LG 10000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review

[@animatedarliss]

I’ll note that this cools a 120 sqft room pretty well. On the really hot days it doesn’t work as well, but it always provides a good deal of cooling.

at least you're honest about it. on hot days it's doesn't work as well. i respect it. thankfully its gonna be blowing on my face so ima stay cool all day.

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

*Solid, **Fastly.Cool** and gets the job done. For rooms where window-mounted air conditioning is not an option, this works very well. Easy set up, rapid cooling, and great design.*

[@aqilbintory4958]

Key 2 things Power and capacity.. window unit vs portable.. thanks uploader

[@ragazzo3215]

Is it normal that the AC shuts off when it reaches the temperature and then it turns back on? When I put it on low I’ve noticed it’s turns off and on… but now I tried on high it hasn’t turned off yet. Is that normal? Doesn’t mention anything on the manual regarding the automatic shut off/on

[@coffeecats6903]

I had this LG for 2 years tomorrow. The compressor does not stop running, or should I say it starts and stops, over and over again. Called LG, I thought maybe it was because of condensation, he told me that my compressor issue is not suppose to do that. He thinks it is the Control panel board. He told me it was not covered. We have an implied warranty law in Maine, they looked into it and then told me it was covered because of that law. Just finally got an email from them, made me send in documentation, and the case number. will see what happens. If they do not do anything I will try to figure out how to change or work with the control panel. Hope you all have better luck with your unit.

[@benenecat]

Mine used to be freezing at 72, and now it's barely cooling at 66. I think I've had it about 5 years. I cleaned the filters and emptied the drain pans. Any ideas? Am I out of luck?

[@brendanmanwaring9971]

I have one it works great, maybe it doesn’t cool a huge house down but 300 square feet no problem. I love it.

[@ColtonRiffel]

Brendan Manwaring how quickly can it cool down the room from what temp to what temp? I’m debating on this for a garage application

[@brendanmanwaring9971]

@@ColtonRiffel takes about half-hour for a noticable difference.

[@aqilbintory4958]

Global warming. Internal appliances contribute as well.

[@asakapa0003]

Just got one and my small room is freezing!. My only gripe is the hose is pretty stiff. The ac has to be almost directly in front of the window. Mine isnt and the ac is in an akward position. I just wish theres a more flexible hose and not plastic

[@onjekaji5832]

Y’all notice lil hot air leaks from the entrance funnel in the back of the ac?

[@animatedarliss]

Yes, I put masking tape or clear packing tape around the connecting points on both the AC and window kit.

[@david029014]

I'm looking for an elbow or telescopic vent tube so I can get a cleaner look thats more flush to the wall, it sticks out too much with that giant bend.

[@animatedarliss]

Let us know how it goes

[@david029014]

@@animatedarliss not well tried an aluminum duct for dryer, it's a no go.

[@animatedarliss]

Was it radiating too much heat back into the room?

[@david029014]

@@animatedarliss no I didn't even turn it on yet. I'm trying to avoid using that giant 6" diameter vent tube. Try to find something more flat.

[@animatedarliss]

If it's much narrower it might not exhaust heat fast enough

[@samvega1313]

It makes a difference better than nothing

[@BeefIngot]

Sound of it turning on the compressor would be nice. Its basically the only thing that matters outside of "does it cool"

[@animatedarliss]

Beef Ingot While using low fan, It gets maybe twice as loud when the compressor kicks on. The sound isn’t annoying to me but if very silent operation is important, portables are not the best option.

[@billy2204]

LMAO this is like the 3rd review video of this thing I've watched and NO ONE has shown it running.

[@roywilliams8647]

Good video man. Anyone ever say you sound like kip from Napoleon Dynamite?

[@Snowyness]

does your LG 10 0000 BTU portable AC still work after 3 years? just curious on longevity of this model

[@animatedarliss]

Yes it does

[@erickcontreras7054]

Not working very well, Not ice cold like the ones for the windows, and have to run for hours to feel some difference, My is brand new

[@animatedarliss]

How many sqft is your bedroom? If it's any larger than my 120 sqft room, I'd recommend the 14k units. Which are really only 8k DOE

[@erickcontreras7054]

animatedarliss the unit i got is for 300 sqf and my room is 130 sqf

[@animatedarliss]

Well, you can always return it and get a window unit. I'm not allowed to have a window unit, so it was my only option.

[@csick11]

It works very efficient for me and I got my ac in my living room. My condo is on upper floors so it can get hot humid at night but my ac works excellent.

[@mirawatchtu]

I just bought one and it sucks

[@rogeracosta7326]

Will it work in Mexico 🇲🇽 since Mexico they don’t have Air conditioning unit

[@animatedarliss]

🤔 I don’t know

[@dromerli6649]

Si

[@CHAPARRITA818]

They have better ones in Mexico lol

[@deelococ]

So u don't have to drain it?

[@Chubypenguin]

deeloc. oc nah u do

[@deelococ]

@@Chubypenguinhow so? Do you just open the little taps on the back and let it flow out? Why did he mention that it doesn't need to be drained?hummm

[@Chubypenguin]

deeloc. oc basically yeah

[@suelikechuu8269]

Does your portable ac turn off at night sometimes? I want to keep it going continuously but I don't know how to change it to that.

[@animatedarliss]

No. I've had it not turn on a couple times. And resetting the surge protector on the wall plug fixed it.

[@artbautista7987]

Did ya guys check if it needs to be drained. It shuts off when it needs to be drained

[@asnstyler]

How good is this Portable Ac? Reliable?

[@jaymarr4124]

Very reliable. I've had mine for a few years and running like new

[@onjekaji5832]

Is it loud?

[@animatedarliss]

A little noisy. I think it's pleasant sounding but some people think it's too much.

[@onjekaji5832]

@@animatedarliss is that the same as the LG 10000 btu heater and ac?

[@animatedarliss]

@@onjekaji5832 I can't answer that

[@fluffymacaw933]

We had to get these portable ac’s because our houses’ ac blower fan motor stopped working

[@michaelamccarthy9060]

Did it work good?

[@hazaziazizan1273]

I'd just buy Daikin air conditioner and my room have a ceiling fan too and i'm thinking to buy air cooler or portable air conditioner too. I'm just obsessed with cooling unit even though i already have an AC😅

[@uncovidvaxxforthestrongand3582]

air coolers are just fans.

[@julias844]

Is the hose extendable? What diameter would I need to look for?

[@animatedarliss]

Kimberly K if you extend it, the unit may not perform very well.

[@animatedarliss]

But I’m sure you could try it. As for diameter, as long as it was a similar diameter you could use duct tape to connect the new hose.

[@jaymarr4124]

It's 6" dia

[@supremekingjesus425]

You went through all that bullshit and talking about you recommend that AC without firing it up?? And do a cooling test in your room??

[@animatedarliss]

I elaborated on the real world cooling performance in the comments. Sorry for missing content in the video.

[@alexanderjakubowski5673]

The reason why these things are just awful is because of where the tube connects to the window kit. It will stay in at first on its own, but you WILL need to start using lots of duct tape down the line in order to keep it in, which is of course integral to keeping the thing operating. The plastic is incredibly cheap and flimsy for how much these things cost as well.

[@huli332]

piece of junk. can not cool my 230ft room. sleep mode is loud. remote is invisible in the dark.

[@animatedarliss]

Do you plan on getting a Window unit to replace it?

[@billy2204]

Go off of DOE ratings only. The DOE rating for this is 6500 BTU. 230 sq feet would need a 8100 BTU AC.
