Simple Installation Solution
Those who have purchased LG LP0814WNR portable air conditioner highly appreciate its mobility. Owing to 4 comfortable caster wheels that are specifically designed to glide smoothly across any floor surface, you can easily move it around on tile, parquet or carpet without causing any damage. The air conditioner requires window kit installation for hot air discharging and is fitted with one kit only. Thus, if you plan to move the conditioner around your house you'd buy several window kits separately and install them in every room where you are going to use the device. This portable air conditioner is equipped with an automatic evaporation system, which provides continuous operation without having to remove excessive moisture (till the internal water collection tank is full). But you should also know when you choose the dry mode you have to use an additional reservoir for condensate collection. Just remove the drain cap and install the drain hose into the device while the other end of the hose should be placed outdoors or inserted into a suitable drain location.
Your Home is Your Comfort Zone
As an old saying goes "My house is my castle". If you opt for a portable air conditioner it will definitely add some comfort to your "castle" during hot sunny days. An air conditioner is meant to turn the suffocating heat in your apartment into the fresh air but this poses the question of how long does it take to cool the air down. Fortunately, LG LP0814WNR features a programmable 24-hour timer thus, you can preset the appropriate time when the conditioner will automatically turn on and you will come into a chilly apartment with fresh air! LG portable air conditioner has a maximum cooling capacity of 8,000 BTU, which is enough for effective cooling of small rooms or offices of up to 200 sq. ft. Therefore, if you place it in smaller premises the device will refresh the air much faster.
Introduction of LG Conditioners
The history of LG Corporation originates from the establishment of Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp in 1947 when Koo In-hwoi, the founder, decided to start manufacturing face cream. Koo In-hwoi had never thought that his brainchild would ever become a premium brand in air conditioner's manufacturing! The detergents and grooming products under the Lak-Hui brand had gained unparalleled popularity but the company's owner stood strong in the pursuit of his goals and decided to establish Lucky Chemical Company on the wave of success. LG was the first to enter the plastic industry in Korea and in 1958 Goldstar (today LG Electronics) was established. The next step in the company's development was manufacturing the first radio, hairdryer, refrigerator, and TV in South Korea. But in 1968 Goldstar already produced its first air conditioner and established a branch in New York City. It was the start of the company's global dominance in electronics. But there were many electronics manufactured under the GoldStar brand and the Lucky detergents were associated with Lucky company, that is why in 1995 the whole conglomerate was renamed “LG” with the tagline for the company ‘Life’s Good’.

INSTANT RESULT
You will be able to actually feel the fresh airflow filling in the room with the cold within the first few minutes after SPT WA-1222S has been switched on. The very model shows the highest airflow index in comparison to the other conditioners on our shortlist. To be more precise SPT WA-1222S has the airflow rate of approximately 500 CFM/h. That’s why the cooling takes so little time and is appreciable right away. The conditioner is said to be effective for premises sized 450 sq.ft, yet according to our findings, it does a brilliant job in bigger areas too. Wherever you choose to install it, the cooling effect will satisfy you!
ENERGY SAVINGS = MONEY SAVINGS
In spite of the fact that this air conditioner is a high-performing model, the manufacturer has seen about its cost effectiveness for users. The air conditioner has the energy index of 11.3 EER and really does a good job! We should also mention that this model features two modes: auto and energy saving. The latter detects the speed and optimal fan operation to maintain a comfortable temperature in a room at a designated length of time, thereby allowing users to significantly reduce the costs on electricity bills. Using conditioner in an auto mode is handy for those customers who don't want to busy themselves with the settings and would rather rely on the unit to do all of the job by themselves.
WHAT ELSE TO COME?
Just a decade ago the only requirement for air conditioners was some basic functionality with a cooling mode, several speeds and adjustable fan direction. But the progress never stops and there arises the need to implement new technologies for users’ comfort and presentable market appearance to not tail away from the peers. A good example is the SPT WA-1222S air conditioner with its number of additional functions you’d not be able to think of a few years ago. Aside from basic options that include cooling and fan system, it can switch to work in an auto mode, keeping the optimal temperature for creating a comfortable environment in a room, as well as remove excess moisture from the air, maintaining the right humidity level (that’s especially important for those consumers who leave in highly humid regions). The controls are digital and arranged on the front panel so it’s easy to eye the current settings and change them when necessary. The remote controller allows adjusting settings from the distance so you can stay in bed and select the mode you'd like to get up to.

What is an Air Conditioner

The market has got a vast array of conditioning units to choose from - split air conditioner systems, window units, portable conditioners and many more. It’s easy to get lost. The good news is, there won’t be any trouble after you read this review. We’ve selected the most present-day air conditioners of different types to tell you about their advantages so that you can choose the one, most suited for your special needs.
If you’ve already set your heart on any specific unit but haven’t found it in this review, we’d like to offer you more detailed reviews on portable air conditioners, window air conditioners and split system conditioners.
What Features to Compare
Type
There are two types of household air conditioners: monoblock and split air conditioners. Monoblock air conditioners consist of a single block. Moreover, all their parts are located inside their construction. Note that monoblock air conditioners include window and portable air conditioner units. Such devices are easily mountable but rather noisy. On the contrary, split air conditioners consist of indoor and outdoor blocks. The indoor block is usually mounted on the wall not far from the window while the outdoor unit is mounted outside. In general, such devices are usually purchased for home and office use due to their moderate price and quiet operation.
Performance
The performance of an air conditioner depends on its capability to maintain a comfortable microclimate and cooling power. Cooling power is measured in BTUs/h (British thermal unit). To be more exact, BTU is the amount of thermal energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 pound of pure liquid water by 1° F. Besides, consider an airflow rate of the device before purchasing. This index is measured in CFMs (cubic feet per minute). The higher this index is, the faster your room gets cool. Moreover, airflow rate has also significant impact on air dehumidification. Dehumidification is measured in the amount of pints of excessive moisture removed from the air. We also recommend considering the noise level (it is measured in dB) an air conditioner produces during operation. Note that a low noise level is great for your relaxation and good mood. Finally, consider the area of your apartment or office when choosing an air conditioner.
Operation Modes
All modern conditioners work in several modes. The prior purpose of any air conditioner is to cool the air. There are also air conditioning systems designed not only to cool, but also heat the air and maintain favorable microclimate in your dwelling. The air conditioners with the heating capabilities are usually more expensive. The ventilation mode is important to circulate the air so that it doesn’t concentrate under the ceiling but evenly distributes around the room. Another mode frequently provided by air conditioner manufacturers is dehumidification. Those consumers who live in highly humid regions will surely get use out of it by effectively removing extra moisture from the air. When switched to dehumidification, the air conditioner still cools the air, but the temperature in the room doesn’t drop lower than by 1 degree Celsius. Not mandatory, but quite often air conditioners work in night mode too. When the night mode is on, the air conditioner slows down the speed of the fan and raises up the temperature. This way the unit comfortably switches to quieter operation, favorable for relaxation and sleep. In 2-7 hours it automatically shuts off. You can always rely on the automatic mode as well and never busy your mind with any presettings. The conditioner is capable of maintaining the right temperature in your environment on its own.
Extras
The remote control can make the operation of the device very convenient. Due to Auto Restart function, the device will resume its operation after power cutoff. Besides, a programmable timer can switch the device on or off according to your schedule. Air filtration is also very important for creating a comfortable microclimate in your apartment. It is advised to purchase an air conditioner with removable and washable filters for its comfortable maintenance. It is great if your air conditioner has adjustable blades for airflow direction.
