LG 7,000 BTU (DOE) 10,000 BTU (ASHRAE) Portable Air Conditioner, 115V, Cools 300 Sq.Ft. (12' x 25' Room Size), Quiet Operation, LCD Remote Control, and Window Installation Kit, White

I have 2 of the LG Portable AC units. Work Flawlessly. Dry Mode works to Remove Humidity. The Cool Mode works Really well for Cooling a room. Best part about this unit no water draining. I would recommend this item.

We read about the noisiness of this model, but it's an AIR CONDTIONER and not overly noisier than any a/c. We love it; set it and let it run. DRAINAGE; we bought a white drain hose which is good. Yes, you can just cut a small opening in the supplied window block/exhaust board and run it outside, but the drainage isb't a big deal or requires constant monitoring (I drained it for a very small trickle after a couple of weeks). I DID use a different insulation foam, also from Amazon, made for cars and looks, insulates and works much better. This unit is clean and capable. Easy and fast to set up. Has a remote that is fine. Does NOT use a tone of power to operate!A cost-effective way to cool space instead of central air.

My LG portable AC unit was delivered on July 10th and neighbors helped me install it on the 11th, because I couldn't even get the box into the house, much less up the stairs. The first night of operation, the whole thing shut off after only a couple of hours, but came back on when I pushed the Power button. It stopped again after another hour, but this time the green lights were on. I can't sleep if it keeps shutting off and on. As for the noise level, it fluctuates depending on when the compressor kicks in, which also disturbs my sleep. I also smell some kind of an odor, although I'm told the refrigerant has no odor (they also don't tell you it uses R32 refrigerant in the specs). When it runs, it does put out cold air so far, but not sure I can deal with all the other problems. It's also only got a 30 DAY RETURN POLICY, and because they don't provide technicians for home repair, it means I'd have to haul this heavy thing down the stairs and try to get it to a UPS Store for return. I would have to pay someone to do it for me, which is totally inconvenient! I'd think twice about getting one of this room ac units! Update is the 2nd night. I had it set to Cool @76 degrees and it was 75degrees outside according to TWC. For some reason tonight, the compressor keeps cycling on and off more frequently than last night, which is really irritating. The unit is running and staying at 76 degrees, but the change in the noise level is driving me crazy. I am used to a consistent White Noise machine. At 2 a.m. I turned it from Cool to Fan Mode and turned on my regular floor fan and slept better. Is it normal for this to cycle so rapidly???

So 3 months into owning this unit it’s finally hot enough outside to set it up. IT WORKS! Good thing since I’m out of my return window. Background: Moved into my first home with Central Air, works great downstairs, not so good upstairs. We lack a return up here, it is a retrofit gravity system. I needed a solution to not melt myself and my wife in a relatively small room with 2 robust gaming PCs and too many monitors. Pros: Air out the top is nice and cold Remote is easy to use Setup was about 10 minutes Fan blows strong and the cooling vent has a nice oscillation Cons: Pretty darn loud (All portable AC’s are since the compressor is inside the room) Exhaust tube is Very Hot, which is to be expected if you have any idea how an ac works. After about 30 minutes the computer room (upstairs, old house, 11x15’, newer windows) is still pretty warm, but it is getting better. (1 hr- still not Cold, yet better. Although there is no gaming going on so that will be the true test. I will update if this LG fails that test) Hindsight being 20/20, just shoving a window ac in would have definitely cooled the space faster and not introduced extra heat into the room (exhaust tube), while also being a bit quieter. BUT - Being relatively portable and not having to screw anything into my window/frame is very convenient. I can see myself keeping this unit and not giving it away like I have 7-8 window ac units before. Also hindsight, should have kept one… Tip: Keep the vent as short and straight as possible. Unit has a dehumidifier mode, you Must attach a hose to the upper drain. No hose/drain required dying AC mode, the unit has an evap system. It will however warn you if you need to drain it. I’d call it a safe buy, reputable brand, fair price per BTU. I think I’ll get some kind of insulation for the vent.

