4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful but louder than expected, August 12, 2006
This review is from: LG 6,000 BTU Low Profile Window Air Conditioner LP6000ER
This is probably the prettiest air conditioner I've seen, with it's low profile and sleek design. But it seems noisier than advertised, although that may be because it's in a small bedroom near the bed. I like the different settings, and use the fan setting a lot on cooler days (the fan has three speeds). One excellent feature is that it comes with a metal bracket you attach to the sill. The air conditioner sits on this bracket, so if you open the window, the air conditioner won't fall out! All in all, it's an excellent product for the money.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Works well, but has serious noise issues, September 26, 2007
This review is from: LG 6,000 BTU Low Profile Window Air Conditioner LP6000ER
I special ordered this because consumer reports gave it good reviews on both sound and operation.
From an operation standpoint, it is absolutely amazing. You could even say it works too well - cooling the room down to 70 when you set it at 75. It has great features, and will retain its settings if the power blinks.
However, the problem with this unit is noise. First, the unit is so large that it shakes everything around it. In an old house with old windows, even a tightly secured unit of this size will cause rattles. But, this is easily fixed and not the main problem.
The first few months it was nearly silent (probably the reason consumer reports gave it a good review), but now it is so noisy it often wakes me up at night. When the compressor is running it makes this annoying and loud swishing sound. The filter lid also ends up rattling.
In the end I'm going to have to trash this unit I think, because it is simply too loud. This is too bad, because it works so amazingly well, and looks very stylish.

quiet, efficient, August 7, 2006
This review is from: LG 6,000 BTU Low Profile Window Air Conditioner LP6000ER
Bought it at the beginning of summer 2006.
Cools large bedroom when outside is 99-100; very quiet, good "energy saver" mode. Still a window wart even though "low profile."
