Olimpia Splendid 1960 01960 Dolceclima Compact 8 P Portable Air Conditioner Unit with Cooling, Fan, Dehumidifier 8.000 BTU/h, Gas R290, Design Made in Italy, White

Great product did some research and read some reviews and am very pleased with the AC unit.I have the 10000 which is plenty powerful enough to cool our bedroom bathroom and landing. Agree with the other comments yes it makes some noise but nothing outrageous and this is an actual Air Conditioning unit not a cheap air cooler so don’t expect this to be silent but you will get used to it. We have had the unit for 3 years now and it hasn’t missed a beat and we wouldn’t be without it. Honestly I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. I’m writing this in the summer of 2025 and we are in our 3rd “heatwave” of the season although we used to just call it summer, but I digress.

I bought this during a recent UK heatwave when temperatures were hitting 34 to 35 degrees. We have young children and an elderly dog, and the heat was really starting to affect him, so we needed a fast and reliable solution. This unit absolutely delivered.Our living room is quite large, and this air conditioner had no trouble bringing the temperature down from 35 degrees to a much more manageable 23. It made a noticeable difference within an hour. The unit itself is fairly big but looks sleek and modern. It doesn’t stand out in a bad way and feels very well made. The wheels make it easy to move between rooms, even though it’s on the heavier side.Setup was straightforward, the instructions were clear, and the remote control is solid and responsive. I had it delivered next day and was up and running immediately, which was exactly what we needed at the time.The only downside for me was the pricing. I paid full price during the peak heatwave, and just a few days later it dropped by £60. That was disappointing to see, but it doesn’t take away from how well the unit works. It’s expensive, but during a heatwave with a struggling dog and uncomfortable kids, it felt worth every penny.Highly recommended if you need something that works fast and looks good doing it.

I must say, I'm not sure why some people are moaning about this unit. This is the second machine I have purchased in the last two years, the firs unit was a cheap unit and was very loud and it was freezing or nothing so I thought I would pay a little more and ended up buying this one and I am so glad I did as it is much more superior to my other machine.People complain about the noise but trust me this machine is quiet compared to most mobile units, it cools very well, cools my medium sized room in minutes, silent mode is very very quiet so great for sleeping.The normal cool mode is a little louder but only when the compressor thing is running and when its extra hot, usually the lower you drop the temp the louder the machine, but if you keep the temp above 21 it is pretty quiet compared to other machines.The electric use is pretty darn good as well, I have solar panels on my roof (not owned by me) and when the sun is out I can run this machine for free so I don't think they cost nearly half the amount of electric as other machines.I am very happy with my purchase and if I get the cash I will most deffo purchase two more of these machines for other rooms.I feel much more awake when using this machine, my lungs are not great as I smoke heavy and have damaged them over the years and struggle to breath in the hot weather but when this machine is on it feels like I have a new set of lungs, so I really could not be happier, if all goes well I think I will stick to this brand from now on.People have also complained about issues regarding the exhaust out of British windows, if you have a small open out window use the strong cardboard from the aircon box and cut a piece to size and then cut a hole a little bit smaller than the size of the pipe (in order for it to get a firm hold) then attach the card to the window with sticky velcro so you can move it to a different room or to close the window if needed and it works very well.The only issue I have is that the pipe is a little short but it's how they are made in order for them to be efficient, the longer the pipe the least efficient the machine will become so be careful about lengthening the pipe, just put the unit on a table like I did.Awesome machine, an absolute god send!

Very good air con unit good value for money came within Day 2 also has refrigerant to make it extra cold and the remote as a orange backlight so you can see it in the dark control it while you're in bed or awesome I am buying another one

I bought this as there was talk of a heatwave in 2022, the heatwave came and this was great. We're a family of 4 including a 4 year old and a 7 month old baby. With temperatures approaching 40° outside this made a huge difference. Out lounge was about 29° this bought it down to 23° in about 20-30 minutes, approx 4x5m room. It made the room very comfortable. We also used it a little in the bedroom for a couple of nights - it's a little heavy to move upstairs but entirely possible for an a led bodied person, don't use the side handles, lift it from the bottom and walk up. Carefully.With regards to the unit itself it's better looking that most units, although air con units are never particularly attractive! Nice curves, duck egg coloured plastic at the top. Nice clear display. It doesn't osolate, it does have 2 vertical fins to aim the cool air. Its fairly noisy but they all are, it was nothing too bad. Maybe need to turn the TV up a notch but nothing bad.Assembly is easy, hose on the back and plug it in. I left it 2 hours after delivery incase it had been on its side.App works well, we get 4 hours of cheap electricity overnight so I set the timer to turn on & off for those 4 hours, that worked well.Not a cheap option but not bad looking, works well too.
