Comment:
Worst experience I have ever had with a window AC unit. Unit was properly installed. Sounds almost as loud as a freight train outside my window. Customer service is useless. I bought the unit at [@], and I have been referred to an unrelated service company which is backlogged with similar service calls for a week. LG customer service goes through too much red tape and needs to address and get to the problem.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
So far, so good

Comment:
Bought this unit to replace two existing units that I was using to cool my bedroom. Actually wanted the LW8012, but they were sold out. What's great about this unit is that it's very powerful and cools the whole room excellently! The remote control and timer mean that I don't have to get out of the bed at night to adjust or turn off the unit. The installation was a bit different for me because I was used to installing smaller units where you simply take it out of the box, put it in the window, plug it in and turn it on, voila! Well, this unit actually requires you to remove the unit from the chassis, (which as easier than it sounds) and install the chassis into the window. Again, this was different from my previous AC installation methods, so I was a bit taken aback but I figured I'd at least give it a shot, before giving up and taking it back :-). Once that's done, you mount the guide rails (I had to look at the manual online to better see the bottom guide rail installation image) and the frame curtains and then mount the chassis into the window. The process was somewhat of a pain but I must admit it was much easier to simply mount the chassis alone without the heavy unit installed. After the chassis is mounted you simply slip the unit (a bit heavy but obviously lighter without the chassis) into the chassis, screw it down and you done. I appreciated the installation method much better after it was completed!<br /> What's not so great about this AC is just that the installation can be somewhat of a pain, but not too much, other than that I have no complaints. It's quiet enough so that I can sleep, it cools the room down to the temperature that I want it to be, and I am satisfied with this purchase. Thank you CR! I would have given 5 stars but I've only had it for a few days! I'll be back if something changes.

Worst experience I have ever had with a window AC unit. Unit was properly installed by apartment building superintendent, worked for a total of 3 minutes with a load clunking sound then died. Customer service is useless. I bought the unit online through a national retailer, and I have been referred to an unrelated service company which is backlogged with similar service calls for other LG ACs for a week. Temperatures in the 90s in NYC right now. I will never buy another LG product. Never. Not a happy camper here!
