De'Longhi Pinguino EX93 review
De'Longhi Pinguino Extreme PAC EX93 Portable Air Conditioner
By Tom Calder
On the label, the quietest single-hose De'Longhi: 60dB(A), against 62 to 65 for most rivals, with A+ efficiency and a box rating (8,900 BTU) that sits close to its 2.5kW label. It's a bedroom unit at a living-room price, £769.99, and like the rest of the Pinguino range it was out of stock in October 2026, so plan to buy before summer.

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you want quiet and heat in one unit: the Midea PortaSplit has a 59dB(A) indoor label and a heat pump.
