LG LP0817WSR Portable Air Conditioner Review
Most window type air conditioners need to be fixed through a hole in the wall. Upright conditioners & high velocity fans, on the other hand, are so massive that it will take several folks to move them to a different position. But if you’re staying in a dorm, a small apartment or even a small room, or perhaps moving from one room to the next, one house to another, or even from home to work, then you clearly need something more portable, more compact yet delivers cooling comfort for your absolute relaxation. You will need the LG LP0817WSR Portable Air Conditioner.
The LG LP0817WSR Portable Air Conditioner offers portable cooling solutions to small rooms that are at most 150 square feet in area, delivering up to 1.8 pints per hour of continuous dehumidification. This allows the occupants of the room to feel a lot more comfortable without necessarily suffocating from the excessive moisture that may be present in the air. Its cooling efficiency is rated at 5500 BTU following the 2017 standards issued by the Department of Energy or 8000 BTU if using the old ASHRAE-128 standard.
It comes with an auto evaporation system that helps ensure the unit will not overheat while also contributing to substantially colder air in the room. The same system comes with a programmable 24-hour timer so you can have full control of its cooling efficiency regardless of whether you’re in the room or not.
The LG comes with a power mechanism that is easily plugged into standard 115-volt electrical outlets with 15 amperes of electric current. It should be easy to use in almost any room in the United States as well as other countries that have similar electrical outlet specifications. The 6-foot power cord should be enough since the LG is highly portable; it can be placed near existing electrical outlets with relative ease. Unfortunately, this also limits its portability as it is dependent on the location of the electrical outlet.
The auto swing louvers are conveniently located at the top of the portable air conditioner, projecting cool air in an upward manner so that it can effectively push for the more efficient circulation of cold air throughout the room. It can also help eliminate hot spots so you get exceptional comfort wherever you may be located inside the room.
The all-white finish of the LG Portable Air Conditioner is an interesting match to any white room or any room with interior design where white appliances can be exceptional pieces of aesthetic enhances. Measuring a mere 23.7 inches tall, 16 inches deep, and 18.7 inches wide, the LG Portable AC will not eat up too much space. It also weighs less than 59 pounds and coupled with its 4 durable wheels, moving it around the room is pretty straightforward.
