Who wins in which category?
| Category | Winner | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling principle | De’Longhi PAC N82 | about 2.4 kW (about 8,000 BTU) compressor cooling vs. evaporative cooling, which only lowers the perceived temperature in spots |
| Room size | De’Longhi PAC N82 | up to 80 m³ (about 32 m²) according to the manufacturer vs. no reliable room figure for the evaporative cooler |
| Placement | CosmartAir 4-in-1 | no exhaust hose, no window needed vs. monoblock with one exhaust hose and wall duct |
| Extra function | CosmartAir 4-in-1 | integrated humidification via ultrasonic mist (80 ml/h) vs. dehumidifying and ventilating for the De’Longhi |
| Oscillation | CosmartAir 4-in-1 | 120° automatic vs. no oscillation for the monoblock |
| Price | CosmartAir 4-in-1 | from €143 vs. from €350 |
Which one is right for you?
If you really want to cool a room down on hot days and accept an exhaust hose at the window → De’Longhi PAC N82. If you only want a light, hoseless refreshment with humidification, do not want to give up a window and want to spend less → CosmartAir 4-in-1. As a real air conditioner, the evaporative cooler is no good.
