DeLonghi 427-PAC W130E Pinguino Water-to-Air 13,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Eco-Friendly R410a Refrigerant Gas

Designed for cooling large spaces up to 450 square feet, this thoughtfully designed portable air conditioner uses environmentally-friendly R410a refrigerant gas to help protect the environment and the ozone layer. Its refrigerant also provides energy-efficient operation, using less energy to deliver the same amount of cooling as other refrigerant types. For faster, quieter, and even more efficient cooling, add water to the air conditioner's 14-liter internal tank; a full tank offers up to 12 hours of continuous water operation. Use the water-cooling function with "Turbo" mode for 13,000 BTUs of maximum cooling power, or with "Supercool" mode for 11,000 BTUs of cooling power. If the water runs out, the unit will automatically switch to "Cool" mode for 9,000 BTUs of air cooling. In addition to cooling, the three-speed unit also functions as a "dripless" dehumidifier and can remove up to 70 pints of water when in "Dehumidifier Only" mode. Additional modes include Fan-only/Filtering mode, Smart and Sleep modes, and Quiet mode.

The air conditioner also features an electronic control panel with an easy-to-read blue LCD display, a handy infrared remote control, and a 24-hour programmable timer that turns the unit on at a specific time--great for coming home to a cool room at the end of the day. In addition, it comes with an advanced air-filtration system, the Biosilver Techsystem, with high-performance 3M electrostatic filter, silver ions air purifier, and ionizer, a combination that removes allergens, germs, bacteria, and odors from the air. The filter should be replaced once a year. Other highlights include an adjustable thermostat, an electronic humidistat to prevent over-drying the air, and automatic shut-off, as well as durable caster wheels and side handles for portability. Accessories include a Pinguino-style container for filling the water tank, an exhaust hose, and a double window bracket. The unit effectively combines an air cooler, a dehumidifier, and an air cleaner all in one stylish design that will nicely complement any decor. Designed and engineered in Italy, the eco-friendly air conditioner measures 18 by 22 by 35 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
