Build quality & everyday use

What carries the De’Longhi Pinguino PAC N82 ECO in everyday use: comparatively quiet (pleasant for the bedroom with night mode) and De’Longhi brand quality (solid build, proven technology). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: energy class A instead of A+++, less economical than the A+++ EX105.

If you set the device up to save space, allow ventilation clearance of at least 5 cm at the sides and 10 cm at the rear, otherwise the compressor may overheat.

“De’Longhi Pinguino PAC N82 ECO: comparatively quiet and De’Longhi brand quality, and the trade-off is energy class A instead of A+++. At 8.2/10 a fair deal from €350.”

Frequently asked questions about the De’Longhi Pinguino PAC N82 ECO

Which portable air conditioner is quiet enough for the bedroom?

Portable monoblock air conditioners are never completely quiet, because the compressor sits inside the unit. The De’Longhi Pinguino PAC N82 ECO is among the quieter models, though, and has a night mode that reduces output and noise, which makes it one of the better options for the bedroom. If you want it even quieter, pre-cool the bedroom during the day and switch to night/ventilation mode at night.

What room size is the PAC N82 enough for?

It is designed for rooms up to about 80 m³, which corresponds to around 32 m² at normal ceiling height. That suits bedrooms and smaller living rooms well. For a large living room from 35 to 40 m², the stronger PAC EX105 (10,000 BTU) is the better choice.

What does the Eco/night function mean?

In night or Eco mode, the device lowers the fan speed and gently adjusts the target temperature so that it runs quieter and uses less electricity. It is meant for continuous operation overnight without the hum disturbing sleep.

De’Longhi PAC N82 or EX105: which to choose?

The N82 ECO focuses on being quieter, is cheaper and is enough for bedrooms and small living rooms up to ~32 m². The EX105 is stronger (10,000 BTU, up to 40 m²), more economical (A+++) and more expensive. Rule of thumb: bedroom/quiet → N82, large living room/efficiency → EX105.
