DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner

DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air ConditionerI purchased the PAC600T (one step below this unit) from Amazon one year ago. When it arrived, I filled the tank with water, inserted it in the unit and my floor was covered with water less than a minute later. Turns out the unit's plastic base housing was cracked during shipment. Amazon replaced the unit, with the same results for the second unit. At that same time, there must have been lots of returns because Amazon stopped selling the unit. I stepped up to this unit with its slightly higher BTUs and hefty price.

The unit arrived fine, no leaks after filling with water, and I used it most of last summer (in a 14' x 20' room with average height ceiling). The unit puts out cool, definitely not cold, air. The only way to really use the unit is to get it started when the temperature isn't too high, then keep it running. I don't think it would be able to cool a warm room. It simply isn't overly powerful. That may have to do with the fact that it operates at 110 volt, rather than 220 like many AC units that are built into apartment walls.

The unit has been sitting behind my couch all winter. When I went to use it this year, the removable plastic water tank was cracked. It was emptied at the end of the season and not exposed to excessive temperatures, so I don't know what that's about.

I assumed that with the high BTU (and price tag), this would be the unit to use. But I'm going to try one of the less expensive units this year and check out its performance.

I bought 2 units last year. At first it worked fine. Then, this season, when I started to use the air conditioners, one of the unit leaked at the base, ruining my wood floor. I thought I could just use it without water, and I found it to be very insufficient to cool off the room. I have used different models of pinguino and I found that the newer models are more problematic. If it isn't leaking, then it is the alarm light that kept coming on, shutting down the unit. I followed the maintenance procedure to clean the unit, but it doesn't seem to help. I am fed up with pinquino. I think I may have to switch back to those window units.

This product,DeLonghi 700T,was about the worst purchase that I have ever made.The unit ran for 10 mins and then shut off.After several attempts,we finally found the service center that replaced the fan motor--after a 4 month wait for the part.But that did not fix the problem--the unit shuts down after a short run.Because all of this has taken so long,Delonghi says that the warranty is now limited and that I have to take the unit to a service center 50 miles away.It has been close to 2 years and I still do not have a functioning air conditioner.

I purchased a Pinguino PAC 700T 3 years ago. Rated at 12,000 BTUs, it cools about as well as a 6000 BTU in-window unit. However, at the beginning of this summer season, I find that it no longer cools or dehumidifies air. I found DeLonghi's central service number (800-322-3848 in case you need it) and asked for my nearest service/repair center. They informed me that they no longer have any repair centers in Massachusetts. They suggested that I take the unit to Hartford, CT, about 2 hours from Boston where I live. Having paid $1300 for this unit just 3 years ago, I expected better service than this. It appears that DeLonghi maybe doesn't care too much about supporting their products after the sale. This will be my last DeLonghi product of any kind.

Last September 2005 my Mother and brother spent a considerable amount of money purchasing the alleged state-of-the-art current DeLonghi Pinguino PAC 03U portable 7500 BTU air conditioner as a gift for us during a S. CA heat wave. Ironically, we only needed it one day before the weather cooled off during which the unit cooled nicely and worked fine. We carefully emptied it and stored the air conditioner upright until July 2006. We just reconnected it during the current heat wave here in Altadena, CA. We turned in on at night when the outside temperature was 89 degrees. The unit put out tepid air no matter how we started and ran the unit or where we set the fan and thermostat. We followed all "troubleshooting" instructions and find ourselves left with a large white plastic doorstop. It is sweltering today (over 109 degrees out) and we have no air conditioning. The tech support line isn't open on weekends, of course, and is only open Eastern time on weekdays. My family spent a lot of hard earned dollars on the Pinguino and it has lost coolant or failed for some other reason after one use and benign storage! Worse, a search can't even find our model number (Pinguino PAC 03U). It's like it never existed. We are not happy customers and hope to get some sort of compensation from Pingunio, IF we can reach someone about this model. Good luck in staying cool if you've bought one of these things.

