The heat, the flies, the red skies (and skin). Summer is on its way and after shivering through winter it’s time to remember how sweltering our homes get when the mercury soars.
De’Longhi is already on board and has slashed the prices of some of its most popular portable air conditioning units as part of the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale this week,
The De’Longhi Pinguino Care4Me air conditioner and dehumidifier is down a whopping $200 to $899.

De’Longhi has also slashed the price of its Pinguino Silent Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier and Fan from $779 to $685.
Both units are easy to use and install with handles and wheels for easy portability wherever you need cooling in your home.
While the Care4Me unit is bigger, and so more suited to larger rooms, both promise less noise than traditional portable units and both offer dehumidification settings too.
The Care4Me unit can be programmed via an app or paired with Alexa so the user can set it to come on before arriving home and it also automatically adapts to ambient temperature and humidity levels.
The smaller unit has a timer function and also triples as a fan if air conditioning is too much.
“It’s worth every cent,” said one reviewer from Perth.
“It does the job. I used to have a different brand portable air conditioner before but this one is much better as it cools the room very fast and quiet as well. For those who are still thinking, just go for it.”
The more expensive model is popular with customers too.
“As a trained refrigeration technician, this more investment is more than justified and sensible,” said one five star reviewer.
“The cooling performance is outstanding and cools my attic room quickly and effectively. The blow-out temperature is 12 degrees despite a room temperature of 28.”
“I highly recommend it, the sweaty summers are over!”
“Absolutely great device! Great performance for the price!,” said another.
“Cools down my huge living room in no time. I have a much more expensive device in the office and that’s not better in performance and much louder.”
Other reviewers talk about the look of the units which is an important consideration given the space they take up in a room.
“The device has a beautiful look and can be stored wonderfully in a corner, as it is not large,” said one.
“The cooling capacity is great and the device is absolutely fine in terms of volume.”
