You know, for a portable air conditioner with 14,000 BTUs of raw cooling power, this LG is surprisingly svelte as far as its dimensions go. It can cool a 600 square-foot room and removes more than three pints of moisture from the air per hour. In the winter, it doubles as a heater, too.

This one would work well in a garage or any other outdoor work area. Or your walk-in closet. It’s up to you.