BEM1045 Bemis Original Waterwick Humidifier Filter

BEM1045 Bemis Original Waterwick Humidifier FilterThis product is adequate, but the one shipped to me was made by a different manufacturer, and was different and flimsier than the original equipment. It fits, and does the job, but it shouldn't be labeled as original equipment.

Just the annual replacement filter for my 400-series Bemis humidifier, but obviously manufactured by someone else. The part fit well and is working fine.

It provides the filteration needed, it is long lasting and best of all the price is very reasonable. I have used this product in my older model and that was why I chose to order it again.

I have used these for years. I live in the northeast where most people have forced hot air heat. Without humidification you will always feel like overdone toast. This is an easy way to get factory replacement wicks without tramping all over town trying to find them. Brand x is a bad idea. These are best.

The filters fit and work perfectly and were sent promptly. I am very satisfied with this purchase and the product.

Livart Warm & Cool Dual Humidifier L-281C (White)

Livart Warm & Cool Dual Humidifier L-281CWe bought two of these humidifiers but through a local store, not Amazon. This is an attractive unit with both warm and cool mist options. We really like that there are two nozzles that can be swiveled to where you want the mist directed. It has a capacity that lasts for about a day or so depending on what mist intensity you choose. It is easy to clean and can be run without a filter which leads to lower cost for the long run. It is also very quiet and can be used in a bedroom. I also appreciate that it has a small footprint so takes less room on a counter.

My two wishes for improvements would be to make it a top fill for even easier use and a humidistat so it would shut off at a desired humidity but theses are both minor requests. Overall I am very pleased with this unit.

Love the design and small footprint. We're using it in the bedroom, so far on warm mist.

There are two openings for the mist that can be place in different directions. It's easy to fill. We find ourselves filling it every other day, using it on a low setting which is sufficient for our mid to large sized bedroom. I hope it continues to work for a long time.

880 Autoflo Humidifier Replacement Plate (5 Pack)

880 Autoflo Humidifier Replacement PlateAfter doing a search on the internet for replacement wicks for the Bonanza evaporative cooler I found that these were the ones to use. They fit just like they should. Unfortunately, being made of fiberglass small peices tend to fall from it, might be different once wet. Be careful handling these as well, they break easy.

Humidifier Filter 3-Pack for Holmes HWF100

Humidifier Filter 3-Pack for Holmes HWF100There really isn't much to say about humidfier filters. The transaction was easy and was delivered in a timely manner.

took very long to receive items ordered that we had forgotten that we had ordered these items. As to how they work don't know yet because we had purchased other filters to make unit work and have not had to get into these items yet.

The filters arrived before the expected date which was good. They were protected in the box. They tend to bend very easily in the humidifier which is a little annoying but they do work.

BestAir G13 General / Hamilton Metal Waterpad

BestAir G13 General / Hamilton Metal WaterpadWe love having a humidifier on our furnace! Please continue to stock this item. It's getting harder to find them.

My humidifier is 15 years old. It still works however. One word of caution to not only change this media once per season but to clean the housing from any mineral build up especially in the bottom "trough".

This fits my cheap gen aire whole house humidifier, the same as the original filter. This will last about a year on moderate use.

HOMEIMAGE Baby Tiger design Cool Mist humidifier

HOMEIMAGE Baby Tiger design Cool Mist humidifier
  • 8 to 10 hours of use in one tank (1.8L)
  • Use as little as 20W
  • Ultra quiet
  • Auto off when water is empty

Too cute not to love. Works well, however, it's only a cold vapor not a hot and cold humidifier. If you are looking for a hot humidifier that you can pour the vicks vapor liquid into -this is the wrong machine for you.

its definitely bigger than I thought but it's so cute i just smile at it. the water vapor is immediate and comes out at an angle so you can actually direct where it goes. its very easy to operate and refill.
