DISCLOSURE: I've owned this unit less than a week (my friend owns one as well, which I helped set up) so I can't comment on the long-term reliability, only functionality compared to other units I've owned or used.
【TL;DR】
This is about as good as it gets in portable air-conditioners - and that's... quite good.
【INTRO & BACKGROUND】
I've owned several "window shaker" type air-conditioners over the last decade, and one other portable.
Window models are slightly more efficient (because the "hot section" sits entirely outside) but are extremely inconvenient to install unless your building is designed with a port for them. Many allow "street noise" through, nevermind being rather noisy themselves.
Most portable A/C units use generic "guts" and just replace the outer cosmetic shell.
This LG is different, which I'll explain in the pros and cons below. I'm going to start "from the ground up" because LG's design team really hit a home-run with this one.
【FEATURES & PROS+】
• The "smooth gliding caster wheels" are extremely durable, easy-rolling and swiveling - many portables use cheap, "office chair" type wheels that bend, break, and clog with hair.
• There's a drain plug centered near the bottom of the unit and connected to a 2-pint water tank. The device evaporates water through the exhaust hose but the tank acts as a buffer if it can't remove enough. The device will shut-down if the tank fills up and will send a warning, including one via the smartphone/tablet app, to empty the tank before resuming operation.
• the included vent panels store in a slot built onto the back of the unit - this is a MASSIVE improvement over every other portable on the market where you need extra storage space (or a roll of duct tape) to store accessories
• the included window vent panels are thick, reinforced, high quality, non-brittle plastic (ABS or PVC perhaps?) and there are enough of them to cover wide windows. In fact, in my apartments with average windows, there was enough paneling to install in TWO separate windows. I cut an extra port in one of the panels with a Dremel routering jig (see pics) and now I don't have to move the exhaust panel, just the unit.
• the exhaust hose points VERTICALLY from the back of the unit - another massive improvement over other brands in which the hose exits horizontally - less clearance is needed, and the hose stores right on the unit
• dual-inverter compressor - in short: the compressor motor can run at different speeds which makes it not only more energy efficient but MUCH quieter, especially on start up. Instead of the *CLUNK...RATTLE* on compressor start/stop that gives box units the "window shaker" nickname, this one quietly spools up and down, making it great for bedrooms.
• smartphone/tablet app monitoring & control - you can check room temperature, check the unit's status, and fully control it from anywhere in the world. Once connected to the network, the unit can be controlled via app even when you're away from home. (you may need the geeky-kid-next-door to make sure your home network doesn't block this)
• app allows for scheduled start and stop, as well as delayed ON/OFF
【QUIRKS & CONS-】
• the remote control is anemic and very sensitive to direction - I've practically given up on it in favour of the smartphone app, and the on-unit control panel (no biggie - I think LG assumed people would use the smart app or panel and the remote was an after-thought) It does stand upright, and comes with a wall bracket, though.
• The app is slightly quirky: there's a lot of wasted space that results in having to scroll, and click "expand" tabs. I'd like to see this improved by having all controls on the same screen - simple sliders or radio buttons instead of MASSIVE sections would solve this.
• Unit requires a 2.4GHz WiFi network with WPA/WPA2 security (doesn't support WEP, not that you should be using WEP security in 2019). Once connected, the app will find it no matter where you are. (5GHz WiFi or on cellular data)
• No ECO/AUTO mode - HOWEVER... the "DRY" mode seems to function exactly as you'd expect an ECO/AUTO mode to: it still uses the compressor to cool the air/dehumidify, but runs the fan on low only, then shuts the entire unit off when the target temperature is reached.
【Conclusion】
Despite the quirks, all of the pros of this unit (smart accessory storage, wheels, low noise level, smartphone monitoring & control anywhere) make it a winner for me, and my friend who owns the same unit.
While on my bus commute home, from my smartphone, I can check my apartment temperature, command the air-conditioner to power on, and set a target temperature. I get home and the apartment is habitable.
An aside: the smarts and dual-inverter, quiet compressor in this unit are available in LG window models, as well as split systems. If your home has a port for a window type, that might be something to consider.
Top marks - this is as good as it gets in portable air-conditioners.

Broke within 9 months
I give less than zero overall rating. I have been calling LG customer service for months because this unit broke down 9 months after I purchased it. I have been told over a dozen times that I will get a refund or replacement every time I call and nothing ever happens, last call was with Annie, who a...ssured me this matter was escalated to upper management and still to this day nothing has been resolved. My credit card company wants a statement saying the unit cannot be repaired and I haven't even got that from LG.
The unit has a coolant leak after going through diagnostic with your people and still you haven't sent me a statement that it is not repairable so my credit card company can refund me. I will continue to call regarding this matter. You have my email so why no help with this.

The a/c arrived just as I felt as if I would pass out from the heat and humidity. It is difficult for others to appreciate just how much relief the A/C has given me this summer, but I am thankful for the respite it has afforded and look forward to many years more of use. Thank you!

I am very pleased with this portable a/c unit. It is very quiet and not as large as our old unit. The hose is securely fastened to the back of the unit in a way that doesn't put undue pressure on it. The controls are easy to use.

I bought this a month ago. It is a very well built floor air-condition with special features like an automatic vent that fans the room when turned on. It also has a sleep function which is quieter than most. There is still a noise factor, but less than most. It is heavy to carry, so you will need help. All in all an excellent floor AC unit.

After a lot of research, I selected the LG model and it has solved our upstairs air conditioning issues completely. At our 2 story home the existing heat pump could not maintain a cool enough temperature when it was 90 degrees or hotter. By utilizing the Lc dual converter a/c in a large main bedroom, it is cool and comfortable all the time.. Also the look and features are very appealing. Thank you for a great product!!

I bought this during a recent heat wave. Within 24 hours it lowered the OUTSIDE temperature by 15°!
However, what was most striking was how easily it set up, with the window insert(s) working as designed, and the vent hose attachment from the unit to the window being very easy.
I especially love being able to sit in my downstairs living room and control the functions - in fact, I don't even have to be home to do that.
Finally, it is quite quiet, especially on the sleep mode.

When the air conditioner arrived it was missing the remote control, manual and installation hardware. I called the store where purchased and they sent the remote. I also called the factory and they said they would send the manual and hardware( just a couple of screws). That was 2 months ago , still nothing. The air conditioner works great , cools the space quickly and is quiet
