Prices, ratings and stock were checked on Amazon on October 21, 2026. Specs from the older page are marked as such and were not retested. The 75 ounce weight on the old page looks like a typo and is flagged.
The LG LP1417GSR is gone for good. Here is what the old page said, how the two BTU numbers work and three portables worth a look.

The LG LP1417GSR Is History
The old page reviewed the LG LP1417GSR 115V portable air conditioner and already said it was discontinued. The Amazon link it offered pointed to the JHS 15,000 BTU model instead. A check on October 21, 2026 found LG still sells a portable, a 10,000 BTU (DOE) dual inverter, but not that older model.
14,000 or 10,000? Both.
Look at the new LG listing. It says 10,000 BTU DOE and 14,000 BTU ASHRAE on the same unit. That gap of about 30 percent is typical. Size the room by the lower number. The BTU calculator will turn it into a square foot answer.
What You Pay for With an Inverter
An inverter runs the compressor slowly instead of switching it on and off. That means quieter running, steadier temperatures and lower bills over time. It also means a higher price. If you run the AC most of the summer, the extra cost pays back. If you run it a few days a year, it does not.
Here is where portable ACs from the big names are going: inverters, apps and prices north of $500. LG’s old 14,000 BTU unit is gone, and the closest LG today is a dual inverter with Wi-Fi at $590.99. Smart is nice. Smart is also a lot more money for the same hot room.
3 Portable ACs Instead of the LG LP1417GSR
Rechecked on Amazon on October 21, 2026. Prices, ratings and buttons are below.
Price on Amazon: $590.99 | 3.6 stars from 235 ratings (checked October 21, 2026)
The LG 10,000 BTU dual inverter is the nearest LG to the old LP1417GSR. The listing says 10,000 BTU on the DOE test and 14,000 on the ASHRAE test, 115V, four cooling and fan speeds, a 24-hour timer, LG ThinQ Wi-Fi control and coverage up to 500 square feet. It costs $590.99, with a 3.6 rating from 235 ratings.
Price on Amazon: $469.99 | 3.9 stars from 9,180 ratings (checked October 21, 2026)
The Black+Decker BPACT14WT lists 14,000 BTU ASHRAE and 10,200 BTU SACC, rooms up to 700 square feet, Wi-Fi with voice control and a Follow Me remote. It costs $469.99, with a 3.9 rating from over 9,100 ratings.
Price on Amazon: $778.06 | 3.4 stars from 96 ratings (checked October 21, 2026)
The JHS 15,000 BTU is the unit the old page pointed to. The listing shows a dehumidifier and fan, a remote and a 24-hour timer, for rooms up to 550 square feet. It shows $778.06 today, with a 3.4 rating from only 96 ratings. We have seen a much lower price on it before, so check the live price.
The downside is the label. LG now says 10,000 BTU on the DOE test and 14,000 BTU on the ASHRAE test, on the same unit. That is honest, and it shows how big the gap is. Shoppers who only read the big number will keep comparing apples to oranges. Expect more of those mix-ups, plus pricier listings that quietly drop features like the auto door on the old model.
The Wi-Fi Complaint, Solved
The old page said the LG lacked smart features. The newer LG adds ThinQ Wi-Fi control and the Black+Decker adds voice control. If you want to cool the room before you get home, either does it. Without Wi-Fi, a 24-hour timer does most of the same work.
Single or Dual Hose?
All three picks here are single-hose designs as far as the listings show. Dual-hose units pull outside air for the hot side, which helps in hot weather. If the room is big, see our Whynter ARC-14S review. For the budget angle, see the SPT WA-1420E review.
Running Cost
A 14,000 BTU portable draws roughly 1,200 to 1,400 watts. At 15 cents a kilowatt hour, that is about 18 to 21 cents an hour, or about $45 to $50 for a month of eight-hour days. An inverter unit often uses a bit less.
The Pick
Want LG and Wi-Fi? The LG dual inverter. Want the biggest crowd of owners? The Black+Decker. Want the old page suggestion? The JHS, if the price is right. For the full list, see the best portable air conditioners and portable air conditioners explained.
FAQ
Is the LG LP1417GSR still sold?
The old page said it was discontinued. LG now sells a 10,000 BTU (DOE) dual inverter portable.
What is the real BTU of a 14,000 BTU portable?
About 10,000 on the DOE test. The new LG listing shows both numbers.
Does the new LG portable have Wi-Fi?
Yes. The listing says LG ThinQ control.
How heavy was the LG LP1417GSR?
The old page said a net weight of 75 ounces, which is almost certainly 75 pounds.
Final Word
The LG LP1417GSR is gone. The new LG adds an inverter and Wi-Fi, the Black+Decker is the crowd favorite and the JHS price needs a live check.
What comes next: inverter portables, dual-hose designs and quieter compressors, at prices that fall slowly. If you do not need an app, a cheaper single-hose unit may be enough.
