After 9 years our Kenmore window air conditioner stopped working. We did our research and for the price and features this LG was our first pick. We installed it ourselves. It is a much lighter unit than our previous unit and a breeze to install. The controls are easy to use and temperature adjustment can be made from the comfort of our bed with the remote. We turn the unit on 15 minutes before bedtime and the room is cool and comfortable. The only negative is that this unit is a bit noisy but so far we are not bothered by it.
