LG 14,000 or a Honeywell will cool off an entire place without raising electric bill

Same unit. It's louder than I'd like but it does the job in our bedroom with minimal fuss. Have a similar dual hose unit from LG in the main room and it doesn't cool the entire space, but can certainly reduce the temp by 3-4 degrees and take the edge off. If you can't get a window unit, you're not SOL anymore.

I have 2 portable LG units now (the Dual Inverter 10,000/14,000 BTU Model), both work pretty well. However both pretty much max out the 15amp circuit I had in that appartment and are a bit pricy per unit of cooling. If either of those issues are a problem I would instead grab whichever Hisense or Midea model Costco has this year. They will be $200-250 cheaper than the LGs I have (the 'deal' price at Costco should be <$450) and the brand reputation may be worse but Costco will cover any issues with a return/replacement. Hopefully they have a single hose this year!

Hi there, As we near the summer and the looming threat of a very hot year becomes a reality, I would like to upgrade my current AC set up for my living room in my condo. I currently have a terrible single hose portable AC from the previous owner. Some important information: * The windows were made to be sound-proofed and only open outwardly/vertically * The previous owner had circular holes cut into the wall of each room where the portable AC unit plugs into. It works fine in the bedrooms but not so well in the living room (\~550 sq. feet). I can't vent it through the windows due to the outward-opening style * My HOA won't allow window units and they probably wouldn't work anyways for my type of windows * I don't think a double-hose unit would work because I just have the one circular hole in the wall. Would I need to cut another hole in the wall for this? I'd really appreciate any advice on what could be good for my situation!

I've got one of the LG 1419 models. It only cools the room like 3 degrees at most.