I had to move into my parents house in Phoenix to help take care of them when my mother hurt herself, and my father is insane, and doesn't believe in using the AC until June >.> I'm in a small room that faces the afternoon sun, and get boiling hot, even if the house AC is running because it also only gets a sideline offshoot duct that brings in almost no air. I looked at a very small Midea and a Frigidaire, both because of their compact size and lower power usage (I was concerned running my computer *and* an AC unit together in here) but settled on this guy after reading the reviews, and having several other LG products. I also liked that this was *not* made in China, unlike every other model I looked at. I know this is a very tiny room it's in, smaller than its recommended footage, but with the sun beating down and being 96 degrees out already, its capable of getting the room down to seventy degrees, within 15 minutes. With a computer and 65inch TV baking away. That's no joke, this thing is a beast. Yes, it's a little loud, a little larger than I was hoping for, and I wish I had a real 'low' setting, but for what it can do, I'm alright with that. Luckily it's dryer than good British comedy here, so I don't have to worry about water collection. Also, it *can* make an awful racket with the compressor running if the plastic housing is shifted just enough to make it touch the frame and vibrate, but I put a little piece of soft foam just under the lip of it on the bottom, and makes absolutely no noise now. Well, other than its normal operating blower fan drone. When it first did that, I was upset thinking it was a mechanical problem, and I'd have to deal with a heavy return. Then I realized it went away completely if I held a hand to the plastic housing on the front, and it was just the vibration. All in all, as long as it keeps working and doesn't set the house on fire in my sleep, I'm happy with it.

Our blower just up and quit on the hottest week on record. Our AC repair company didn't think to overnight the part and we didn't think to ask either (until we were suffering). Lesson learned, get it overnight. We had bought this "just in case" several months ago. We set it up. Honestly underpowered but a lifesaver while the outdoors was literally 99 degrees! It took a whole week to get the part. So around day 2 we went out and found a second one locally that was even more powerful. We plugged that in on a different circuit. Same room. Total of about 17K BTU cooled a very large living room with two offices ( three laptops), working from home, down to about 71-79 degrees. Compared to the alternative, the rest of the house was around 88-95 and humid, it was an improvement. Be realistic about what you're getting. There's going to be a heat wave that nothing will fix. But this is still better than no AC. When the AC went back on, it took 8 hours for it to get back to normal. Meanwhile we ran one of the little ACs in the living room to keep cool. We had a bad situation. Our living room is huge, it's very open with doorways we had to cover over and doors we had to keep closed. We were constantly getting a hot breeze over the top of the curtain we hung over a hallway. It was the best we could do. Computer situation made it impossible to use another room. Setup was so easy compared to wrestling a heavy air conditioner into a window, then arranging it so it's angled right, using bits of wood and cardboard, taping it all around, to keep out bugs... etc. Never again. We have two of these and they're awesome. We're going to use one in the kitchen when cooking in the summer heat. No more sweating in the kitchen.

I really wanted this to work and had to convince my husband to try it. Living in Texas I thought this might save us some $$ on electricity this summer when things get really hot. I'd say it would save money for sure if we could tolerate it... When I purchased this I was looking at numerous models and types of coolers looking for noise factor, convenience and ability to really cool a room. I landed on this LG model which in all honesty does really cool the room. I have this in a 17 x 14 master and felt it cooled when set a couple degrees colder than I would want it. Installation: pretty simple. When it comes to hooking the hose to the coupling, do read the directions! I walked in to find my husband attempting to "cram" the hose in which obviously was not working. It is a simple threading of the hose into the connector if you just follow the instructions. We did end up having to duct tape the window fitting to the window itself. First night: turned on the unit and first thought was "omg, that is freaking loud". To give some reference, if I'm in a hotel with one of those loud window units, I actually sleep better than without. It does not keep me awake. My husband hates them but tolerates them. Never has he put an ear plug in his ear ever to sleep. Fast forward to the first night and it wasn't 10 minutes and he was fitting ear plugs. With those, he slept fine. I cannot wear ear plugs to bed, somehow they actually amplify noise. Not to mention i was the one who was ok with white noise while sleeping. This thing kept waking me up. First it was the sound level. Anyone who says this is equivalent to the central air noise is hard of hearing. This was much, much louder. Louder even than those annoying hotel window units. It was also inconsistent in operation. So at times it would completely shut off, making pure silence only to kick in again like a jet engine. Other times you could hear the cooling go off but the fan kept going. That is what I was expecting in terms of how it would run. But the times it would go completely off and then on were very disruptive. The last straw was when I woke hotter than all at which time I shut it off and cranked the ac. Slept like a baby after that. For anyone who can't sleep with noise, consider this when purchasing any such window type cooler. End result: this is going to the garage. My husband can use it to cool his space in the summer when it is too hot to work on the cars. Neither of us could sleep with this running. Will I reconsider when it turns 110 and we can't seem to get the ac to ever stop when it is set at 78 degrees? Maybe, but we would have to be ready to insert the ear plugs. I cannot imagine sleeping with this every night.

