I bought this for our basement family room, which in addition to needing cooling can sometimes get a bit damp.  We had a functioning window AC down there, but it didn't do a very good job on dehumidifying, and I decided to take a chance on this unit rather than adding a separate dehumidifier (power draw would've been a concern!)  Couldn't be happier with the decision - this unit is substantially quieter than other window AC units we've owned, easily maintains a comfortable temperature, and except on the hottest days we've been able to just run it in "Dry" mode to hold both the temperature and humidity down in the room with significantly lower power draw.  Installation requires removing the unit from its sleeve which makes the install much easier and safer, as all the "finagling" part of the install is just with the lightweight empty sleeve, and everything I needed was included in the box.  Would buy another LG in a heartbeat.
