I'm very satisfied with this unit

I'm very satisfied with this unit. It took about 15 or 20 minutes to set up. It was 118 degrees this past weekend in Arizona and within minutes the room was cooled down to 65 degrees. Occasionally there are random noises coming from inside the unit, the lights on the display are bright as well. Over all this unit works great.

Refurbished unit works great now will follow up later

I decided to buy this unit because I don’t have central air conditioning and was using about four or five fans throughout my entire apartment which didn’t cool down my space when it gets really hot during the summertime. I didn’t want to buy a window unit because they’re too big and heavy for me to install my own & I wanted something that I could move around In my apartment or take with me if I moved and something that was easier to install on my own. This is the refurbished unit and so far it works amazing after installing it today. It cools down the entire apartment better than expected so I’m really happy with it and I’m just hoping it will last over the years and hold up because in some reviews I’ve seen that the portable units can break down easily and after all this is a refurbished unit. I’ll follow up later in the future if anything starts going out on this. I had to watch a few YouTube videos to install this on my own because i never had to done this before. My window panel is vertical. I’m a little skeptical about it in the window I placed it only because the neighbors kids tend to play out side and at times kick a ball into this window but this was the best place for the unit to be placed to get my entire apartment cooler as opposed to just my bedroom. I didn’t have that much trouble figuring out how to do this in my own and am glad I purchased this before the heatwave hits. I posted a few pics of how it looks inside the window and outside once assembled.

LOVE IT!

There were so few reviews of this product I was a bit worried about buying it. Well let me add a glowing review! It has only been a few hours but so far I am just in love with the performance, appearance, quality and the fit and finish of this unit! It is quiet and powerful with no vibrations or rattles (many reviews I read of other similar products had rattles/vibrations). It only took a few minutes to cool down my large living room then the compressor cycled off! I have no problem hearing the TV over it (unlike most window units big enough to cool this space!) The remote is very nice looking as well. What impresses me the most is the window insert-- It is thick and robust providing its own insulation power with the exception of the part where the actual duct hole is. (Photo #1) They also include several extra insert pieces so you can mix and match to get the best fit for your window. Then to top it off the pieces interlock with slots so you get a very tight fit. (photo #2) Now the locking holes are about 1 inch apart so you could have a situation where when you get a tight fit in the window a locking hole wont line up. However, it would be an easy matter to drill a custom hole in the track where you need to get the perfect fit. Now in my case the thickness fit my window track so perfectly I did not even need the locking holes. (photo #3) In fact, it fit so tightly I did not even use the provided foam insulation tape on three sides. I only used the insulation where the window comes down on to the top of the window insert (Photo #4). The duct is also robust and has a locking ring at the AC end and locking tabs on the window side. It is a stiff but flexible duct/ I don’t know the proper term but it clicks when you bend it then stays that way until you bend it again. OH! One thing that I was really concerned about when thinking about buying one of these units was water drainage. With a window unit the water just drips onto the grass. These inside units have a catch tank. Some reviews on some similar products where rife with the horrors of trying to drain the water tank. I have read that in many cases the tank never needs to be drained so I was thinking maybe it is not an issue. However it is VERY humid where I live so I expect to have to do this. So I was relieved to find: 1) The drain is up high, roughly in the middle of the unit on the back side. Very easy access. (some units have a drain at the very bottom and tipping, etc. is required to drain them) 2) The drain has a ‘nipple’ so a hose can easily be attached for draining into an old milk jug or whatever... 3) The hose would be about the diameter of your finger so it would not be big and bulky. So, if it turns out this unit does need to be drained I plan to run up to Home Depot and get some hose to fit then drill a hole in the window insert so I can just put the hose out the window with the hot air! In fact, the only con I can think of to this whole unit is it would have been nice of them to provide that drain hose and pre-punch the hole for it in the window insert. On the other hand I may not need to drain it? I will update this review on if I do or if anything about my opinion changes. Now, as I was writing this review I got cold and had to set the thermostat up some! THAT IS SO AWESOME! UPDATE -- One month later and I have never had to drain water from the unit and I still love it. So adding the drain hose this is totally unnecessary!

I liked the board I used so much that I did ...

I received this and went to install it when I realized that LG gave me 50 inches of material and my window is 59 inches. No problem though, I got a 1" by 8" by 6' and cut it to fit. I cut an oval hole in it, painted it and installed the air conditioner. I liked the board I used so much that I did the same to another LG portable A/C that I use in my bedroom. I made it so that the exhaust hose was still inside the screen and the board that I used is much more secure than the flimsy plastic material supplied. I just used the oval cut-out section to attach to the inside of the board to attach the hose. (see photos)

Well worth the $$!!

