LG LP0825WSSM review

LG 8,350 BTU (DOE) / 12,000 BTU (ASHRAE) Smart Portable Air Conditioner LP0825WSSM

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.3 / 5

LG states both ratings in the title, 8,350 BTU DOE and 12,000 BTU ASHRAE, which makes the comparison easy. It is a non-inverter model for rooms up to 350 sq ft, with Wi-Fi and voice control.

Best for
A medium room with an LG app and clear DOE rating
Skip it if
You want an inverter for quieter, steadier cooling

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the US price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
