The DeLonghi Pinguino GentleJet PAC AP98 incorporates proprietary airflow ducting to eliminate harsh cold drafts commonly produced by traditional portable units. Engineered with GentleJet diffuser vents, it throws an indirect, soft stream of chilled air upwards and outwards to circulate gently across UK living rooms up to 90 cubic metres. Rated at 9,800 BTU cooling output, this A rated air conditioner efficiently balances heat loads during sticky summer spells. Soft-touch digital controls, clear indicator lights, and a full-function infra-red remote control make programming daily cooling schedules effortless. The unit also serves as a high-capacity dehumidifier, pulling dampness and humidity from the air to speed up indoor washing drying or control condensation. Complete with castors, integral grab handles, and an easy-fit window exhaust venting kit, the PAC AP98 offers straightforward plug-and-play installation for any room.