I love LG. I think they don't put out a product unless it is one of the best in its field, and that's why I decided to trust them again when I needed an indoor air conditioner. The reviews of various companies all had good reviews, as this did, and it is otherwise hard to choose - so I just chose LG and I'm happy, so far, that I did. I wanted an indoor unit specifically. My concerns with that type of unit were 1) do I have to empty water buildup, 2) efficiency or cooling ability 3) power consumption, specifically, will the cord get hot when on continuously for days... So all three concerns are satisfied, cord/wall stays cool as does the unit, no water buildup or emptying (on cooling mode) to worry about at all, and unit pumps wonderfully freezing air into the room - quickly cooling a 400 ft space, and even supplying cool dry air to a larger space. I am sufficiently impressed. If it never breaks and is always the same trusty unit that it is now, I would consider it perfect. The cons? Well, it is certainly louder than my old energy star window unit. I don't mind white noise at all though for sleeping, and it is not too loud for that. I would like a lower fan speed option, that is quieter, but I doubt other models are any quieter. I believe I read the fan has to run to wick the water buildup away - so a low setting simply might not be possible with an indoor unit of any kind. In any case, it does have a low and high speed. Suggestion: the remote could use an led display light. You pick it up in the night to turn the fan to low, or turn it off - and you can't see squat, start guessing, and hitting all the wrong buttons. So, I just had to learn where each button is, no big deal, but light would be improvement. Overall, it has reliably and impressively cooled my space, sealed off my window perfectly, jumps to life every time I ask it to, and worked perfectly as advertised. Would definitely recommend. Update after two seasons: still going strong, still cooling beautifully. HOWEVER, unbelievably the unit leaked spots on my carpeted floor, partly ruining that section of carpet and leaving a strange rusty stain. I place a baking sheet under the unit to catch the water, and that has been working through season two. This year, there was only a few drips in the pan which evaporated before they had to be sponged. I guess the previous year was particlularly humid, and it needed sponging every few days. Still, the unit was kept on flat out lowest setting for months and did not fail. When I called LG about the leak, I stated the manual says it is supposed to turn itself off when reservoir is full (so it doesn't destroy your carpet right??!!! ) and we wen't round and round in misunderstanding in what seemed to be different languages. I was directly to a website - unbelievably - which demonstrated how to plug a hose (not supplied) into the unit which leads to a drainhole - yeah!!! As if I live in a warehouse with one of those in the bedroom floor! Un. Believable. That said, it is still working great, on it's cake pan, cools perfectly, none of the other 1 star issues I've read about thankfully, and I found an added bonus to indoor units in general: doesn't matter if its 45 degrees outside. If the sun has heated the upstairs all day and you want a blast of cool, you can just blast it on and cool everything down. You can't do that with a window, or central unit as you can't run it below 60 or so, or risk damaging it (and a window compressor with sensor won't even turn on). But this one you can, great stuff. Also, I compared it to central HVAC electric usage, and it seemed to be about even, or even less, so it wasn't out of control in that regard, though it doesn't waste energy heating rooms you don't need.

When we ordered it was sooo hot out but once delivered it had cooled down considerably which was strange weather for Vancouver in July! We had to wait for a hot day and it finally happened....so easy to use the remote. It's very quiet and it cooled us down quickly. This is one of the best things we've purchased and it can get as hot outside as it wants and we'll be comfortable, safe and cool in our home.

It work well nice design but very expensive I found the same thing in the store for the third of the price around $550 they sold it to me on Amazon at $1500 so I would tell you to shop around go to different stores it’s much cheaper screwed big time

VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I ordered this AC unit and was very disappointed with the volume of the unit. Impossible to sleep in a room with it on. It says in the ad that it is 51dbs but the this is completely false advertising as the actual value of the unit is closer to 70 dbs. I got a decibel reader to take actual readings because I couldn’t believe how loud the unit was. I then tried to return the unit and the store would not pay the return shipping fees, even though it did not say anywhere on their website that I would be charged these fees. So I had to pay $114 to return the unit. Then when they received the unit, they only gave me a 50% refund even though it said nowhere on their site that they would only give me a 50% refund . When I contacted them they made reference to some policy that was not posted anywhere so I put in a claim on Amazon‘s A-to-Z guarantee and Amazon refunded me both the return shipping fee and the remaining 50% cost of the unit. Do not buy anything from this seller as their advertisements are misleading and they will take your money and not refund it. Beware!

Great product, received on time as promised. Cool down my 100 sq. ft office quickly, still testing out in my 1st month of operation. However, one down side...noice level is loud despite rating @51 db for quietness.

It is easy to install, it works, but still a bit too noisy for my liking. But for a portable AC, I guess it is as good as it gets. The price point is expensive.
