Portable LG Air Conditioner
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the portable LG air conditioner, and it has exceeded my expectations in several key areas. Performance - First and foremost, the cooling efficiency is impressive. It quickly lowers the temperature in my living space, even on the hottest days. The adjustable fan speeds allow for customized comfort, and I've found that it can cool a room much faster than other units I've used in the past. Noise Level - One of the standout features of this model is how quiet it operates. Unlike many portable air conditioners that sound like a jet engine, the LG unit runs at a pleasantly low noise level. I can easily hold conversations or watch TV without needing to crank up the volume. This is a game-changer for anyone who values peace and quiet in their home environment. Energy Efficiency - Another significant advantage is its energy consumption. This LG air conditioner uses considerably less electricity compared to other units I've owned. I've noticed a difference in my energy bills since I started using it, which is a relief during peak summer months. The eco-friendly mode is also a great feature, allowing me to save even more energy while still enjoying a comfortable indoor climate. Portability - As a portable unit, it’s easy to move from room to room. The wheels glide smoothly, making it simple to transport between spaces as needed. The setup was straightforward, and I appreciated the included window installation kit. Design - Aesthetically, the LG air conditioner is sleek and modern, fitting well with my home decor. It doesn’t feel bulky or out of place, which is often a concern with portable units. Overall, the portable LG air conditioner is an excellent investment for anyone looking to beat the heat without compromising on comfort or energy efficiency. Its quiet operation and lower energy consumption make it stand out in a crowded market. If you're in need of a reliable cooling solution that won’t break the bank on your energy bill, I highly recommend this unit!

Impressed after first use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

As powerful, efficient and quiet as claimed
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We wanted a larger, quieter air conditioner and were put off by weight of a larger window unit. The LG LP1419IVSM is as powerful, efficient and quiet as it is claimed to be. The WiFi connectivity comes in handy when you are away too. It’s no wonder why this unit sells out so quickly. Thanks LG!

The Unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give this 5 stars but I’m not because solely of the fact that this unit didn’t come with all the parts it said it was supposed to come with. It wasn’t a problem only because the part they failed to send was the adhesive short foam weather seal tape. I made do with some stuff I already had. But with that being said this into works flawlessly. It was easy to set up almost to easy. It definitely gets the job done for our main living room. To be honest the machine isn’t that loud which is nice considering how big it is.

Just what I wanted
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit is quieter than I was expecting. The window vent is small enough that you can still look outside. There has not been a really hot day yet, but the few times we have used it it has performed well. The app allows access to some useful features that will come in handy during the summer.

False advertising on Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The AC works well, but the box says its for 450 sqft. Best Buy has listed that this item can cover 500 sqft multile times. They need to update the listing because it’s false adveristing!

Great Portable Air Conditioner--Eay to Install in
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The LG DUAL Inverter 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner (LP1419IVSM) does a great cooling job. I am using it to cool around 950 sq ft. The weather has been in the mid-90's and very humid but the air conditioner has kept the space in my two-story townhome comfortable. I use a high-velocity fan to direct cool air down the stairs to the first floor. i discovered that i could use a piece of foam insulation board in place or the window screen. For an easy vent solution, cut out a hole in the foam board and tape the hose in place over the hole using duct and gorilla tape. See the attached photos.

Good unit / bad delivery handling
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Severely Damaged in Shipping … TWICE (so far)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredibly frustrating. The AC unit is clearly not packed well enough for shipping. The first unit i received, the condensation basin was severely cracked similar to what can be seen in other reviewers’ photos. I had to package this stupid heavy unit back into its damaged box and tote it back to Best Buy where they received my return and ordered a replacement. Days later, the replacement arrives and guess what … the condensation basin is severely cracked again! Its getting hot where I live and I need an AC unit. I can’t live in this loop of receiving damaged AC units and returning them forever. Who even cares if its a good unit if it doesnt survive shipping!

Do Not Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this product. Customer service is so awful that it taints my experience with the product. Like several others have said, I received a unit in a completely destroyed box, and it was cracked. I couldn't transport the unit to get a new one because I couldn't lift the 70 pound broken unit. I was forced to buy a box and pay for a pickup from UPS because Best Buy would not pick up the unit. A customer service rep promised that I could be reimbursed the $50 it took to send it back. They lied and now I won't get my money back. Unacceptable.

Repackaged unit sold as NEW
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't even tell if this AC works or not because I received a repackaged unit that was dirty, damaged by FedEx, and missing the remote. We had some challenges immediately after delivery and it wasn't opened right away. When we did open it, I contacted customer service right away but they only said I was past the 15 day return period and refused to do anything. Apparently Best Buy is unaware that in the state of Georgia, BY LAW they have to honor returns for 30 days. I've never had an issue with BB before, but I will be hesitant to make larger purchases in the future.

It's absolutely not okay that they told you that you were past the 15-day return period and refused to help. I can assure you that we take this situation very seriously and will be looking into it further.

Bad QC - Leak In Condensation Basin Ruined Floors
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received unit that was cracked on bottom and leaking. Opened it up to track down the leak after stepping in a puddle in the corner of my room and found that there were several screws just rattling around inside the unit as several broken pieces of plastic. The leak ruined about 50-100 sq ft of flooring too. So frustrating. No damage to the box or packaging that I could tell, so the crack on the underside condensation basin must have happened at the factory. Super frustrating. Sadly the leak was so slow that of course I didn't notice until after return window had closed. Just wish I could swap it out for one that isn't damaged. Never would have crossed my mind to flip it over to examine the bottom. Now I have to replace carpets and several hundred dollars of flooring.
