Installation

Most owners found this air conditioner easy to install, with the exception of one who had difficulty with it.  The fit wasn’t perfect for her window so she used a flat board and some foam to close the area beyond the pleat extenders.  Owners say that you can install the sleeve and then slide the unit in.

Functionality

The bonus to the LG Heat / Cool Window Air Conditioner with Remote – 7000 BTU (LW7010HR) is its’ heater function in addition to its’ air cooling ability.

Owners like the compact size of this air conditioner, with one using it on a boat, and another in a garage workshop. They say it is also perfect for a small guest house. They say that this unit heats well without any worry about heaters and cords on the floor, though note that supplementary heat is necessary on an especially cold day. They say this unit works really well and that heat and cold air change over quickly. They like that this air conditioner keeps the set temperature and is thermostat controlled to shut off when the desired temperature is reached.

Owners also like the energy saver option and find this air conditioner economical to run, with one owner reporting “the upkeep cost isn’t much different from before I got it. “  Some owners use a window unit in the bedroom at night and shut off the central air conditioning, using it only during the day.

Two features that owners especially love are the remote control, with owner saying “I love not having to get out of bed if I get too hot or too cold.” and the re-start feature that will turn the air conditioner back on automatically if there is a power failure during the day, so that you don’t have to come home to a hot or cold house.

Only one owner had anything negative to say at all and that was minor. She said that the drainage hole is not at the lowest point to drain all the water properly.  No one else spoke of this at all.

Maintenance & Lifespan

We couldn’t find much on this area.  One owner has had his air conditioner for over a year and is still very happy with it. There were no complaints in this regards.
