Poor perfomer constantly needing water
The unit is bulky and heavy, it does not move well as the casters are too small. It struggled to cool a 7m x 5m room. It needs to be refilled quite often with water.
Had it used during summer just on hot days, bought it about 4 years ago. Suddenly it has given up and won’t turn on, there’s no reset switch. Replacement parts and service technician will set me back about $500. I’ve looked inside at the parts and there’s nothing burnt out or faulty looking.
Noisy, needed to replace filter, uses a lot of water, doesn't cool the room enough on hot days
I bought this Dec 2017. It doesn't cool the room enough when outside temp is 30 degrees or more, and it adds a lot of heat to the room from the back piping that leads out the window. If you put it on 18 degrees to try to get ahead of the heat first thing in the morning, (because it's going to be 30+ outside), water droplets form and gather on the top of the unit which is a safety risk. I can't stand to be in the room for too long due to the noise, because it causes ringing in the ears after a few hours. It uses a lot of water everyday. I'm havi
... Read moreng to add 10-20 L per day of water, which is high maintenance and wasteful, and it usually spills on the floor because it's hard to be accurate filling it with the way the tank is set up. I had to replace the limescale filter after one season use (3 months use) and it was expensive, about $80 inc post, AND Delonghi doesn't sell them! So I had to source it online and they took a month to send it to me because they were chasing the part from the supplier, which I imagine is Delonghi. It's not that portable, it's not on wheels and it's not that quick to set up in a window when you have to fiddle around with setting up the window frame and pipe and plug up all the gaps. I would have been better off investing in an air con that has the motor sitting outside the window and not in the room (hindsight).
Not good for Queensland summer
Not easy to set up, compartment for water does not open and close easily and very bulky. Extremely noisy, need ear plugs to sleep. Purchased for bedroom in rented apartment but needs to be set at 18 degrees to slightly cool fairly small room, not looking forward to first electricity account. Not worth the high price.

it was okay
I bought it from the good guys on the hottest day of the year. No discount at all so it was a bit expensive. It does its job and cooled down the room. The aircon itself is quite noisy. it's hard to get to sleep with this machine on.. so only gave it 2 stars

Surprisingly underwhelmed...
So disappointed. Bought last Jan to replace 10 yr old Delonghi Pinguino workhorse. Didn't realise how lucky I had been. So far at $200/use, it has proven itself a very expensive and not very effective fan, takes up a huge amount of space and 3 weeks ago decided to not turn on - just as the hot weather really hit. It was 5 uses in and had to be returned to be fixed under warranty. To be fair, the outsourced contractors Delonghi use were very quick considering their workload. The computer board had to be replaced; it now turns on but the performa
... Read morence is still pretty average and it no longer looks new. It in NO way compares to my previous Delonghi which valiantly held 40 degrees at bay downstairs in a 2 bedroom terrace. I find you have to fill the water tank often and it doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference anyway. Can't wait to get my power bill. So the lesson here is don't think that by buying a top of the line, more 'economic', more powerful model that you'll get an improved experience - or even a good experience. I'd be really curious to know if anyone that has purchased one is satisfied with it?Details
