Verdict

The LG LP0825WSSM is a smart 3-in-1 portable air conditioner delivering 8,350 BTU DOE (12,000 BTU ASHRAE) cooling capacity to efficiently service medium rooms up to 350 sq. ft. Operating on a standard 115V outlet with a 1,005-watt power consumption, it features cool, fan, and dry settings, the latter capable of removing 3.17 pints of moisture per hour. Main pros include its advanced smart connectivity via the LG ThinQ app for Wi-Fi and voice control (Alexa/Google Assistant), an auto-swing air vent for even air distribution, easy-rolling casters, an auto-evaporation system that minimizes manual draining, and a relatively quiet operation ranking between 48 to 51 dBA. However, notable cons include its hefty 60.4-pound frame that makes lifting it between floors difficult, its restriction to floor space, a lower energy efficiency score typical of single-hose configurations, and a noticeably louder performance when running on its highest fan speed.
