Olimpia Splendid SILENT 8500

none i;m sweating like a pig in 34 degrees in Gibraltarw

it doesnt work the number 8 shows when I have tried to switch it on for the first time and cant find any reference to what the number - 8 - refers to

3 fan speeds

Leaked water

Quieter than other portable units I've used Relatively light weight, so easier to move Remote control simple and effective Window adapter allows narrow window opening

Noticeably less powerful than my previous 9000BTU unit Plastic casing expanding/contracting with temperature change occasionally causes loud clicks which negate the benefits of quieter fan/compressor Neither remote nor LCD displays current room...

Came with the plastic housing pulled apart, I had to unscrew it and put it back together. Is very noisy, cannot keep the fan at a low speed.

Quiet

Green control panel is ugly

it works, does as advertised

to early to say - hence the overall 8.

low noise

It is much more silent than our previous air con, thought it is still a sound comparable to an old fridge in a room.

When I started it for the first time there was a banging sound. It turned out that casing was coming off from the unit. I had to adjust it and still sometimes the banging starts due to casing not fitting very well.

Looks nice, and cools the room reasonably.

Not particularly quiet - I had expected quieter for a "silent" model. The filters seem to be not as effective as I had hoped. You can only fit one filter at a time, and it covers a small fraction of the overall inlet, so is pretty much bypassed.

It's black, short in height and relatively small. The vent hose is designed well.

The bright green control sticker should be darker. The louvers do not allow you to aim the airflow up or down they are fixed. The unit is not that quite 62dB. The fan speed makes no difference to airflow. The case of the unit vibrates a lot. IT appear...
