    🏠 Compact by design. The PACES72 has a 40% smaller footprint and 45% less volume than a standard Pinguino — yet still cools rooms up to 70m³ effectively. It fits where larger portable ACs simply won't.

    The De'Longhi PACES72 Pinguino Compact is the smart choice when space is limited but cooling is essential. It cools, dehumidifies, and ventilates — no permanent installation, no engineer, no landlord permission needed. Roll it to where you need it, connect the exhaust hose to a window, and you're cool within minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the PACES72 suitable for a bedroom?
    Yes. At minimum fan speed, the PACES72 runs at 47 dB — comparable to a quiet library. Its compact size also means it fits in a bedroom without dominating the space. Set the 24-hour timer to cool the room before bedtime, then let it run quietly through the night.
    What room size is the PACES72 designed for?
    De'Longhi rates the PACES72 for rooms up to 70m³. With a 2.5m ceiling that is approximately 28m²; with a 3m ceiling, approximately 23m². It performs well in bedrooms, smaller living rooms, and home offices — but is not intended for large open-plan spaces.
    Does it need to be installed or drilled?
    No. The PACES72 is fully portable. You only need a window or small gap to route the exhaust hose. The included flange and cap kit fits most standard windows. No tools, no engineer, no permanent changes to your property.
    Does it need to be manually drained?
    Under typical UK and EU conditions, the condensate recycling system manages water automatically through the exhaust hose. In very high humidity, some manual draining may occasionally be required. The unit will alert you when this is needed.
    What is the difference between the PACES72 and the AP98 GentleJet?
    The PACES72 is the compact option — 40% smaller footprint, lighter (22.9 kg vs 31.9 kg), and designed for rooms up to 70m³. The AP98 GentleJet is more powerful (11,500 BTU/h vs 8,300), covers larger rooms (up to 100–110m³), and features GentleJet technology that directs air upward to eliminate cold draughts entirely. Choose the PACES72 for smaller spaces and the AP98 for large living rooms or open-plan areas.
