LG LP1200dxr 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review

Customer Ratings:

I've owned this unit for 2 years and it runs 24/7 from around May through September. Other than cleaning the air filter there is no maintenance, and the unit will turn just about any room into an ice box. I originally purchased the unit for an upstairs room with western exposure that would just be unbearably hot during the summer. This unit turned it into the coolest and most pleasant room in the house.

It is a large and heavy unit, and a bit noisy if you plan to sleep in the room with it. But we did get used to the noise, and it was certainly a fair trade off for the comfort it provided. I would not hesitate for a second to purchase this unit again, and when summer rolls around I am so thankful that we have it. Very well built and efficient cooler.

I have had this unit for 3 years and it has performed very well.Even though the portable ones aren't supposed to be as good, we got this as it was well rated at the time. It has vents that go up and down to move the cold air around. It is powerful and gets the room very cold. I am sure it would cool an area 3 times the room I have it in easily. You can program it to a specific temperature. You can set it on dehumidify. It shuts down if the water chamber needs to be emptied and that can happen several times on very humid days but I just put a shallow pan under it and pull the plug to drain it. It has a good solid vent hose and a washable filter that is easy to get to. I have a slider window so I can't mount a permanent AC unit and also it is not my house so this is a great solution. It is a way to change the area you want to cool also. It is heavy and large but is on wheels and it's not whisper quiet but it is basic white noise and easy to sleep through. When not in use in the winter empty and clean and cover it to keep out dust. Store in a warm dry place or mold can grow in air conditioners when they aren't in use. If needs cleaning consult a pro to avoid damaging condenser.

I love this product. It has 4 modes (Cool, Fan, Dry and Energy Saver) and all of them work perfectly! I'm using it in my bedroom which is big and it lowers the temperature to 60F in any of its modes. I got it one month ago and so far, I haven't had any real problem with it. The only thing is that the water container gets full every 20 minutes approximately, when the humidity is around 78% so I would like this container a little bit bigger.

Honest reviews on LG LP1200dxr 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Best unit ever! I bought this for my bedroom and to give my dog some relief while I am at work. I am a total internet junkie and feel like I am really good at researching online, I was nervous because this was the first AC unit I have ever purchased and most reviews of portable AC units most were not that encouraging. Works so good I am considering moving this unit to my livingroom and getting a smaller unit for my bedroom with less BTU's, I will stick to LG units since I've had good results with this one.

Pros:

1. Super cold! My room is between 200-300 sq ft I leave my door open to the hall/ living room and my bedroom room is like an ice box within minutes, temp set at 64. Sometimes I rig a regular oscillating fan in front of my bedroom door and it will drag the cool air to the living room.

2.There is an "energy saving" option. The temperature will regulate itself, great to be able to leave it on when I am at work and come back to a cooled down room.

3.I have not had to worry about emptying out the water tray at all and I ran the unit continuously last summer.

4.The self cleaner mode is awesome.

Cons:

1.Electric cord is too short. I do not have many outlet options in my apartment and since the cord is so short it's pretty much stationed to one outlet that barely reached a window for the exhaust.

FYI: I have the old school crank windows that open left to right that force me to leave the window open all the time for the exhaust to exit. I had a piece of thick plexi glass cut to the size of my window with a 6x6 inch square cut out of one corner so the exhaust can escape. I replaced my screen with the plexi glass to comp for the window remaining open. I have security bars on my windows to I wasn't worried about safety. Just in case anyone else has this issue.

I got this portable air conditioner to cool the second floor of my one and a half story bungalow. I only have to run it for 2 or 3 hours in the evening to get the second floor bedroom nice and cool for sleeping. It is a little loud, but it is basically white noise and very easy for me to tune out. It is necessary to drain the water once every few days into a shallow pan (it's the only thing that will fit under the lower drain), but you don't need a way to let it drain while it is running. When the water tank gets full, it shuts itself off, so no mess to clean up. It is also very easy to fit the exhaust vent into the window when I want air conditioning and take it out when I want fresh air. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It does exactly what I wanted it to.
