Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about LG LP0825WSSM

  • Cools small to medium bedrooms and offices quickly and effectively.
  • Smart features allow seamless remote control via the LG ThinQ smartphone app, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.
  • Auto-swing oscillating air vents distribute cool air evenly to eliminate hot spots.
  • Versatile 3-in-1 functionality supports cool, fan, and dry (dehumidifier) modes.
  • Built-in casters and handles make moving the unit across hard floors easy.
  • Auto-evaporation system limits the frequency of manually draining water in low-to-moderate humidity.
  • Simple maintenance with a washable removable filter and a convenient filter cleaning reminder light.

What we don't like about LG LP0825WSSM

  • Single-hose architecture struggles to cool efficiently if pushed near its advertised 350 sq ft maximum capacity.
  • Noticeable operating noise when the compressor kicks in, which can disrupt light sleepers.
  • The window exhaust panel installation kit can be tedious or difficult to configure perfectly without extra insulation.
  • Requires manual drainage via the lower rear port during prolonged dehumidifier use or under high-humidity conditions.
  • Physical footprint takes up valuable floor space in smaller rooms.
  • The short length of the power cord restricts convenient placement options near windows and electrical outlets.

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.
