Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the product's strong cooling performance, noting that its noise level is reasonable for the cooling it provides.

On the downside, some customers have expressed concerns about the unit's weight and the length of its hose. Additionally, a few reports mention issues with the product's condition upon arrival, the remote control, or discrepancies in advertised size.

    Ok ac unit when it works

    This AC unit looks good and is decently quiet. It seems to do an ok job cooling but it cannot keep my 500 square foot attic office below 85 +degrees on 90-95 degree days. The WiFi performance is quirky, working, not working, and working again. The time scheduler function in the app doesn’t seem to work. I can only schedule when it comes on OR turns off based on x hours from when I am trying (not times, just elapsed time) but not both. And now, two months after purchasing it will no longer turn on. I have been waiting for a week for Lg to be able to schedule service. I am now very much regretting this purchase. Ps and the first unit delivered was damaged so I had to brave returning during COVID shutdown. Save $200 and buy another model. This isn’t worth the price.

    Good a/c better than any other LG I’ve purchased. Its look is as good as anything I’ve purchased from anyone else. The inverter tech makes a difference. The exhaust hose design on this model is better that the cheaper ones because it goes straight up and out rather than just straight out the back. Streamlined and worth the cost.

    Arrived a couple days sooner than expected. Packaging was horrible. The bottom of the box had already been cut all the way around it as if it had already been opened. I had to turn the unit on it's side to be able to get in the door and up the stairs, or it would have fallen out. I have had the unit a month and I will honestly say my cheaper $300 unit cooled my room better than this more expensive one. Truly disappointed.

    We used this AC unit for 2-3 weeks before returning it. Honestly, it did not cool down our 500sq foot room as well as we'd hoped. It's also pretty loud as well. We ended up swapping it for an LG in wall unit that's working much better than a this portable unit did. However, I did like the wifi options, it was a nice touch.

    DO NOT BUY FROM BESTBUY

    First - false advertisement. I received 10,000 BTU. I was afraid that I'd received defective item as some reviewers had experienced. Perhaps it was during the delivery period for becoming damaged. I wasn't aware that I had less than 30 days to request a refund or return the item. I ordered the item 5/24. I didn't set it up immediately because it wasn't hot yet. I finally set it up a week ago because I wanted to make sure I was under 30 days for return if it was malfunctioning. It's not working the way it should. AC cool air isn't cold enough - it feels like a fan. I had it on for 45mins, it wasn't hot day. My room was under 75 degrees. It didn't cool the room nor the close approximity cold. Also, it wasn't quiet. I could hear buzzing/rattling. Upon contacting Geek Squad since I purchased it, they told me to contact the manufacturer to diagnose the problem. LG is sending a technician. After thinking about it, I don't want them to "fix" it, I want it to be replaced with a new one that works since I received a broken item. Best Buy is telling me I missed the return period and they can't replace it with a new one. Customer service wasn't good. Incompetent. As said, Geek Squad didn't want to check what they could do to resolve the issue even though I have coverage. Don't buy it from here. Hopefully, LG will replace it with a new one if they have a diagnosis rather than "fixing" it.
