LG - 450 Sq. Ft. Smart Portable Air Conditioner - White

Pretty impressed after first use. Purchased two of these to cool my 1200 sq ft 2 bedroom apartment. I usually use an LG 4000 BTU window unit in the living room and block off the room only keeping the one cool. This year we are expecting a baby boy and wanted to keep the whole house cool for the summer for my wife, the babe, and our 2 labs. Not a fan of hanging giant 10000 but units out 2nd floor windows. These are very convenient, easy to set up and work great. First use I brought all 1200 sq ft from 73 and very humid to 68 and no humidity in about 40 minutes. Usually portables are on the loud side, but these are very quiet. Maybe even quieter than my LG window unit. Also easy to pop out of the window if you want to open them up on a breezy day. Which we do often with AC units. I can’t speak to the longevity, but very happy after first use. Portables are not as efficient as window units, but if you have a specific use case or want to cool large areas without hanging large ac units dangerously out the window, I highly suggest these. The ThinQ tech that allows you to remotely control the unit over WiFi is a must for me with being able to control it while my dogs are home alone on the heat of summer. It works flawlessly as it does on my LG window unit as well. Be aware that when connecting it to your WiFi, I find the most success doing it “manually” (you will see what I mean in the app). When connecting to a hidden network it WILL fail the first time, do it a second time and it will work (not sure why this is the case, but have noticed Travis with all LG ThinQ technology.

This portable ac works very well. If you start with an already hot room it takes half hour to an hour to really get it cool. Of course how big the room is. Once cool it keeps the area cooler. I bought this though for the Wi-Fi so I could turn it on at work and by the time I get home it’s cooler. I have to say that so far and I’ve used it a few times that it worked great.

Not sure how to review this, my unit was delivered yesterday and because it was hot I was anxious to open it and set it up. Immediately I noticed that the box the unit came in was dented and looked like it was thrown around a couple of times. Nonetheless I took the ac unit out of the box and everything looked good. I read the instructions and set everything up and when it came to plugging the unit in I noticed that the power plug was bent and broken. I immediately called LG and reported the problem and while doing so I decided to put the bottom part of the plug inside the hole and then inserted to the power outlet. To my surprise it worked and the ac seems to be working great. The LG agent advised that they had noted it in case of any issues but ultimately advised to contact Best Buy about the issue. At this point i already have it set up and and don’t wanna go thru the hassle of exchanging / returning it especially with the hot days coming up.
