LG Electronics LW8011ER 8000 BTU Electronic Air Conditioner with Remote

LG Electronics LW8011ER 8000 BTU Electronic Air Conditioner with RemoteNow on my second season and runs very well. Temps over 100 everyday now an this unit cycles on an off as needed. No fan noise as other reviewer had stated. They can be damaged in shipping but mine worked better than expected out of the box. Easy install an this unit replaced a GE that only lasted 3 seasons. Highly recommend an the energy star rating is just a big plus........

I really don't know if the negative reviewers have mental issues or not but most of them seem to hone in on the noise emitted by the air conditioner. Hello!..... It's a window unit all in one, how would they make it silent? If you want silent, go buy a split unit so all you have is the fan inside, as they do in Asia.

I bought it Sunday, got it Tuesday and put it in the window in less than an hour. The room is cold, there is no vibration as some others have complained and it's not exactly whisper quiet on full speed but who would expect it to be? C'mon. As far as it going off and on every three minutes, mine has been working continuously for the past hour. I expect it cycles on and off in a different mode.

Look folks, it's a window unit air conditioner. If you want silence, go put some duct work in your house and central air. I'm satisfied.

Oh and one more thing, it was this one or the Frididaire and I wanted to buy American. Good luck. The Frigidaire is made in China so it was China vs. Korea ... hmmmm a no brainer in my decision making.

This air conditioner seems to cool well. What is bothersome tome, is that it goes on and off every 3 minutes.

I usually put my window ac unit on "energy saver", meaning if the temperature is ok, it doesn't turn on. However, this one turns on every 3 minutes, whether you like it or not. In order to check the temperature, it turns on the fan to do this. At night this is a nuisance.

Sizing calculations said I need an 8,000 Btu unit for a 16 x 16 room. In fact, the unit will cool this poorly insulated rom from 95+ degrees to 72 degrees within 2 hours. Other reviewers said the unit was noisy. I didn't have a proper window. so I had to cut a hole in the outside wall and mount the unit. ( It just fits in 2 x6 studs + 1/2 ply + 1 inch siding) . Using spray=foam insulation to sound deaden, the unit is NOT loud, does not disturb neighbors at night, nor cannot be heard elsewhere in the house. I am very satisfied A great price, great unit and very good performance. I wouold readily buy again. C.R. Greene Santa Rosa, CA

Want LG Electronics LW8011ER 8000 BTU Electronic Air Conditioner with Remote Discount?

[Overall]I am a light sleeper. After doing an extensive searching for a quiet air conditioner for about a week (I even purchased subscription to consumer reports), I decided to purchase this item and I am currently quite happy about it.

[Very quiet. Cools 20x16ft bdrm]I installed this unit in my bedroom and the lowest fan setting is really quiet. The strongest fan setting (there are 3 in total), is about as loud as my regular fan. The size of the room is about 20x16 ft and with a powerful fan inside the room, helping the circulation, it cools the room quite quickly. Occasionally it will turn on and off as mentioned by other reviewers. However, this didn't bother my sleeping.

[Comparison to Frigidaire] I originally had Frigidaire 8000 BTU unit installed. However, not being able to sleep for about 2 weeks due to its noise, I have switched to this one. For people that wants a quite AC, this one will be a good choice.

[Perks: Thru-the-wall slot?] My apartment has thru-the-wall slot for air conditioners. I purchased this item without knowing that this is "windows" type air conditioner. However, the air conditioner arrived on a day that was 97 F and we decided to place this AC inside the slot and give it a shot (instead of cooking inside a piping hot room).

It worked fine. However, compared to Fridgidaire, it wasn't as cold, probably because we didn't place it on windows. However, we decided to cut the styrophome that was part of the packaging and used it to block any hot air from creeping inside. Currently, it shows about same performance as the fridgidaire.
