Out of the box, doesn't work. Did not install until almost 30 days after purchase just to learn its a piece of junk and BestBuys will not take it back due to their 15 day policy

Hello there, George. We understand that your LW1824RD didn’t work right out of the box. We understand how concerning it must be to discover the issue after the return window has closed. One troubleshooting step you might try is checking the power source and ensuring the unit is properly connected—sometimes, a reset by unplugging it for a few minutes can help. If the issue happens in the future, you may access this link related to this: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-air-conditioner-why-is-my-ac-not-cooling--1342109440312. We greatly value your feedback and will take it into careful consideration. —Avril

My first comment is this is a very heavy product. It is 146 pounds in the box. The box is large also. The air conditioner cools very well. Installation process was easy, but made difficult due to the weight of the product. Installation instructions are adequate but sometimes hard to understand. There was suppose to be lock nuts supplied with the product, but regular nuts were in the box. I had to go buy lock nuts because the regular nuts would not hold. Lock washers may work.

Works good but it is way too noisy. Even on low the fan is too loud, and lots of things seem to be loose enough to ratel around a lot when the compressor is running. It does do a good job cooling and dehumidify.

AC review

It cools great, a bit noisy though .the window came bent and one track missing had to improvise, but was still able to install, bought window brackets from Home Depo these sturdier than the ones that came with the ac. Spent more time than expected installing.
But its function of cooling awesome, remote control a plus.

Short cord

Very short cord in my opinion. The cord comes out of the back, right side of the machine. My outlet is located less than few feet away from the left, front of the machine and it will not reach.
I am excited to start using this air conditioner. Trying to find an extension cord that will work with the large appliance cord prongs.

Works quite well in our home, cools our open plan kitchen, dining room, and living room easily. In the hottest months, it does tend to overwork itself a bit and needs to be turned off for a while.

Hi, Jason. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Air Conditioner (LW1824RD) model. We understand how you felt about receiving a unit that isn’t working properly and then feel unsupported by service.
For a unit that won’t power on or cool, you can try a quick reset by unplugging the AC for 5 minutes and plugging it back in. Also check that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and that the outlet is functioning. If the unit is physically damaged and non‑functional, the next step is to contact Best Buy customer service at 888-237-8289. For more details, visit https://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/return-exchange-policy/pcmcat260800050014.c?id=pcmcat260800050014. If you’d like further assistance with repair options, warranty coverage, for your unit, please send us an email at [email protected] so we can help you directly. ^Juvy

This was a true debacle. I purchased this item in store and specifically asked the salesman if the plug was a regular household plug. On delivery it was not. Item returned however spent endless hours on the phone with customer service and still had to pay the return UPS fee. What a frustrating experience.
