Our Verdict

Black+Decker BPACT12HWT

De'Longhi Pinguino Compact PACEM360-6ALWH

The Black+Decker BPACT12HWT outclasses the De'Longhi Pinguino Compact PACEM360-6ALWH in most respects. The Black+Decker has a higher cooling capacity, allowing it to cool a comparably sized space in less time. It's also slightly quieter while running, especially when it comes to fan noise. Unlike the De'Longhi, it also has a heating mode. That said, it's worth noting that the Black+Decker uses R410a as a refrigerant, which incurs a higher environmental footprint and slightly less efficient operation compared to the De'Longhi.
