LG 8000 BTU Smart Portable Air Conditioner 115V 350sq ft (14ft x 25ft) Cooling Home Portable Air Conditioner with Voice Control for ThinQ Amazon Alexa Hey Google

When we ordered it was sooo hot out but once delivered it had cooled down considerably which was strange weather for Vancouver in July! We had to wait for a hot day and it finally happened....so easy to use the remote. It's very quiet and it cooled us down quickly. This is one of the best things we've purchased and it can get as hot outside as it wants and we'll be comfortable, safe and cool in our home.

I was missing the Vent slots to Install on window. I called LG and they were able to send me the missing pieces at no Extra cost. Other than that Air conditioner is Great!!!!! No Issues at all.

It has only 2 speeds, high and low. The noise level on low is tolerable and I'm learning to sleep with it but on high, it's very noisy. It also makes a thunk sound when the compressor cycles. I set it at 70 in my bedroom and it will run for a few minutes, then shut off, then start again, so I'm hearing this thunk sound quite often. It doesn't make the sound when the compressor kicks back in. The phone app and my Alexa network do control it quite nicely but, I've learned to not touch the remote control if I've used them instead. For a while, I was confused and thought the app or Alexa weren't working. I keep the light on the unit turned off, so after making a setting change I'd later go into the bedroom and pick up the remote to visually check what the settings were - as soon as I turn the remote on it would override whatever settings I'd previously made with Alexa, making me believe that neither Alexa nor the app was actually making any change in the settings. I've learned to just leave the remote alone. I suspect others who have complained of the app and Alexa not working properly may have been doing what I was. This was a replacement for another AC of a different brand that I had to return, after that AC made my room smell strongly of mildew. This AC doesn't cool as well as that other one did, I have to run it on high to bring the temp of the room down, but it maintains it ok once there and I set the unit on low. It doesn't make the room smell and having the benefit of using an Echo beside my bed, or anywhere in the house to control it, is an ok trade-off for me. Haven't had it long enough to rate its energy efficiency. Waiting to see how my next electric bill is then will update.

Had to get an AC to tolerate heat this summer & opted for LG after conferring with friend who's worked in HVAC for 7 years. Solid unit. Was heavier than I expected, but does perform well (so far) Was lucky and there was no shipping damage apparent when I got this. Make sure to check the bottom drain and properly seat that rubber plug and gently tighten the screw assembly that snugs it into place before operation. Minor thing I've yet to sort is turning the condenser fan on. I get the ON as it says in the manual but when the appliance is powered off it shuts down instead of hearing a fan run. Will update review should things change or I notice excessive leaks or things negative reviews mention. Update: The 10 minute condenser fan setting comes on if you turn unit off by remote. Doing so on the control panel seems to shut down unit immediately, even with this feature on. It cools below the set point exceedingly well during the daytime; but at night seems to creep up above 70. It also seems to keep the rest of the apartment space from going superhot; despite not being open to the main floor most of the time. So far, I'd recommend this unit based on how solid it's performing. No indicator to empty tank yet; and do wish the access point for that was a bit more reachable. A removable tank would be ideal but I'm not sure if LG's engineers can accomplish such a feat.

I got this as an additional AC unit because my central AC couldn't keep up with the soaring outside summer temperatures summers these days. It was very easy to set up and looks very modern and sleek as well. The actual AC air produced seems very cool and blows out powerfuly. Cools down my apartment well. However the unit is very loud. On the product page it says 49db, but I could not find a way for the AC to function with only 49db (maybe fan only?). When I measured it, the unit was producing 61db on LOW! That's very loud. When on high its even louder. Also when the compressor turns on or off the entire unit shakes and makes a very loud noise. And the app to control it is clunky and sometimes just doesn't work. For example when trying to manually set an up/down vent angle on the app it says "command failed on the product" and doesn't give any more information. However on the same app page you can enable the up/down vent swing and it works correctly. Also the remote and app fight each other and sometimes cancels out your selection. I'd recommend only using 1 of the 2. Also the filter management doesn't work as it resets itself back to 100% sometimes, so I'm not sure when I need to replace the air filter. So in summary, the actual AC functions well and will cool down your apartment nicely. However it is much louder than advertised and the app functions are clunky.
