Hello,
LG has plenty of options for every room size and budget. They generally start around $150 and go up to $500 or more.
Last week, I purchased a 14,000 BTU beast of an LG air conditioner. It is 23 inches by 22 inches by 15 inches, and weighs 98 pounds. It is intended for installation into a window frame that houses double-hung windows, which I don't have. So I had to macgyver it.
It can cool spaces up to 800 sq. ft.
The LG ThinQ app leaves a lot to be desired, both in functionality and accessibility. It is the definition of bloatware, as LG packs controls and options for every single one of their smart devices into one app. In particular, air conditioner settings within the scheduler are obtuse, and the temperature controls are not accessible at all. About all you can do with the app is change mode from cool, fan, energy saver and dry, and adjust the fan speed.
I would be cautious about going with LG, if the WiFi control is something you really desire.
However, it definitely does an excellent job at cooling, and there is a simple remote control that will get the job done, once someone with eyeballs tells you were the buttons are.
Although, tapping controls on any of the app, front panel, or remote only emits a single-pitched beep, so audio feedback is useless.

HTH,
Adam M
