LG Electronics 7,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Model # LP0711WNR

I just purchased this AC unit (Summer 2011) only planning to use it when it gets above 90* outside. Ive wanted one for years, but the price on Portable AC units was through the roof. This one is fairly priced. At $249 at the time I purchased this 4/1/11, It looked like they were selling fast, I decided to pick one up before they were gone.

Nice small unit, Looks good, not too loud, Seems like its quality made by LG.

Hey where do you put the water into?

[doublethetech]

@MichaelZhangOfVOHEMO You don't. Air Conditioners remove water from the air and normally drain to the outside, since portable units cant do that, they typically have systems that evaporate the water into the hot outgoing vent air out the window. This unit does just that, it removes water from the inside air, and evaporates that water into the air that gets blown out the vent to the outside.

Nice video, I am thinking about purchasing, this and you can probably help me with a question.

How easy would you say this is to move from room to room? Also, do you leave the window vent permanently installed? And does it come with more than one?

I ask because I am wanting to get one unit that I can roll from my small living room in the day to my small bedroom at night, but leave the window vents in all the time.

Thanks for the video!

@MrWelcomeGhosts Since it does have wheels, the unit itself will roll from room to room, it rolls well on my medium pile carpet, its not too heavy to carry also.

The vent it came with did not fit too well in my window, I am actually thinking about making one out of wood, and making a proper hole/connection from the wood to tube.

It only comes with one window kit.

You would have to buy another vent kit that would be compatable with this unit, I don't know if anyone sells it.

[doublethetech]

@MrWelcomeGhosts also, you would still need to pull the vent kit in and out of each window, On a hot day/night I dont think you would want to leave the hole for the tube exposed to the outside, letting hot air in. So when you move the ac from one room to another, you would have to pull the whole thing out of the window. I guess its possible, but it sounds like more work than its worth :(

Is it still working? I've had bad luck with these portable units, they seem to last only until their warranty expired. I had an EdgeStar, it decided to completely fail within months of its warranty expiring (1 year).

The redneck that I am, I woulda put a larger window AC in the window, called the police when the neighbors complained and had an officer explain it to the nosey, irritated neighbors that this is America and I can legally have and use a window AC in ANY window of my dwelling UNLESS they pay for the floor model (which I would generously use to keep my ass cool). BUT, It does sound like you agree with the neighbors, so, alls well.

How many db's is it. desa bells sorry abouut my spelling

[TastyTacoBoy]

The only legal right to a "view" is if someone had pre-existing satellite or solar and new construction blocks it. Otherwise, no one can do anything about somethign they don't like at your house, with once caveat. If you're unfortunate enough to live with a HOA, then the HOA can possibly but not always enforce rules regarding the exterior of your home.

[tucker3601]

your neighbours complained that ur air conditioner gave them a bad view of the house next door and made you get rid of it? WHAT CUNTS, those are some asshole neighbours! no offence...

[arsenalskate123]

i have this but i use the dehumidifier.... and it says that it's full... i tried draining it from the white knob on the bottom but nothing comes out. . . . how do you drain it

?

[apathy11303]

@MichaelZhangOfVOHEMO I live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I have owned this AC for about 3 months and am fairly happy w/ its performance... It usually lowers the temp in my non AC'd room by about 8 degrees... Meaning if its 84 degrees in my room, it get it down to at least 76 (and sometimes lower.) I have never had to drain the water on the unit until today (which is why I actually am online reading about it.) Its a super humid+rainy day and i have drained it 4 times so far (almost every other hour.)
