Screwing the vent hose in might be the most annoying part of the installation for me

[@meribugg]

i still have mine 2years in running great From Baton Rouge LA.

[@jamiebuchanan7272]

Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I 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!

[@FitsandFun]

I agree. Works great.

[@chroniclesofguyver7888]

I bought one of these last year. It worked great. For four months. Then it broke down and the company informed me it had a three month warranty. If you ask me, eight hundred was way too much to pay for a four month ac unit. Most portable units like this can run 24/7 all year without a problem for years on end. I have a few LG products that I think are great but this one seems to have been a scam.

[@CrazyUncleDrew]

Bought this and have owned it for about a 1.5 years. I only run it in Cool mode. We live in a dry environment. Saying that, over the past 2 weeks the air suddenly smells like urine. I opened the Dry Mode plug and there was a very small amount of water but it smelled like Urine. The bottom plug did not have any water in it. In fact, never had to deal with water drainage. BUT since I never run it in Dry Mode... it's strange that the Dry Mode drainage plug had a small amount of water and is the source of the Urine smell. HOW do I get rid of the smell and clean it out since it's coming from that drainage plug?

[@morgake09]

Looking for recommendations on how to use this product- you said you run it for an hour and that keeps the room cool all night? I just installed mine and if I have it set to “cool” on anything higher than 65 degrees it turns off almost immediately. Admittedly it’s a cooler night and probably not the best time to try it out but it’s definitely closer to 70 degrees in here than 65. I assume it will turn back on if it drops below 65, but I haven’t had that happen yet…. Not sure what my question is…. We also have central air but one of the bedroom upstairs just does not cool down enough

[@FitsandFun]

I actually bought another one of these, now I have 2. We set it for one hour in our room, and for 2 hours in the kids room. The compressor will kick off if the room gets too cold and only run the fan, but not the ac. Then the compressor kicks back on when it gets warm. But the machine runs continuously in either fan or cool mode for the set time. And we also have central air set at 74. But yeah, after an hour of running our room feels good all night. Probably depends on the rooms windows, outdoor temp, etc, I'm sure when it's in the mid 80s at night, we'll have to run it more. Maybe an extra hour somewhere in there. But it's very powerful and extremely cold.

[@FitsandFun]

Also, I set mine at 65. It does not have a way to sit idle and start at a certain temp. It has to be running, and it'll alternate between fan only and ac/cool based on the temp. Not sure exactly how accurate the thermostat is for that though. We just basically blast the cold with the timer set, for a little bit and it turns of when we're asleep.

[@casper2yall]

Great video, I need one lol..

[@tylernixon909]

I just purchased the same unit but it didn't come with the window insulation so I tried to make my own until I can have it shipped to me. With that being said it takes the edge off but it doesn't get "cold". Do think it could be due to the cardboard and HVAC tape I used?

[@FitsandFun]

Depends on the size and shape of the room, and what kind of air flow you have. Poor insulation definitely would make it hard to cool a larger room especially if it's really hot outside. If you can literally feel hear coming in around the window instalation then it's a problem.

[@hal511bm]

Thank you .

[@justuselogic814]

You mentioned to use during power outage, but it plugs in. Did I miss sonething?

[@FitsandFun]

I have a gas powered generator that I run during power outages.

[@gbarreto_]

The drain should be as low as possible. The unit should've been designed a little higher off of the floor.

[@FitsandFun]

Yeah, I just unhook the exhaust and unplug the unit then lift it into the bathtub and drain everything. Pretty easy to do every few weeks.

[@lisab.3091]

The oval hose collar that attaches to the adjustable window opening is a terrible design. Constantly pops out of the opening (I tried the duck tape also, to no avail). It's a terrible design flaw. They have made a couple generations of tweaks to try and improve the functionality of that collar over the years, but I know people who have brand new units who are still struggling with it. I'm going to gorilla glue mine to the frame. Hopefully that will fix the issue. A new frame and hose assembly is $140 by the way. Completely agree with you about the stupidity of the location of the drain plug. Its awful to have to tilt the entire unit to drain it. Its a two person job. Also the little piece that attachesnthe drain olug to the init snapped off in year two. I've had my unit for 9 years now but it really only gets used for a week or two at most every year. Our aoartment building controls when they turn on our AC. It's always the end of May, and some years it's just way too hot before then in our south-facing apartment. I also purchased antivibration mats to put under the wheels on ours which helps with dampening the noise. With proper filter maintenance and vacuuming of the fins it is still performing really well.

[@alphahoss1947]

You’re going to need the everbilt brand 120-Volt Condensate Pump that comes with a Hose to drain the water out of the windows that the hot air is going out of its the Everbilt bran model # EB-PUMP-T From your local hardware store

[@leidakapllani3561]

I just purchased this unit on Amazon. Trying to install it and it came in with two 25” panels for window installation. My window is 29” wide. One panel is too short and two of them at the shortest length are too long. What can I do, short of cutting the extension panel. So frustrated, I want to return the unit 😳😤

[@FitsandFun]

www.lg.com/us/support/video-tutorials/lg-portable-air-conditioner-installation-CT10000014-1396971806638 This is how I installed mine, I have 32inch. This might help

[@FitsandFun]

It's also possible that they sent the wrong parts, I purchased mine in store at Lowes, not sure if Amazon sellers are always the most reliable.

