I purchased two identical units open box and found that one was plenty for the thousand square feet room. The unit is fantastic, quiet and does what it's supposed to . Current retail is almost $1,000. I paid $750. It's a steal $500. The De'Longhi PAC EL287HLK is a portable air conditioner from their Pinguino line, known for its 4-in-1 functionality and energy efficiency. Here are the product details: Key Features: * 4-in-1 Functionality: It serves as an air conditioner, heater, dehumidifier, and fan, offering year-round comfort. * Cooling Capacity: * ASHRAE: 14,000 BTU * DOE Standard (SACC): 8,700 BTU (some sources also mention 7,200 BTU, it's good to confirm the exact DOE rating for the specific model variation) * Coverage Area: Designed to cool and heat rooms up to approximately 700 sq. ft. * Eco Real Feel Technology: This exclusive feature balances temperature and humidity, aiming for optimal comfort while saving up to 30% in energy consumption. It continuously monitors the room's climate and adjusts the compressor and fan speed accordingly. * Arctic Whisper Technology (Quiet Mode): Reduces noise levels by up to 50% for quieter operation, making it suitable for use during sleep or while watching TV. * Portability: Equipped with castor wheels for easy movement from room to room. * Washable Filter: Screens impurities from the air and is easy to clean. * 24-Hour Programmable Timer: Allows you to schedule the unit to turn on or off in advance. * Remote Control: Full-function remote for convenient control. * Digital Controls: Sensor Touch panel for easy operation. * Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Uses R-410A refrigerant. * Single Hose Exhaust: Hot air is vented out through a single exhaust hose, typically connected to a window venting kit. * Self-Evaporating System: Most De'Longhi Pinguino models are self-evaporating, meaning they automatically evaporate the condensed water, reducing the need for frequent draining. Specifications (Approximate): * Dimensions (D x W x H): Approximately 15"D x 18"W x 30"H (Note: some sources vary slightly, e.g., 15.1"D x 17.6"W x 29.2"H). * Weight: Around 69-71 pounds. * Voltage: 115 Volts. * Wattage: Approximately 1242 watts. * Noise Level: Around 53-54 dBA (decibels). * Cord Length: 6 feet. * Moisture Removal Capacity: Around 150-170 pints/day. * Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER): Varies, but often around 7.3 - 7.8. Considerations: * Window Kit: Comes with a window venting kit for installation, but some users note that the accessories (like the hose and window kit) can sometimes be flimsy and may require custom solutions for a better seal, especially with larger windows. * Noise: While it has a "quiet mode," some users still find the compressor noise noticeable when it cycles on. * Hose Length: The provided exhaust hose is typically around 4-6 feet and extending it is generally not recommended as it can damage the product and reduce efficiency. This model is designed for efficient and versatile climate control in larger rooms, offering a combination of cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and fan functions with a focus on energy efficiency and quiet operation.
