Our Verdict
SereneLife SLPAC8
De'Longhi Pinguino Compact PACEM360-6ALWH
The SereneLife SLPAC8 and De'Longhi Pinguino Compact PACEM360-6ALWH each have their own strengths. The SereneLife is a little more compact and is marginally more power efficient when it comes to cooling and maintaining a setpoint. However, it's still far from spectacular in this respect. Meanwhile, the De'Longhi runs noticeably quieter, especially at its lowest cooling setting.
