Consumer Evaluations

I have no windows that can use a window A/C unit. I purchased 2 of these when my central A/C was broken. This unit cools a 400 sq foot room as advertised. It is hassle-free to install. It is, even so, incredibly loud on the high fan setting. One of the units kept turning off, this happens when the water tray at the bottom fills up. The only difference in the installation was that the vent hose was completely extended on the 1 that was turning off. I moved it closer to the window and collapsed the length of the hose and it stopped condensing as a lot water and stopped shutting off. When you do need to have to empty the water it is very awkward, you have to unscrew the cap at the bottom and then take away the rubber plug (the plug component isn't described in the manual, at initially I wondered why no water was coming out right after I unscrewed the cap). The plug is close to the ground so if you can not move the entire unit outdoors to empty on the ground you need to find a huge low pan to collect the water. Tipping the unit will lead to water to spill over the vents in the back when it is full.

I bought this to supplement my central ac unit. I live in south Georgia exactly where summer temps reach 105+ with 100% humidity. My central AC unit can only get my home down to 78 to 82 in some regions of my home when it is 105 outside. I 1st bought the 9,000 BTU LG portable unit to cool my living space. I will say the window vent assembly is a bit on the affordable side. You will want to purchase some rolls of sticky insulation to aid superior insulate the total package. Also Pro Tip: get some white duct tape to water proof the outside places of the venting assembly. Do not forget to purchase a wood rod to secure your window from burglary. Okay on to the meat and potatos. Considering that I bought the unit from my nearby Household Depot I did not have to set the unit up correct for twenty four hours to permit the coolant to settle. If you got it shipped set the unit up correct for at least 24 hours just before making use of to let the coolant settle. I got this unit out the door for $269 plus tax. Pro Tip: go to you nearby post workplace and ask the postal clerk for a transform of address packet. In the packet is a 10% off Lowes coupon. Household Depot honors them. So save $30.00+ on your acquire. Now it took me 20 minutes to get the unit installed. Make sure you tighten the water release knob! Mine was loose and last point you want is water leaking on your floor. No fault of LG right here. Right after hooking this unit up it cooled my living room down to 70 degrees on a 105 degree day (did have central air operating as well, but it would have been 79 in that room with out). I have had the unit for a month and have yet to empty any water from it. We have 100% humidity year round right here. A week later we bought the LG 11,000 portable AC unit. Way cooler unit! It is great we put the 11,000 in the living room and the 9,000 in the bedroom. Absolutely nothing like 65 degrees in my bedroom when I sleep. The 9,000 BTU unit rocks! It also did not hurt my electricity bill.
