How to Rate LG Window Air Conditioners

Window air conditioners are a great way to cool both large- and small-sized rooms without having to install an expensive whole-house system. These units can easily be removed when the weather outside cools off. Window air conditioners can be purchased at a local appliance store and also at most department stores. There are many different brands to choose from. One such brand is LG, or LG Electronics. Most LG air conditioners are small and compact, which makes them a popular choice for use in apartments. Before deciding to purchase an LG window air conditioner, however, it is a good idea to compare and rate the units to find the one that will serve your individual needs the best.

Instructions

1. Rate the LG window air conditioner by giving it a "full-star," "half-star," or "zero" according to the unit's BTUs.

2. Give the LG unit another "full-star," "half-star," or "zero" according to the features included with it. Features include things like digital controls, a delay timer, an Energy Star rating, a remote, window mount, and a variety of fan speeds.

3. Rate the LG window air conditioner according to how loud the unit is by giving it an additional "full-star," "half-star," or "zero."

4. Give the LG unit a "full-star," "half-star," or "zero" according to how well the price of the unit compares with other LG window air conditioners having similar BTUs and features.

Tips & Warnings

• When looking at an LG window air conditioner's BTUs, the higher the number, the better it can cool a room.

• Some other things to consider when purchasing an LG window air conditioner are the length of the cord, the type of outlet that the unit will be plugging into, and the length of its warranty.

• For best results, try to find an LG window air conditioner with an overall rating of at least 2.5 stars or more.
