Our Verdict

LG LP0721WSR

Hisense Tower HIAP0825TWD

The Hisense Tower HIAP0825TWD is a significantly better portable air conditioner than the LG LP0721WSR. Its dual-hose design lets it cool rooms more effectively and efficiently by avoiding the negative pressure that single-hose units create, and its inverter compressor adjusts output to match a room's actual cooling needs rather than running at a fixed speed. The result is substantially higher cooling capacity, faster cool-down times, and lower energy consumption. It also comes better equipped for convenience, with Wi-Fi connectivity and smartphone app control. The LG does have one practical advantage, though, as it's noticeably more compact and easier to store when not in use.
