LG, I think you could simplify the window panel installation by at least designing something that doesn't require the drilling and screws. Other than that, it looks like a nice unit.
The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC
LG l set the temperature to 60 and then it goes back to 86 and it stay on it all day long. It does not stay on what I set it on why? I'm confused. Do i need to return it?
Hi do you know how to set it to stop all together when the set temp is reached? because currently it just changes to fan mode when the temp is reached, i like it to stop completely and come back on when the room temp gets hotter again. please let me know if that's possible.
Hey there. We can help you get the hose for your LG A/C unit. However, to ensure we provide you with the correct hose, please send us your model number. This will allow us to ensure we get the right one for you. ^David
Hi! Unfortunately we do not have customer service on UA-cam. Someone will be happy to answer any questions you may have on FB or Twitter (LGUSSUPPORT). Thanks! ^Emma
Hi. I’m sorry to hear you're having this issue, and I’d like to see if we can assist. Please contact LG Customer Support by direct message via Twitter ( @LGUSSupport ) or Facebook Messenger ( facebook.com/LGUSA/ ), and include your contact details, the model & serial numbers, and a detailed description of the issue. ^Merlin
Hey Kathy! We would love to find out how to get your A/C running using this generator! Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport with the model and serial number of your A/C, as well as your generator model.

Hi, there. Not all LG portable air conditioners need water to operate. The model referred to in the video above is a self-evaporating unit, meaning it can evaporate the condensate water generated during the cooling process without the need for a water tank. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, you can reach out to us on Facebook or X at @LGUSSupport. `Li
I'm confused, just watched this "portable" A/C advertised on a news program. It was under my impression the unit could be moved around. Looks like installing a window A/C is so much easier
And I don't know why all their videos always show installation in vertical sliding windows. Why would you even buy a portable a/c for these kinds of windows, when they are the perfect recipient for windows a/c, which cost 3 to 4 times less money for better performance. Even the provided installation kit seems optimized for vertical sliding windows, as nothing is provided to insulate the gap between the two horizontal sliding windows. Heck, it would not cost that much to include something like a white pool noddle than you can cut to fit between the windows. That does not make any sense to me.
Ryan Schwinghammer not about laziness it's about the fact that it says it's portable yet the setup is presented in a way that it needs to stay in one place.
@@itisnottaken4444 really dumb. Conventional aircon you require professional technician to install. And it stays there at that same room with permanent drills into the wall. Portable air con can be moved to another room or location with no damage to current furniture and fittings or walls.
Compré una unidad de aire portatil, lo instale pero no trabaja normal, es decir el compresor entra por espacio de un minuto y sale. Quedandose solo en abanico por 7 minutos mas o menos y asi se mantiene todo el tiempo, por lo cual no enfria. Que puedo hacer?.
Between the background music & the gloved hands this video is pretty creepy to watch. Plus the text went by too quickly. Time to do an updated version maybe?
J'ai acheté un exactement pareil quand il fait chaud il n'arrive pas à refroidir une chambre très déçu mauvais investissement surtout pour le prix LG not good he Can not do the job when the wether IS hot expensive but not good.
Don’t buy. Had for a year and 2 months. The unit stopped powering on. It cost $700ish dollars. Now my options are to throw it away, buy a new unit, or spend hundreds and wait for parts to have it repaired ( by the time it’s repaired it will be after the hottest day). It worked great till it didn’t, and they don’t do anything to help. Save your money go with another brand
So sorry to hear this! Unfortunately we do not have customer service on UA-cam. Please send a message to our support team on FB or Twitter (LGUSSUPPORT). Thanks! ^Emma
I did contact LG customer Care. They told me I was out of warranty and told me I’d have to contact a technician myself and have them look at it, then order parts that get sent to me, then I have to call another technician and have them install it. So after $100’s and a few months that isn’t a good option. I spent $700 and now I have to spend $100’s a year later because the device is defective?
Well, technically it could work with a dryer vent hole. But if you are to make a hole, just buy one of those wall-mounted A/C. They are much more efficient and less noisy.
We bought a LP1217GSR 2-3 years ago now, at the time of this review. I must say it is a bad product, here is why. The vent duct is cheap, falls apart in the first year, the unit needed to be moved a few inches ever day, and then moved back into place so we could service our bird. So it just crumbles away, the first summer, cheap plastic and design. If we ordered a new vent ducting, it would do no good anyway, due to the Cheap little attachment points and on back of the main ac structure, at least 1 of them broke right off. Maybe more buy now, I due not no because every we have Gorilla tape trying to hold the exhaust vent duct to the attachment point for this pretty much whole last summer. Every day I have to re tape it, the tape fails, probably due to the heat and pressure on the duct vent from the $700.00 after taxes main ac unit. So extremely lame design, for the vent duct attachment point. Also the unit's air compressor shuts off and the unit just blows out hot air. It is a terrible design and engineering this $700.00 piece of junk. I got one for myself maybe 10 years ago, no complaints other than the cheap lame vent duct that fell apart through out the years. Never move the unit, must be the big vibration when unit turns it self on and off, and the cheap plastic that did it in, as far as ducting vent. Unit still works great, just had to wrap the vent with gorilla tape last year, and little sections years ago. Unit will shut off and will not blow hot air, has a tough vent duct connection design. They have incorporated so much bells and whistles into them I noticed, maybe that is why they are so lame, and cheap, only last 1 year max. Also must not test them out, and girly designers. Products are supposed to improve, not go to hell in time.
So sorry to hear this! We do not have customer service on UA-cam but we do on FB or Twitter (LGUSSUPPORT). Please reach out to them with any issues you may have. Thanks! ^Emma

Is the drain hose necessary?
@@jimmiller4743 From the looks of it, it appears the drain hose is used to expel the heat from the room to the outside. I think it's necessary.
I’m not buying a drill for this. The weight of the window will have to suffice to anchor the hose & panels in place. Make the hose more durable.
@@lauralutz4538 Agreed 👍
Wish me luck!
I'm so happy in LG so good life

What does a red light mean
Is it possible to find this product in Dubai ?
Desde quando é portátil quando tem que fazer uma instalação toda na janela???
is the exaust hose supposed to get hot?
Yes because the portable AC is gathering air from the room and is pushing it out the window through the hose unlike a window unit AC
Doesn’t look all that portable to me for all the work that has to be done for one window.
Can it do vertical?
Please pardon us, but we will need some clarification about what you mean about if it can do vertical...^Ivan
@LGUSA I think he meant if the panel for the extractor can be vertical on the window
What Is name the backsound music?
👏 amazing 👏 It's a good video

How much
5 million rupees
Got it and very nice one
Does the vent tube leading outside release harmful fumes or air?
Excuse me
You’re excused.
No it’s literally just got air
yes mustard gas
Yes laughing gas
Nothing like the printed instructions included with the unit.

Hi, when you fixed the vent to a window, this unit will not call Portable any more. LOL
bro, for the way an ac works, it has to be like that. it still is portable because you can undo the build and do it somewhere else.....

You could just shut the window down without the tape. And change windows as you please
