Lowest price the De'Longhi 400 sq ft Portable AC (PACEM360) has been all season. I've been patiently searching for a small portable AC for my husband's sauna of an office. Finally found a small unit for decent price. Bring on the cold!!!

This brand is infamous for being awful and is not BTU rated or energystar certified. Not worth that price. Always check reviews. No warranty or customer support for any issues.

This brand is a borderline scam.

Hello. Both the manufacturer and Amazon website states 2yr warranty? What unit would you suggest for an office?

Don't buy these type of ACs. The exhaust hose is so hot that it counters the conditioned cold air. The way around the hot air exhaust hose it to insulate it from the unit all the way to the window with something that doesn't leak hot air.

Agreed. I bought their espresso machine and only got to use it a handful of times before it broke. Garbage

Surprised to see so many negative comments.

We run 2 De'Longhi Pinguino supplementally. Can't run a standard window unit due to some goofy sliding windows. Been ENTIRELY satisfied with them, both 6K DOE like this used in ~375 SQFT bedrooms in a older home with essentially zero insulation. Kept the rooms in the mid 70s even during the recent 115 degree heat wave. Much quieter than similar LG units we looked into. Had exactly zero issues with regular use over the last few years.

One unit delivered without a remote, called the 1-800 number on their site and got to a human almost instantly and they shipped one out with Express shipping the next day, super satisfied overall.

I have a different brand and the exhaust flex duct is hot but it cools just fine. Sure it may be inefficient but what kind of portable AC units don't have hot exhausts? Are there brands with insulated flex duct? You could always buy a bag of 6" R8 flex duct if you wanted.

You're right, they're all the same with an exhaust pipe. What we did too minimize the heat on the room was to raise the entire unit of the ground and put it as close to the window was possible to shorten the amount of hot pipe in the room. We also wrapped the pipe with aluminum foil.

Ghetto fabulous? Yes! But did it work? Yes!

I bought this unit several years ago at Costco. It works, it is a bit loud and seems to be less effective at removing humidity when compared to window units.
There is a use for everything. I appreciate the ease of installation, in minutes and not having to lift a 100 lb window unit. We use this model early in the season and also feel safer securitywise because I can leave it in and run screws entirely through the two window so a thief can not raise the window and climb in.
To restate, a bit loud, a bit less effective but easier and safer than through window units.
