Review on 🐧 DeLonghi Penguino PACEX390UVcare-6AL WH 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier, Fan, and UV-Carelight (White) by Steven Barbon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Powerful, so versatile and ingenious with built in UV germ protection

I love the great performance and room cooling ability of this portable air conditioner, as well as the UV treatment option to combat pests in a hopeless position in the air. I also appreciate that everything you need is included, but you'll need a longer vent pipe if it's not right next to a window. The remote control that comes with this device also comes with a set of batteries and apart from being the best way to protect this device during transport it is not a very long process to get it up and running. The remote control opens the flap on the lid to let air out, as well as change modes, move forward and backward for more air movement, control how high or low the desired temperature of the air conditioner is, etc. Before long you can feel how the air coming out of the car gets colder, although it took a little longer than some other small units I've used. The addition of UV to clean the internal airflow before it exits is pretty awesome and I wish this option was more common on portable, window and central units. Personally I can't tell what difference it makes when it's running, but I think it should do something. The exterior of the device is sleek and white, giving it a simple and clean look. Wiping doesn't seem to be a problem as the surface is smooth and there aren't many tricky and unnecessary spots. There is a built in control panel that can be used, but I think I'd like to hook and secure (Velcro) the remote to a conspicuous side for better keeping up with it. The noise level isn't super loud when the AC part is running, but it's certainly not quiet. It doesn't bother me, but I like the fan noise. The dehumidifier function is another plus, helping to get rid of mustiness or dampness if needed and then using the fan only function. In general, I am very satisfied with this conditioner because it is powerful and particularly innovative with a built-in UV function. Thank you for reading.
