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 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.

This has worked for open my living room kitchen area really well for 2 years and is not an eye sore or overly loud. Very easy installation anyone can just put it together with the included items plug it in and use. The included sliding window insert was easy to install. Reliably and keeps a roughly 700 square feet open space livable in north California summers on days we get temperatures in 80s and higher. (I must add I only use it for a few weeks a year moderately because the summers can be cooler here but that why we didn’t install HVaC.) It has options for just fan, cooling or humidity they switch very easily and I use the fan only a lot after the home is cooled down. The noise level is moderate for how fast it cools the home it’s definitely acceptable. If your situation is similar and only need occasional cooling or for smaller areas this is a reliable choice.

Stopped working after 1 year. Only blows room temperature air. Did all the troubleshooting steps. Drained, cleaned filter, etc.

I recently purchased the LG 7,000 BTU air conditioner, and I must say it has been a game-changer in cooling off my room during hot summer days. This unit packs a punch when it comes to cooling efficiency, quickly transforming the room into a comfortable oasis. I was pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness, especially considering its compact size. One of the standout features of this air conditioner is the included remote control. It allows me to conveniently adjust the temperature, fan speed, and mode from across the room, without having to get up and manually interact with the unit. This feature adds a level of convenience and comfort to my experience, making it easy to customize the settings to my liking. While the air conditioner's performance and remote control have impressed me, it's worth noting that the unit is a bit bulky in size. However, the built-in wheels have been a saving grace, making it surprisingly easy to move the air conditioner from one room to another. This mobility feature adds a level of versatility, allowing me to cool different areas of my home without the need for multiple units. Considering its cooling effectiveness and the convenience of the remote control, I believe the price of the LG 7,000 BTU air conditioner reflects its power and quality well. Despite its bulky size, the mobility provided by the built-in wheels compensates for this drawback. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient air conditioning solution. In conclusion, the LG 7,000 BTU air conditioner delivers excellent cooling performance, effectively transforming any room into a comfortable space. The included remote control adds convenience and ease of use, allowing for effortless adjustments from a distance. While the unit may be bulky, the built-in wheels make it easy to maneuver. Considering its cooling power and price point, this air conditioner is a worthwhile investment for those seeking reliable and efficient cooling for their living space.

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.

Seattle heat is only a few weeks out of the year, but, a lot of homes prior to the early 90’s don’t have AC. I bought two of these and we’re on our second season with them and they’re working great. I empty condensation everyday, but, haven’t had any of the leaking issues or room temp air other people have complained about. I’m a fan. No pun intended. Ha.

Highly recommended.

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.
