How often should I drain my portable air conditioner?

Depending on the humidity in your space, you will need to drain your portable air conditioner as often as every 8 hours. However, you usually won’t need to drain your portable air conditioner this often. If you live in a dry area, then you will rarely need to drain your portable air conditioner.

Does DeLonghi Pinguino need water?

The virtuous cycle of cooling is unique to the De’Longhi Pinguino. High levels of efficiency and effectiveness are achieved through the use of water, delivering optimised performance with lower energy consumption.

Is it worth buying a portable air conditioner?

Portable air conditioners can be remarkably convenient for many homeowners and renters, and they are an affordable way to bring a little cool air into your living space. They can also be a lifesaver if your regular air conditioner is broken — you can get them up and running quickly while you wait for repairs.

Why is my DeLonghi Pinguino not cooling?

Delonghi Portable Air Conditioner Not Blowing Cold Air (Not Cooling Room) In most cases, the problem is the filter needs washing and is clogged. If you have time, you can try to take it out and clean. If not, then you should seek professional help to clean it.