[@leidakapllani3561]

@@FitsandFun thank you for the link and explanation. I thought the same about the Amazon seller but referring to the installation instructions, even there they listed only two pieces of 25” each. Another buyer on Amazon has the same issue still waiting for LG to send the shorter piece. More sweltering nights ahead….

[@FitsandFun]

Good luck! I can't sleep in heat. Uhggg

[@frankhandy7345]

So..how do you open the back to clean the internal condenser coil that is impossible to get at?? I unscrewed all of the back screwesand could not remove the back??

[@FitsandFun]

I have no clue.

[@frankhandy7345]

@@FitsandFun Well that is the problem with lg portable ac units..inside in the bottom back deep into the unit lies the condenser and coil .now they get covered in dust even if you clean the filters every day..

[@damiangreyfs]

Hey Aaron, you mentioned a few times that you used it when the power went out. Does it not need to be plugged in?

[@FitsandFun]

I ran it off our generator. It was in the 90s and without power we had no AC. So I use the generator to power this AC and our refrigerator s.

[@michaelluis4053]

What degree do I keep it to cool?

[@charlessanders1342]

Should half the vent on top be blocked by a piece of styrofoam? Mine blows out cold air but not cooling room down wondering why half the cold air output vent is blocked by piece of styrofoam.

[@FitsandFun]

No, it shouldn't be blocked.

[@abhilashabhi4036]

How do you add water ?

[@taitopotato]

Is this programmable where it shuts off at a set temperature and turns on again if the temperature increases?

[@calebfoster2520]

Honestly, might as well get a window unit. Cheaper and less maintence? For that price you can get two window units, maybe three and erase the need for portability

[@FitsandFun]

Absolutely, I had a window unit also and purchased a second one of these for our bedroom simply for the convenience. Very easy to set up and the remote is great. But a solid window unit would be half the price.

[@brothersinarms930]

I've bought one but i live in a base and the hose is too short to reach the top window ND i don't know the hose dimensions to order one for it...cause I've ordered one before ND it didn't fit so I'd had to return it...soooooooo could u help me with that

[@twistedlime1975]

I'm curious would this be good to use out here in Texas, because humidity is brutal out here and 108°f out here lol

[@FitsandFun]

Sure, you'd just have to drain it more often when it's more humid. But it cools a huge room fairly quickly.

[@xGentenaar]

its 90 degrees in my room i would like to get it to 70 degrees but every mobile airco i find they only lower like 5-10 degrees

[@FitsandFun]

This one takes our room below 70 fairly quickly. But the door needs to be shut and the room is about 250 square feet.

[@DACatface]

do you have to keep the rear air hose attached if in dehumidify mode?

[@FitsandFun]

Great question, I don't know. I have it stored for the winter, so I can't check. Sorry.

[@ragazzo3215]

Is it normal that the portable LG AC shuts off when it reaches the temperature then it turns on again?

[@rasosa5578]

It does do that

[@rasosa5578]

I’m not sure if it’s Normal but I would think so

[@Bloodbornepro.]

Did u ever fix this issue? I have the same unit and it keeps shutting off during the night

[@ragazzo3215]

@@Bloodbornepro. yes it’s normal to do that… but I figured out last summer that there is a way to leave it on as long as u want … I can’t recall it now… but once summer comes by I’ll remember and get back to u on how I did it. 👍🏻😉

[@Bloodbornepro.]

@@ragazzo3215 OK lol. Thank u. I wonder if setting the timer would work?

[@soylareina7482]

I had mine for 2 yrs I drain it often but now it spits water out from the top 😢 🤷🏻‍♀️ someone please help

[@curious_gage]

Its a decent unit but it is literally impossible to find the window installation kit. Impossible!

[@FitsandFun]

Any installation kit should work. Especially if you have the main piece on the back that locks to the unit. The hoses and the actual window exhaust can be any brand as long as it can attach to the exhaust on the back of the unit. If that makes sense? Not sure if I'm explaining that right.

[@jalennelson6599]

Any clue why the flaps close and will not open again?

[@FitsandFun]

No idea, mine open when it starts and close when I turn it off. All automatically.

[@tablatronix]

Mine came with a clear tubing for the drain

[@lisab.3091]

Smart. They have tweaked the design since I purchased mine.

[@vincentcontrol]

It Was working fine since i have purchased it last summer but this summer it decided to stop working and it is not getting any power. piece of crab and waste of money.

[@FitsandFun]

I would be pissed! You should contact LG through an email with that information. The worst they can do is nothing. Best case they replace it.

[@tonyunutoa985]

check the capacitor

[@Lizmarie00]

my LG portable air is leaking too much water from the bottom, does anyone know how I can fix it?

[@FitsandFun]

The rubber plug should stop the leaking. Unless it's full of water and needs to be drained.

[@robertwilliams7842]

Wow this thing has bad Reviews I may not get it...

[@FitsandFun]

I saw that, reminds me of my dishwasher that got great reviews and still only lasted us 3 years and died right after the warranty expired. It's hit or miss.

[@LK-hn4ep]

Mine worked for 3 months and we put it away for the winter. Took it out this summer and it won't blow cold air - the compressor never kicks in. I could write a book on how horrible LG's customer service is. I spent 3 hours on the phone or live chat with them. BEWARE!
