Introduction
During the hot summers, having a powerful and efficient air conditioning system can make a big difference in comfort. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford or fit a large window unit. That’s why I was attracted to LG’s 6,000 BTU (DOE) / 8,000 BTU (ASHRAE) Portable Air Conditioner. I needed a way to keep my medium-sized home cool and comfortable without having to spend a fortune. After months of use, I’m pleased to say that I’m satisfied with this product and would recommend it to others looking for a reliable cooling system.
Things to consider before buying a portable air conditioner
Portable air conditioners are a great choice for those unable to fit large window units in their home or for those who need extra cooling help in a specific room. It’s important to remember, however, that these units are not meant for those with large rooms that need a powerful, dedicated cooling system. When looking for a portable unit, you should also consider the amount of noise they produce. While LG’s 6,000 BTU product is not whisper-quiet, it is not deafening either. Additionally, portable ACs may need occasional maintenance, like filter cleaning.
Presenting the product
LG’s 6,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a great choice for cooling medium-sized rooms up to 250 sq. ft., and in my case, it definitely met my needs. It comes with 2 cooling and fan speeds as well as a 24 hour timer to create a cooling schedule. Additionally, it has an auto-swing air vent that helps direct the flow of air where it’s most needed. If there is a power outage, the auto restart feature comes in handy. It’s also easy to move from one location to another thanks to the easy rolling casters. Lastly, the product comes with an LCD remote control, easy window venting installation kit, removable/washable filter, and a check filter alert.
Features & Benefits
LCD Remote Control
The LCD remote control makes it easy to control the unit from anywhere in the room. You can easily adjust the temperature and fan speed, turn the unit on or off, set a timer, and more. This makes it much easier to keep the room comfortable without having to constantly adjust the unit.
24 Hour Timer
The 24-hour timer allows you to set a cooling schedule so that the unit runs at the most efficient times. This can significantly reduce your energy costs while making sure the room is always comfortable.
Easy Rolling Casters
The easy rolling casters make it easy to move the unit from one location to the other. This means you can easily move the unit from your bedroom to the living room when needed.
Auto-Swing Air Vent
This feature is great for ensuring even cooling throughout the room. It helps direct the flow of air where it’s most needed, ensuring that the room is always comfortable.
Removable/Washable Filter
The unit comes with a removable and washable filter, which ensures that the air within the room stays clean. This makes it easier to keep the room clean and comfortable.
Social Proof
I searched online for reviews and couldn’t believe the positive feedback this product has received. One user said that even though there is a level of noise when the unit is running, it cools very well and is absolutely worth the money. He also suggested getting the warranty just in case. Another user said that the setup was a bit involved, but it was worth the effort, and he has been pleased with how well the unit is able to cool his room.
