE I have mine on the whisper.mode and use the plus minus buttons
Can I keep the screen on window ?
Does it need water?
My tube is over heating, what should I do?
@@trippyandie8459 return it
It's not blowing cold anymore. Bought a few weeks ago maybe more
How do you clean the inside of the unit? There is a TON of cat/bunny fur inside.
Anyone know how to turn off the screen? It wasn't until this year that if flashes things like current temperature, temp setting. Super annoying.

It is extremely loud no one is sleeping soundly , it’s like a factory when the AC is on
😂😂😂 currently using it, got used to the AC factory
Dripping like hell.
How do I put it on standby mode I'm trying to set up the remote that I purchased just for my model

I live in the desert and it leaks everywhere over my tile floor. Looking for ways to install a hose to send it out on patio.

@@storm9685 how the fuck are you going to screw up a unit by letting it drain properly lol
Does it exhaust CO2 or what’s the exhaust?

I'm curious as to how often one needs to drain these units ...
We drain ours but it leaks from underneath.
We have purchase one of these and the one coded out and they sent a new one and again it coded out. I would not recommend this unit.
What do you mean "coded out". Mine stopped showing the temperature.
Mine cools, but makes the room extremely humid.
These get mold inside after one year!
My cable got burnt due to bad outlets (I think), do you think it's only that and not the air conditioner? I hope so!!
Never plug into a strip and never use an extension cord.
@@thelawnranger184 how come you can't use an extension cord
Definitely would not recommend it! After two summers it just stopped giving out cool air.
ooh that's too bad- we have had ours for 10 years and no problems!! I would contact them.
@@JeninBelgium mine is less then 2 months and not cooling room anymore
I have mine for nearly 10 years and it cools just as when I first purchased it. Can't complain.
Maybe you need to clean the air filter.

Pls
Keeps blowing fuse in breaker box

@@diegoaguilar2751 since then I havent blown any fuses. Thank you for your advice, my apartment is now a walk-in cooler.
Mike leaks occasionally
Get Mike some diapers ! Lol 😁
Filter
Can you leave the screen in the window?
I had overheating problem when I did
Had it 2 months, it's no good,we have 2 more different brands, they are great,so sorry we got this crashed, no power in house
Filer

did you manage to fix it? same problem here
