8,000 BTU (DOE) 12,000 BTU (ASHRAE) Smart Portable Air Conditioner, 115V, Cools 350 Sq.Ft. (14' x 25' Room Size), Voice Control, Works with LG ThinQ, Amazon Alexa, and Hey Google

This unit puts out a good amount of cool air and can maintain a fairly large area. While a bit loud on high settings, its perfectly reasonable for what it is. Drain line not needed for my climate, but it has all the typical hookups ready if you know you will need to drain water in your climate.

Bought this last summer as a just in case should our central air not be able to keep up with the heat, and our central air died this week and boy was I glad to have this. Out HOA doesn't allow windows units, and this was a well reviewed portable unit. Set it up in about 10 minutes following the clear instructions. They included everything I needed including some insulation strips. Only thing missing was some no residue duct tape to give an extra good seal around the window, but I had some lying around. The unit works great blowing out cold air fast and using the louvers to spread it around. The fan is loud, but certainly no louder than any other portable unit. It kept the bedroom a comfortable temperature even on the hottest of days, and downright chilly at night, just how I like it. I had to use a heavier blanket! While the product overall is great, I think LG could've included an insulated hose sleeve and cut to fit insulation for the window mount, maybe repurposong some of the packing materials for it. These are the two biggest sources of heat getting into a room using this, and that might have helped the unit cool the room down faster using less power. The smartphone app was so easy to use I didn't even touch the included remote control.

Had to get an AC to tolerate heat this summer & opted for LG after conferring with friend who's worked in HVAC for 7 years. Solid unit. Was heavier than I expected, but does perform well (so far) Was lucky and there was no shipping damage apparent when I got this. Make sure to check the bottom drain and properly seat that rubber plug and gently tighten the screw assembly that snugs it into place before operation. Minor thing I've yet to sort is turning the condenser fan on. I get the ON as it says in the manual but when the appliance is powered off it shuts down instead of hearing a fan run. Will update review should things change or I notice excessive leaks or things negative reviews mention. Update: The 10 minute condenser fan setting comes on if you turn unit off by remote. Doing so on the control panel seems to shut down unit immediately, even with this feature on. It cools below the set point exceedingly well during the daytime; but at night seems to creep up above 70. It also seems to keep the rest of the apartment space from going superhot; despite not being open to the main floor most of the time. So far, I'd recommend this unit based on how solid it's performing. No indicator to empty tank yet; and do wish the access point for that was a bit more reachable. A removable tank would be ideal but I'm not sure if LG's engineers can accomplish such a feat.

I bought this product as a shot in the dark . The LG air conditioner said it cooled 450 sq feet . I would say 450 sq ft was LG being very conservative . I have this unit in my sons room in an upstairs townhome of which the Central air system installed in this town home was not doing the job cooling the upstairs . This LG AC unit is working amazing cooling the entire upstairs of a 2600 sq ft town home . I would recommend this product hands down @ $650 , the best money spent ! Thank you LG!

My room is super small like less than 150 sq ft. But I bought the 8000 BTU model of this cuz my room is upstairs, lacks insulation, and I live in a very hot state that goes up 120 degrees in its worst summer. Even this winter, it went up 92! It shipped fine. No signs of being dropped or man handled of by incompetent prime drivers. When I installed it, it cooled the room significantly. However it was way louder than the previous LG portable ac that broke which was an older model. I used a DB meter app, and it measured that the ac was making 60 db with the compressor kicked in... wtf. Way above the advertised db. So false advertising. Apparently these models are still using outdated compressors that are dodgy when it comes to noise. If you want portable ac's that are way quieter, look into the ones with inverters! Not these products or compressor versions. For 400 dollars, this is just unacceptable. But if you really need to get this cuz of price or sales whatever, invest in some sleeping ear muffs...

June 22, 2023 this unit was shipped to our home and it worked just fine cooling our upstairs bedroom in a log cabin until we put it away for the season in October. Fast forward to this season..Here it is May 21, 2024 and we installed it again and nada. All it does is blow air. Not a drop of cooling in this thing. No codes..no problem with air flow..filters are clean. It is just a giant expensive fan now after having been used for a whopping 4 months. ..unfortunately this is the new normal for these free standing portable AC units. Last year we had a Toshiba unit which didn’t even work out of the box! Two other units we have had previously only worked one season as well.. It is very frustrating…do NOT believe all the high ratings because a lot of these are failing and folks just do not come back and report it…

Ran it for a few hours after arrival. Blows cold, strong fan.

One of the only complaints I guess I could make is that water can drip out if you carry it at an angle. I don’t know if it’s designed not to, but other than that, it’s served me well this past 2 years. I wish I had bought the version with the heater too, but that’s not the device that I purchased’s fault. The only annoying thing is when I switched internet, the device would sometimes disconnect and would need to be reconnected to the WiFi. I haven’t had this issue in a few months, but it was really annoying, since I use the app to control it. I guess the cord could be a little longer and it is a bit loud, but hey, it cools the room.

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
