Our Verdict

Whynter NEX ARC-1230WN

LG DUAL Inverter LP1419IVSM

The Whynter NEX ARC-1230WN outclasses the LG DUAL Inverter LP1419IVSM in every respect. The Whynter's dual-hose design gives it a massive advantage in terms of cooling efficiency, allowing it to cool a room much faster and with much lower energy consumption. The LG is a little more compact, but it's still a fairly bulky appliance.
