LG Portable Air Conditioner LP0910WNR
Uncategorized November 26th. 2011, 9:10am
Well known for some of the best portable air conditioners in the world, famous electronics manufacturer LG has created the new LP0910WNR, as a viable substitute for those who do not want to, or cannot, have in-window AC units. This LG portable air conditioner offers a reasonably powerful 9,000 BTU performance power which is enough to cool rooms of approximately 18′ x 18′ (or equivalent) – so a pretty large area, though not enough to cool an entire house on its own (possibly 12,000 BTU models would be better for that). The LP0910WNR boasts multiple fan speeds, remote control and extremely convenient timer which enables you to set specific times for your unit to switch on and off, as well as the specific temperature. This review contains references to the many portable air conditioner reviews available for the LG0910WNR, as well as my own trial experience in order to fully evaluate the positives and negatives of this portable air conditioner.
Specific item features of the LP0910WNR LG portable air conditioner include:
- 9,000 BTU power which can cool rooms up to 300 square foot
- Adjustable fan speed
- Auto-evaporative cooling system, no need to remove water
- Remote control and 24 hour timer
The LG LP0910WNR is available on amazon for just $429!
With my father having professional experience as an engineer for items just like this, I know how to get the best of them, so when I see a lot of issues raised by customers in their own portable air conditioner reviews online, most of the time I know how to fix them, and my father definitely does! The LP0910WNR LG portable air conditioner is no exception. Of course, I cannot change the fact that this unit is undisputably loud – LG simply should have implemented an energy saving mode once the temperature has reached the desired low level, because as it is the unit just carries on at full power, which wastes power once the place is cooled satisfactorily. However, in terms of many other problems raised by reviewers, namely the ‘not cooling’ problem, I can honestly say that this unit DOES blow very cold air, as written by many other customers, however there are a few things you must do in order to ensure that your room declines in temperature. It may sound counterintuitive, but it is important that you seal the room from leakage in order to trap the cold air, otherwise it just escapes. Second, you have to make sure that you insulate the air hose which carries the warm air outside, otherwise it will escape into your room again. Some good duct tape is sufficient for this. And voila, problems are solved! By the way, a great feature on Amazon is that I can respond to portable air conditioner reviews not just for the LP0910WNR, but for any unit across the board, so I can help others to fix their problems.
In terms of money saved versus central air conditioning, the cost can run into the thousands of dollars per year, so once you set this up and get it working as you want it to, then the LP0910WNR LG portable air conditioner can make a very quick return on your initial investment. Portable air conditioners are much easier to install than central AC or window AC units, but that’s not to say you don’t need a little bit of tweaking (see above) to get the best out of it. Once you have it set up optimally, it delivers good value for the money, however I do think that for just a little but extra you can get a massive 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner unit, the NewAir AC-12000E for example, which would make a profound difference in relative terms. Some people nonetheless do like to opt to go for the famous LG brand, and I guess that’s not a bad decision, even if I do think it could be better, because a portable air conditioner is a great money saver either way, if you are fed up of huge electricity bills from your central AC. The best portable air conditioner will always save money versus central AC, but even the LG0910WNR, which I personally think is surpassed by the NewAir AC-12000E, can save you equal amounts of money despite not necessarily being the absolute best. This is because the energy efficiency of LG appliances is generally very good, and the LG0910WNR is no exception.
Pros of the LP0910WNR LG portable air conditioner:
Compact, stylish R2D2-like appearance

Cons of the LP0910WNR LG portable air conditioner:
12,000 BTU portable air conditioners (e.g. NewAir AC-12000E) available for a similar price
