Stopped working after 18 months and one extended repair
Cooled well for one summer. Nice looking unit.
Broke down after a year, repairing it was difficult and it broke again.

The Delonghi website and literature describing the PAC 290 is all very pretty Euro-looking stuff, promising quiet and efficient operation.
Portable, does not require condensate drain
Noisy, cycles constantly
