[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it though it is a little bulky, Not as cold as the last LG I had ! Wish it would show the temperature at the beginning of being turned on. And the on/off button glowed in the dark .
we just bought this & it was delivered at the end of July. My husband is a contractor so he has lots of experience but we read & watched a YouTube video by LG on how to set it up. I read the manual carefully and made sure to operate it as specified. Everything has been great until 2 days ago. While watching tv, suddenly, it started to make loud noises (like something scraping across the ground). I jumped up and went over to check it. It sounds like its coming from the vents! I turned it off knowing I had set up the 10 minute shut down (for condensation removal) and it continued making noise until itwent off. When I restarted it the next day, it started making noise again so I switched the venting (through the great APP) from oscillating to being stationary and the noise went away! But when I shut it down this morning, it was making the noise for 10 minutes. I did use the app for help but they did not list this noise.
I have purchased over the years about 10 of these. Have 4 in use currently. Although not as efficient as a window unit, the setup takes just a few minutes and can still have access to window on days that don't need ac. On average I get about 3 years on a unit then in every instance it leaks refrigerant. Where as with window units have gotten on average 5 years. I am willing to put up with high overall cost of replacement for the convenience. Just wish would make the units little more robust so could get equivalent life to a window unit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this portable after our central air went out in Texas during this INTENSE 100 degree heat and its been WONDERFUL cooling our room, The air is SO COLD and I LOVE IT. Im going to get a 2nd LG portable for my bedroom.

Excited to have this unit to cool my large living room. Worked well initially. Stored it appropriately then turned on this summer and no cooling. Warranty expired. No service available where I live. Unreliable expensive purchase and would not recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The air conditioner has all the benefits including wifi and portable. The only weak point is the remote control to reach the many benefits is too minimal design. I highly recommend this product to help keep you cool/warm.

Stopped cooling
on June 7, 2024

the first two years the ac was working great, after it just stop blowing cool air and the fan runs. Since the day I got it I cleaned the filter every two weeks or when the red light would turn on. I don’t understand why it stopped cooling. This is so frustrating bc it’s a very expensive unit and I thought it was going to last for years.
