I have owned this portable air conditioner for 8 years now and it is just as good as the day I brought it home. It cools my lounge room very quickly and maintains that cool temperature even on the hottest of days. I have owned other portable aircons in the past and none come even close to this one. It's quiet, portable, fits in almost every space and if taken care of will last you over a decade. Only one thing I would like to add, I would much prefer to be able to adjust the way the air flows. Other than that I would recommend this to everyone that's looking to buy a portable air conditioning unit.

No, too loud for me. False and misleading information on the description.When the unit is first turned on I was impressed with the noise level, just a mild humming noise, I thought great, yep, I can live/sleep with that. Low and behold after 3 minutes the unit kicks in and the noise coming from the machine is just like the rest of the portable air cons "loud".I was advised that Olimpia has the quietest air cons on the market that is why I went with that brand. Even the wording on the packaging the unit comes in won me over. On the box it states SILENT. Returned the air con back to the good guys for a refund.
Now, that is another review in itself and it is not a good one.

We used this most of the time in our bedroom and it did an admiral job. You just hook the window pipes up and away you go! It even come with a simple remote control so I can turn it off and on without getting out of bed. It put out more cold air than I expected from such a neat little machine and was not too noisy - I could sleep with it on just fine. Good unit!

As we have no internal cooling system at home I bought one of these units to cool the bedroom to make sleeping easier during the very hot Perth summer nights, and what a great unit it is. I put it on an hour or so before going to bed and come into a nice cool room prime for sleeping. Highly recommended :)

This is a great portable air conditioner for rooms and small apartments. Although it does an excellent job at cooling down the room it’s in, the air fails to travel as far as advertised. Additionally, the unit can get quite loud at times due to the compression of air. The portability and easy installation make up for these issues however.

My parents have recently sold and currently renting until they find their next dream home. The master bedroom doesn't have an air conditioner so I started researching this portable air con and weighing up the pros and cons decided upon the Olimpia Splendid Piu. They are completely happy with it and highly recommend it!

Very disappointed with this unit given the price and performance claims made by the manufacturer. With an ambient temperature of 37 degrees in the house, the unit struggled to make any significant impact in a closed 20 square meter room. The unit is relatively portable via the built in wheels but proximity to a window or external area to vent the hot exhaust limits the portability of any such unit. The instructions aren’t great but setup is relatively straight forward. Compared to other units, the PIU is relatively quiet but it would be too noisey to leave on whilst sleeping. Suggest that consumers look for alternatives unless you’re prepared to sit directly in front of the unit to obtain any real benefit.

This air conditioner is a work horse. I've left it on for hours at a time and never had a problem. A lot of portable air cons are really noisy....this is bearable. It won't cool a huge room but if you sit near it in a large room you feel good. In a smaller room it will cool the entire room but I would find it too noisy in an enclosed space.

It's easy to maintain btw

We recently bought 1 and we like it very much.
It cools really quick and so quiet when in use
So happy with our purchase
I would highly recommend this to anyone.. especially during the hot months when we need to stay cool.
One appliance that we just can't do without

I was doing shift work and was sweating buckets during the heat wave in Queensland. I ended up going out and buying one of these units. It's a good bit better than what I thought it would be. It cools down my room quickly, and although it's loud compared to units in the walls, it does ok. It's not powerful enough to cool down a large living room without insulation and with leaky windows, which is understandable, but it's definitely a keeper for the bedroom. It's pretty easy to assemble and connect up as well.

I actually liked this product for the price that I paid for. The actual air was surprisingly quite cool, I liked the product for the price I paid.

I upgraded to a split system later; but with that comes a higher price tag of around $2500/3000.

All in all I would rate this Olimpia GOOD.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, it was easy to set up and easy to move around from room to room, as I would have it in my bedroom at night when we were having heatwaves. Best thing I have bought in a very long time and can't do without it.

First of all, i would like to say something about Olimpia. Olimpia make good products and not crappy ones. But if we talk about this particular product, i'd say that the product could've been better. The design of the product is not so good, the cooling is quite good but again i'd say that it's not the best in this price range so maybe you might want to try something else and not fall for this one.
