The LG Electronics model number LW8010ER, 8,000 BTU window air conditioner is an Energy Star qualified device, making it stand out from other air conditioning units, in it's capabilities for lowering energy usage and thus, expenses. This window unit air conditioner also has a number of excellent features for ease of use, customizability, and of course, cooling power, however not all of the aspects of this LG Electronics air conditioner are positive.
This window air conditioner has easy to use electronic controls, as well as a very useful remote control, and 4-way air deflection for optimal air flow to keep your area cool and comfortable during the hottest months, but there are also some negatives that are important to know before purchasing this unit. Although the device comes with a window installation kit, actually installing the device proves tricky, if it's something new to you. This device measures approximately 12.4" high by 19.5" wide by 19.4" deep and weighs about 59 pounds, so it's certainly not a compact unit. This allows it to cool medium and larger sized rooms pretty well, yet it may prove to be an issue for installation year after year.
This LG Electronics air conditioning unit, which is said to be able to cool rooms up to approximately 340 square feet or 17' by 20', does, in fact, proves to cool rooms rather effeciently, but not without with quite a bit of noise. Although this model has less noise than some previous, comparable units, the noise factor still may prove an issue, as it can be rather loud and distracting at times. Overall, this product is an alright buy for its $199.00 price tag, yet it is likely that other units in the same price range will prove to be better buys.
