Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the excellent cooling performance of the 1,000 Sq. Ft. 18,000 BTU 230V Smart Window Air Conditioner, with many praising its ability to effectively cool a space. However, a significant drawback mentioned by several customers is the unit's 230V voltage requirement, which is not compatible with standard wall outlets in many regions. This incompatibility was a source of frustration for some buyers. Clearer communication of the voltage specifications is suggested.

    Haven’t been able to use requires special outlet. Does not use standard outlet we will have to have a new plug placed not even sure if the unit works yet. Seems like it will be a pretty powerful unit.

    Air conditioner is sleek. The controls are clearly marked and works directly from the front panel as well as the remote control. Unit is quiet and cools very well.

    It stated it comes with a window install kit. It only comes with the side peices to enclose around the widnow. It does not come with the weight bearing bracket that goes below the window. Friedrich air conditioners come wiith the bracket. So LG is cutting corners and really shafting buyers who now have to search for brackets. So now in 95 degree weather with elderly relative have to figure out what type of brakcet to get. I can tell by how they answer questions here that they don’t really care.

    Had to return it immediately. I couldn’t use it since it’s 230v which is not the standard wall outlet. Problem is that’s exactly what they promoted and it wasn’t that

    there is only one random picture showing that this is a 240V AC unit. I was under the impression it was a standard 115V. Really terrible for them to not be up front with the specifications on voltage

    Lot of people looking to buy this is under the impression that its a standard 110v unit. No specs showing it is a 230v unit. Requires a 20amp 220 volt outlet as well circuit. Not a huge project to convert. Basic electrical work. If the neutral not shared. Any unit over 12,000 btu should be on a dedicated cicuit to begin with.
