You asked about a cooler for a humid rental with no aircon
De'Longhi Pinguino 2.6kW portable air conditioner PACEM93KSILENT, but not yet
Wait until 27 Nov 2026
The Black Friday sales start on 27 November 2026. Summer heat has not hit yet, so a 2 week wait costs you little. Buy then, at a sale price if there is one.
Editorial timing, dated. We don't run price alerts.
De'Longhi Pinguino 2.6kW portable air conditioner PACEM93KSILENT
- It cools the air and dries it too, so it works in humid heat.
- You do not need to install it, so it suits a rental.
- Its 2.6kW size suits a bedroom or a small living room.
Also fine: Dimplex 40cm DC Digital Pedestal Fan (DCPF40DC) if your budget is under $150 and moving air is enough for you.
The unpaid alternative
Close your blinds and windows on hot days. Open them at night for a cross breeze. Point a fan you own at your bed, and sleep in the coolest room. You can also ask your landlord about a split system.
No commission on this line. It stays on every verdict.
How we decided
We compared portable air cons with evaporative coolers for humid Australian summers. We picked the type that dries the air and needs no install in a rental. On 13 November 2026 we checked that the De'Longhi Pinguino PACEM93KSILENT is a current Australian model, on De'Longhi's Australian site. We confirmed its price and that a window kit comes in the box at The Good Guys and other Australian shops. We also checked the Dimplex fan at Dimplex Australia and JB Hi-Fi.
In Australian shops: $800 to $900 when we checked. This is not Amazon's price. Prices move, so check before you buy.
