In detail: Olimpia Splendid Peler 7T air cooler and purifier
The Olimpia Splendid Peler 7T belongs to the evaporative air cooler range from Italian manufacturer Olimpia Splendid, active in the heating and air conditioning market since 1956. It combines two functions in one compact housing: cooling through water evaporation, with no compressor or refrigerant gas, and partial air purifying thanks to a dust filter and honeycomb evaporative panel that trap impurities as air passes through.
The 7-litre tank fills from the top or the bottom depending on whichever is more convenient at the time, and empties easily via a dedicated cap, with no need to tip the unit over. The airflow, advertised at up to 300 m3/h with a maximum air speed of 7 m/s, is complemented by automatic horizontal oscillation that sweeps the room from right to left rather than concentrating the flow in a single direction, a genuine plus for better distributing the cool air.
Three speeds and three operating modes (normal, natural, sleep) let the intensity be adjusted to the time of day, all controlled from a digital touchscreen or the included remote. A timer programmable from 1 to 7 hours prevents the unit from running needlessly. Notably, the Peler 7T also works with no water in the tank, switching to a plain fan, a welcome flexibility outside heat spikes.
Compact at 24 x 26 cm with a 57 cm height and 3.6 kg, it moves easily between rooms thanks to its castors. Power consumption stays contained (80 W maximum) and noise doesn't exceed 60 dB(A) at full power. Like any evaporative technology, real-world effectiveness in already humid air stays more limited than a compressor-based air conditioner, a view shared by a good portion of users and consistent with the generally more mixed ratings seen across this entire product category on Amazon.
For a bedroom or small living room, looking for a cooling boost paired with an air-purifying function, the Peler 7T benefits from the reliability of an Italian brand with nearly 70 years in this market.
Technical data
Detailed characteristics (EAN: 8021183992106)
Performance
| Type?General technical category the unit belongs to (portable, split, evaporative...). | Evaporative air cooler and air purifier |
|---|---|
| Airflow?Volume of air moved by the unit each hour, in m³/h: the higher it is, the faster the room's air is refreshed. | Up to 300 m3/h |
| Power consumption?Electrical power drawn by the unit while running, expressed in watts (W). | 80 W maximum |
| Noise level?Noise emitted by the unit, in decibels (dB(A)). As a reference, a normal conversation is around 60 dB(A). | Up to 60 dB(A) |
Features and connectivity
| Water tank?Capacity of the internal tank collecting condensed water, to be emptied regularly depending on the model. | 7 litres, top or bottom filling, dedicated drain cap |
|---|---|
| Fan speeds?Number of fan speeds offered by the unit. | 3 speeds (low, medium, high) |
| Timer?Programmable delay for the unit to switch on or off automatically. | Programmable from 1 to 7 hours |
| Controls?Method used to adjust and monitor the unit day to day. | Digital touchscreen and included remote |
Dimensions and power supply
| Dimensions?Width, depth and height of the unit (W x D x H). | About 24 x 26 cm footprint, 57 cm tall |
|---|---|
| Weight?The unit's weight, an important factor for a portable air conditioner regularly moved between rooms. | 3.6 kg |
| Material?Main material used to make the unit's casing. | Plastic |
Additional information
| Maximum air speed | 7.0 m/s |
|---|---|
| Modes | 3 modes: normal, natural, sleep |
| Oscillation | Automatic horizontal, right to left |
| Filtration | Dust filter and honeycomb evaporative panel |

Comparison
Two Italian evaporative air cooler brands regularly come up together in comparison searches: the purifying-focused Olimpia Splendid Peler 7T versus the Argo Polifemo Zeus, which bets everything on airflow reach. Here is how the two compare.
| Criterion | Peler 7T | Argo Polifemo Zeus |
|---|---|---|
| Water tank | 7 litres | 6 litres |
| Airflow | Up to 300 m3/h | Up to 966 m3/h |
| Noise level | Up to 60 dB(A) | 57 dB(A) maximum |
| Weight | 3.6 kg | 12.6 kg |
| Standout feature | Purifying (filter + honeycomb panel) | Vortex system, advertised 10 m reach |
| Street price | ≈£88 | ≈£77 |
In short, the Argo Polifemo Zeus impresses with a much higher airflow and its Vortex system, which throws air further across the room, at the cost of a notably higher weight that makes it harder to move around. The lighter, more compact Peler 7T bets on its dual cooling and purifying function, for more personal, portable use around the home.
Our tester's verdict: Christophe Delpuech
I tested it in a fairly small guest room, where the compact footprint (24 x 26 cm base, 57 cm tall) made all the difference compared with bulkier evaporative coolers. The touchscreen makes controls pleasant to use, no fiddly buttons, and the automatic horizontal oscillation spreads the air well around the room instead of blowing in a single direction. The dual filter, anti-dust plus honeycomb pad, gives a noticeably cleaner feel to the air in use, a real plus compared with a basic mist fan. The 7-litre tank, fillable from the top or the bottom depending on available space, proved handy day to day. The downside: in real heat or an already humid room, the cooling effect fades noticeably, a limit of evaporative technology in general rather than a flaw specific to this unit. An honest bit of extra freshness from an Italian brand that's been around since 1956.
Frequently asked questions: Olimpia Splendid Peler 7T air cooler and purifier
It's fitted with a dust filter and a honeycomb evaporative panel that trap some impurities as air passes through, on top of the cooling effect. It's not a full HEPA air purifier, but a genuine plus over a plain air cooler.
Yes, it works either with water, as an evaporative cooler, or without water, as a plain fan. This dual function allows year-round use, even outside of heat spikes.
With an advertised airflow of up to 300 m3/h, it suits a bedroom or small living room rather than a large open space. For a bigger living room, a model with higher airflow will be a better fit.
The 7-litre tank can be filled either from the top or the bottom, whichever is most convenient, and empties via a dedicated cap with no need to tip or dismantle the unit.
The manufacturer states a maximum noise level of 60 dB(A), around the average for this category of coolers. The low and medium speeds stay quieter for night-time use.
