LG 10 000 BTU SACC

T The Strategist Michael Zhao · reviewer · Jul 2026

“It’s my favorite thing in my apartment,” said staff writer Dominique Pariso in praise of the LG, which is now in its fourth summer. Pariso has hers set up by her desk, “so it’s important that it isn’t super-loud,” which it isn’t. During testing, I found that the LG generates about 56 dB when running on high, which is louder than Midea’s and Hisense’s inverter ACs but less than a traditional AC. The noise is more of a steady hum and doesn’t interfere with conversations and music like the rattling whine of a regular AC might. It drops to a barely audible 44 dB in sleep mode.

LG's Dual Inverter portable AC consistently tops efficiency rankings. The variable-speed compressor adjusts output continuously rather than cycling on and off, reducing energy waste and keeping temperatures remarkably stable. It includes Wi-Fi control, a programmable timer, and operates more quietly than standard compressor units at comparable BTU ratings.

We installed this air conditioner in a high-rise Chicago apartment where it easily handled the humid summer heat. Even as the outdoor temperatures fluctuated, it maintained a comfortable temperature inside (with both Wi-Fi connectivity and a remote control to monitor and adjust the thermostat).

The LG LP1025WHSM is a good portable air conditioner. It does have some limitations (like its limited window kit) but it cools faster and its more energy efficient than direct competitors.

I've used a lot of LG air conditioners over the years, and their LP0621WSR 10,000 BTU model makes my list as the quietest portable AC for medium areas (up to 250 square feet).
