I bought 2 of these in May.  I was a loyal fan of another popular air conditioning brand. I was ready to purchase from them again, until I read reviews stating their quality was not what it used to be.  I came across reviews for an LG and they were 4-5 star reviews.  Afer reading other buyers opinions, I decided to purchase the LG brand.  The 2 8,000 AC's efficiently cool my apt. They are quiet, have energy saver mode (which is a must for me),  remote controls, and even tell you when to clean the filters.  I am very satisfied with my purchase, and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering buying a new AC.
