LG LW1216ER

We bought this 12,000 BTU unit as an upgrade to an older 10,000 BTU unit from another brand. We have an open floor plan for much of the house, but don't want to go the expensive route of getting central air installed since we're in Upstate NY, where we only need AC 2 to 3 months each year.

This is my second LW1216ER; both bought to replace 5 year old Frigidaire 12,000 BTU units. The difference is so significant it's like they're not even competing products. The old unit was incredibly loud. It used to wake me up when it kicked on. I don't even notice the LG cycling on and off.

So far the air conditioner is cooling off our room really well for the big area we have. We are having problems with the filter light keeps going off and the filter is clean, not quite sure what that is about yet.

Purchased less than a year ago and it worked fine for a couple months but now it will randomly stop working. The motor fan seems to stop and it doesn't blow air. My husband has to go outside and hit it and sometimes it will work again for a couple days. Very unfortunate. Feels like a waste of money.

I live in an older house that has a converted attic space. Naturally, it gets really cold in the winter and extremely hot in the summer. My old air unit just kicked the bucket and I decided to go with this new LG 12,000 BTU Air Conditioner for my attic space. I'm so glad that I purchased this unit.

I bought this unit because I couldn't afford to get my central unit coil replaced it was just too expensive. I put the unit in my living room area 800 sq ft. and you can feel that air blowing 7 feet away on the Couch. it is remarkably cool in this area that includes my kitchen and dining room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and its really a great AC. It's a bit more intensive to install than others I've had in the past but the day I installed it it was 88 and in 3 hours the ac had cooled my living room, kitchen and main hall (roughly 620...

The item works great, but is making an unexpected hissing sound that my other identical unit does not make...

Purchased to cool a part of the house that the central A/C unit didn't cover. It cools great, my wife actually grabbed a blanket to warm herself up while watching tv. Quiet operation, no need to crank up the volume on the tv. Easy to install, performs well, little noise, would highly recommend.

I bought this to replace a wall air conditioner.Not as big as my last one but was on sale because of end of summer.The room as its in gets cold.And does a decent job with others.I use it for multi rooms not just one.Not to loud.Heavier than expected but easy to install.Cut my electric bill down too.
