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.

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.

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."

This has got to be the best looking window air conditioner ever made. It's sturdy and sleek -- although it definitely has a "low profile," it's of course not unnoticeable, but the designers obviously put a lot of work into making it actually appealing, over and above the merely functional. Besides that, it is ridiculously easy to use, just set it up, plug it in, and go. I bought mine from PC Richard & Son in-store, and most sales guys will tell you that this should only be expected to cover a single medium sized room, but this one unit keeps my 400 sq foot 1 bedroom solidly comfortable (of course the living room, where the A/C is, is quite a bit cooler, but that is fine by me). I suppose it is a little loud, but I wouldn't have even thought of it if I hadn't read other people's reviews -- you can definitely hear it come on if you're in the same room, but the noise it makes is definitely a pleasant sort of white noise (not some kind of irksome industrial-sounding grinding or whatever) and I haven't found it bothersome at all. I haven't experienced any rattling in the window frame (and I live in a charming old building) and found the unit weighted very well for installation and stability. It was a *little* difficult to get the built-in window slat things to slide out to fit into my window frame, but after struggling with it for a bit, I got it to work fine. The remote control is a huge plus, and I actually use it a lot more than I thought I was going to. Plus, very energy efficient!

Basically, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and don't know how I ever lived without it :)

Compact design, light weight & easy to install. It runs better, quieter, and more efficient than other ACs I have. I'm very satisfied with this air conditioner. I want to stress again, this unit is very very quiet. Ideal for small rooms and bedrooms. It cools 12' x 13' room with easy. The only negative about this unit is its price. I paid 299 at a local PC Richard & Son store.

If you have windows that don't open up more than 12 inches look no further. This air conditioner fits where most don't, and that is a huge perk. I bought this air conditioner a few days ago and I am very happy with it. It cools my one bedroom apartment well and is very quiet. This is an energy star air conditioner which is nice. I love the remote control feature. The design is very sleek - most air conditioners are ugly in comparison. I also like that this air conditioner has an automatic five year warranty - parts and labor. Most air conditioners give you a one or two year manufacturers warranty if you're lucky. Just my two cents.

After reading the other reviews of the LG Low Profile Air Conditioner I decided to give it a try. "Boy am I glad I did!!!" This Air Conditioner is the best Air Conditioner I have ever owned! Not only is it nice looking on the outside as well as the inside, but it works extrememly well, and took us about five minutes to install. Our Bedroom is about 170 square feet and we couldn't find an Air Conditioner that kept the room cold. The LG Low Profile Window Air Conditoner keeps our room extremely cold and is very quiet. Sometimes I have to look at it to check that is is still on it is so quiet. My advice to anyone who likes their rooms cold is to spend the extra money and invest in this air conditioner you certainly won't be sorry!

I wanted to love this air conditioner so much. The design and style are nothing less than amazing, right down to the expandable window frame folding nicely into the unit. Even built in handles!
Unfortunately, it's just unacceptably loud. The compressor cycles off and on with a loud growl. In not sure if this unit is merely defective, but I suspect that the innovative design forced the company to compromise too much in other ways.
If this unit was whisper quiet, it would have completely taken over the market by now.
I'll be getting rid of it shortly.

This is one of the most beautiful air conditioner. I was fool by it's look. It's more expensive than other similar product. The unit is so loud I can't sleep at night. I will return it tommorrow. Don't buy

i love the unit. although it is a bit noisey upon restart each time.still a great unit.
