LG 7000 BTU (DOE) / (10500 ASHRAE) Portable Air Conditioners Cools 300 Sqft Easy Install & Remote Control LCD Display Eco-friendly Small Room Air Conditioner AC Unit Cool Home White LP0723WSR

I bought this in June of 2023 and it's held up so far. It has worked great against a couple seasons of those 100+ degrees Fahrenheit summer temperatures.My only complaint is that my unit sometimes rattles on the low fan setting. I don't why but it seems to stop when I press hard against the front right panel.It does require some maintenance to keep it cool. I clean my filters about every 2 months and it's still blowing ice cold.I like having this on at night when I sleep near me on low when it doesn't rattle. It makes kind of a white noise for me not hearing birds chirping, but just the fan blowing.LG ThinQ app works great for my LG ecosystem with my fridge and also TV with this.

The piping for my central air developed a leak and I can't bear dealing with torn up walls to replace the piping. SIL recommended this unit based on a recommendation he heard. I was skeptical but purchased. I am surprised by how well it keeps my smallish upper-condominium cool during our California summers.

We rarely give bad reviews, but the circumstances associated with this purchase have left us no alternative.We installed a new hardwood floor in our daughter’s bedroom and wanted to use a portable AC unit to cool the space.We bought a new LG 10000-BTU Inverter Portable Air Conditioner unit that is designed to shut itself off if there is a potential for leakage. The unit was installed in the bedroom and ran trouble free for several months. It was not moved from that location during this period of time.We then noticed water leakage on the new hardwood floor under the portable AC unit and immediately performed routine maintenance on the unit (cleaned filters and emptied the water collection tank). The leakage was substantial enough to cause permanent damage to the floor.To prevent further damage to the new floor we bought a drip tray to put under the unit and a leak detection system to let us know if it does leak.We then called LG Customer Service to determine why the portable AC unit did not shut itself off before leaking on the new wood flooring. After over 45 minutes of discussion, they agreed to schedule a service call by D.G. Appliance Service.A technician from D.G. Appliance Service arrived and discovered that the unit had a cracked water collection tank. He stated that he had performed repairs of cracked water collection tanks in the past but did not have the resources (helpers) to repair it now. He left without fixing the unit and reported that the unit had "Physical Damage" to his supervisor. He advised us to contact LG Customer Service to resolve the issue.We contacted LG Customer Service on the same day and were told that the warrantee did not apply since there was "Physical Damage" to the unit.We disputed the finding because the unit clearly had this damage upon arrival, and we reported it within the one-year warranty period.It took several months for the defect to manifest itself for several reasons:First, the LG technical support documentation is very explicit in their warnings that the unit is never to be laid on its side (or back) and should be kept in an upright position at all times - Otherwise, you risk damaging the cooling system. In order to have detected this damage upon shipment we would have had to lay the unit on its side to be able to visually inspect the water collection tank located at the bottom. This is exactly what the technician did to determine that the water collection tank was cracked. We had to help him support the unit in a horizontal position while he inspected the bottom of the unit with a flashlight.Second, for the first few months that the unit was operating the weather was fairly mild, and the unit was able to evaporate the condensation as it ran without having a buildup in the water collection tank. The heatwaves that started in mid-summer precipitated the condensation buildup in the unit's water collection system and led to the leakage through the cracked water collection tank.Since the unit was never moved from its initial installation location there was never an opportunity to damage the water collection tank except for in shipping or manufacturing.We were forced into buying an identical LG AC unit to replace the first leaky one since the permanent venting that we installed in our daughter’s bedroom made switching to a different brand difficult. Upon plugging the replacement unit into our wall socket the circuit breaker in our main panel tripped. No amount of re-setting the circuit breaker would cure the situation and we were forced to pay an electrician to trouble shoot and replace the circuit breaker. We immediately returned the replacement unit and received a third identical LG AC unit that appears to be working.We have contacted at least a dozen LG authorized and non-authorized repair centers to fix the first leaky unit but none of them will repair a portable AC unit. So we have this POS sitting in our garage waiting to get recycled…

Works great. Use it every night for A/C. It is noisy, but I’d rather be comfortable while sleeping.

This paragraph is my summary. I'm comparing this unit against another LG in-window unit. Both units are great at cooling a room. This portable unit lacks features that the in-window unit has. This is why my Overall rating is 4/5 stars. At this price point, I'd like to see this unit gain the "Energy saver" mode and full scheduling features that the LG in-window unit has has.My room measures 18 x 20 feet.First some power measurements...LP1022FVSM in Off/Standby mode: 3.70 - 4.85 wattsPower draw Fan Modes:Fan only, lowest setting: 15.2 wattsFan only, medium setting: 20.0 wattsFan only, highest setting: 33.6 wattsUp/Down swing: (Closed position reduces the wattage of the above settings. For instance Low was at 10.3 watts closed, and 15.2 watts full open.)Power draw in Air Conditioning mode:Min: 15 watts -AC compressor turns off when the room temp (72F) is below the setpoint (74F).Max: 1,109 wattsMaintaining current room temp of 72F, outdoor temp 80F: 299 watts averageSound results: (non-scientific, measured at 3 feet from unit with a phone app)AC low speed: 42-47 dB at 186 hzAC high speed: 53-58 dB at 160 hzNote on sound, the fan turbulence is the greatest source. The compressor makes a quiet purring sound.I own an LG LW1222IVSM 1,2k BTU in-window unit and this LG LP1022FVSM 1,0k portable unit.I purchased this portable unit to replace an older, but still working, Whynter ARC-122DS. I found this LG LP1022FVSM to be superior in every way to my old portable AC unit. It cools quicker and does so at a lower sound level. Drawing less energy and running quieter. LG appears to have spent a lot of time hushing the motor noise. They did a very good job.The software/app allows me to schedule when to turn the unit on and off. I'd like to see the software features expand to include scheduling temperature setting and fan speed. This unit does not offer an automatic mode balancing the fan speed and cooling capacity.
