LG Electronics "Use It While Moving"…Portable Air Conditioner Released

Pre-order from 19th to 28th, Official Sale from 29th
Usable in Various Home Spaces Like Kitchen and Study Room

LG Electronics will conduct a pre-sale of the 'LG Portable Air Conditioner' from the 19th to the 28th and will begin full-scale sales from the 29th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 17th that it will launch a portable air conditioner that can be moved and used in various places around the house. Pre-orders for the ‘LG Portable Air Conditioner’ will be held from the 19th to the 28th, with full sales starting on the 29th.

The LG Portable Air Conditioner can be used in multiple spaces within the home, such as the kitchen and study room. For customers who move frequently, it reduces the burden of having to reinstall the air conditioner. It is also useful in spaces where installing an outdoor unit is difficult or where drilling holes in the wall is not possible.

The new product is equipped with a dual inverter compressor with two cylinders that compress refrigerant. Because it can compress more refrigerant at once, cooling performance and energy efficiency are improved, saving up to 29% energy per day based on 4 hours of use compared to the existing fixed-speed model (LW-C062PEW).

The cooling area of this product is 26 square meters (㎡) and it offers various functions such as cooling, air circulation, and dehumidification. When using the quiet mode at low wind strength, it achieves low-noise cooling with noise levels as low as 42 decibels (dB).

LG Electronics provides a simple installation kit as a standard accessory, considering Korean window frames, so customers can easily install and use the portable air conditioner themselves. Customers only need to slightly open the window of the space where they want to use the air conditioner, attach the installation kit, and connect the duct that expels hot air.

The model equipped with wireless internet (Wi-Fi) can be linked with smartphone apps such as LG ThinQ, Google Assistant, and Naver Clova, allowing remote monitoring and control of the product. A remote control, which makes usage more convenient, is also provided as a standard accessory.

The LG Portable Air Conditioner is also recognized overseas. In April, the U.S. business and tech media Business Insider selected LG Electronics’ product as the best portable air conditioner. The media praised the LG Portable Air Conditioner for delivering top performance while being energy efficient and quiet. Its differentiated smart features also received positive reviews.

The price of the new product is 749,000 KRW for the Wi-Fi equipped model and 699,000 KRW for the standard model, based on the shipment price.

Gamkyu Lee, Vice President and Head of the Air Solution Business Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “We will provide differentiated value to customers with a portable air conditioner that can be used in various ways.”
