Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Ductless Mini Split Systems
This model is lighter, thinner and easier to move around than the model Delonghi PACW160A I bought 8 years ago (rating 4.7kw). It is certainly not an improved product. During the few weeks of terrible summer heat in 2017 I ran both units just to stay tolerably cool. The light panel turns itself off after a while making it easier to sleep at night. This is probably the only good improvement. However it seems noisier and shakier even though the power is just 0.3kw higher. It does not feel cooler at all. The outer plastic construction feels flimsier than the old model. Also it takes a lot longer wait for the compressor to start. The old model would start the compressor within 1 minute. This one would take 3 minutes to start. I paid a lot more for the old model! It looks like price competition has forced them to lower the quality. I am happy that the old model still works well after 8 years. The wheels all failed due to poor plastic quality. However, I went to a bargain shop and bought 4 wheels for $12! It was easy to replace them and it is easy to wheeled around again.Read full review

Works better in a small lounge room than a bedroom as it’s a little loud