** Just in case you don't know, ALWAYS keep the unit standing upright. Like a refrigerator, tilting it sideways will get the coolant in places it shouldn't be. So I heard. ** Drawbacks (which are minimal and almost not worth mentioning): Internal water tank (though it may be my fault) filled up pretty quickly the first night I had it though it was alot more humid than normal. The tank was full after about 4-6 hours. Had to drag the whole unit upstairs into the backyard to drain it, THOUGH I didn't have the room door closed and it drew air from upstairs essential trying to cool the whole house. Since then, it's been going for maybe 2 months now and haven't had to empty it since. You can also just hook up a hose and have it drain as it collects. 5/8's inch is the outside diameter of the hose you need (so the instruction manual says). Haven't done that yet and haven't really needed to. The only (SMALL) thing is that you have to make sure the remote can see the sensor on the unit. Your remote may say it's at 72 but the unit may be at 73, and vice versa. Though you will hear it beep when it actually reads the remote and it will correct the temp to whatever is on the remote. Also (good/bad... You decide), the fan is always on. Not sure if it's a setting or not, but whether the compressor is on or not, the fan stays on. About as loud as a box fan, maybe a hair quieter. An AC fan in a home just comes on when AC cools. Once again, it may just be a setting. ** Anyway, all the good things: - This thing blows. :) 2 speeds for the fan. - It has casters, so it rolls. - Adjustable fins on top that will automatically adjust from sideways to nearly strait upwards, depending on fan speed. - Set this thing at 71 or 70 in a 200 sq ft room, and you WILL need a blanket. - It comes with the collapsible hose (maybe 5-6 feet of it with all the adapters to fit your window. - You don't need any tools to set it up. - Remote comes with batteries. - In case you have to pick it up, there ARE handle indentations on the sides (like a cardboard box would have). - Unit draws (according to box/manual) i.8 amps. I haven't verified this with my ammeter, but i'm guessing it only draws that much when the compressor starts. - The 120v plug has a built in GFCI, so need to buy your own. You can put in a 5/8's OD hose and insert it into one of the two drains to drain automatically. There are 2 drain plugs and when I emptied it, most of the condensation came out of the bottom one. Maybe a tenth of what came out of the bottom came out of the top one. Well worth the $$!!

Cools effectively

Bought this to cool our master bedroom which is much hotter than the rest of the house. It does a great job of making the room nice and cool and much easier to sleep in. I'm used to having fans on while sleeping so the noise from the air conditioner is not bothersome. Would recommend to anybody looking to cool down a good-sized room.

These units do a great job cooling the air

I am using these a temporary ac units in the back of 3 of my fast food restaurants. We decorate ice cream cakes in those areas and if it is too warm, the cakes start to melt. These units do a great job cooling the air. I installed them a 6 inch insulated hose that works way better than the provided white 6' hose. I also installed a 6" dryer vent and am venting the line outside. It is amazing how much heat these things reject. They are doing exactly what I was hoping they would do. - If you do use the provided hose, be sure to secure it to the back of the unit with some type of tape. Hot air escapes where the hose is and this make the unit very inefficient. A bad hose connection design, but it can be remedied fairly easily. Good unit overall. I currently have three units in 3 separate locations. I have had them now for more than a month and they have been used non-stop. I will let you know if anything comes up with them.

This AC unit did not fail to impress me. ...

This AC unit did not fail to impress me. I do not regret buying it! It cools my room fairly fast and I can fall asleep to the noise. Thank god I have it for the summer!

Easy to install and works fantastic

I live in an older house so window units are what I usually have to work with - unfortunately every so often the insides get dirty and it always became a hassle to put in/take out and clean that one day I 'accidentally' dropped it out of the window and used that as an excuse to splurge on this. I purchased during peak summer and still got a good deal however I imagine its cheaper in the winter. I have carpet in my bedroom and haven't had any leaking problems as others have mentioned, this is powerful that I only use it on low fan and turned all the way down - it works amazingly. For a whole house I'm not sure how it would work, I think if we used a 1,000 sqft house you would want 2 of them on each end with fans to blow the air around but for a living room/bedroom solely it works great. I've seen other people mention a loud noise and I have not had anything out of the ordinary compared to a window unit, in fact I think its quieter than a window unit. I would recommend anybody considering this to get it.

This is a good AC unit.

I think that after reading the reviews of this machine that a lot of people don't understand how this works. The leaking and lack of cooling is likely due to improper settings. If I would say anything bad about it I would say that it is quite complex as far as turning off and on the features that need to be done so. I know that when I first started it up I had to go back and re-read the instructions and fully understand how it works. I have had this for a year and it worked like a charm last year and I just installed it for the season this year. Put the vent in the window, plugged it in and, voila! it works just as well as it did last year. We will have 90 plus here for the next few days and even with all of our shade it still gets hot in here especially at night. Also, it cools way more square footage than the manufacturer claims. Anyway, it's relatively quiet and it doesn't cost all that much to run. While I haven't done an energy audit, I can say that my electric bill has been consistent and I see no spikes that would bother or alarm me. I turned it on less than an hour ago and just heard the compressor cycle off in a 400 sf room. Not bad if you ask me. Oh, wait. I just remembered that I had to tighten some screws in the squirrel cage shortly after I bought it and started it running. To me it was no big deal but I can see it being a major problem for some. Still, I give it 5 stars.
