I bought this air conditioner off amazon because during the heat wave here all of the stores locally had sold out. I was concerend about such a large delicate item being shipped to me but UPS must have done their job correctly because it arrived to me safely. I bought this unit after my Soleus Air Conditioner broke down on me during a 105 degree day. I got online and found this air conditioner the very next day. I used the free super saver shipping and received it 2 days later even though it said 5 to 8 business days which was FANTASTIC!I installed this unit by myself but I do not recommend it. I am a huge strong guy and have above average knowledge of installing window air conditioners. This unit is huge and heavy and cools my entire house. I live in a small 3 bedroom one story house and with the aid from a few fans every room stays nice and cool even on the hottest humid days. I have the unit in my living room I position a fan pointed down the hall from my living room to funnel cold air to the bedrooms and bathroom and have a fan in two of the bedrooms which works great! It is 102 degrees right now as I am writing this review I have the unit set on 67 energy saver and its frosty in every room. It gets downright freezing at night in all the rooms after the sun has set for a while. No complaints so far about the performance but I do have a small issue of the front panel cover. The front panel cover is slighly bulky and feels pretty cheap. I would expect a more sleek design from LG and I do not lik it does not have an option on the display for me to see what the temperature is in the room it only allows you to see the temp you have the ac set for.

I was amazed at how quickly we received this air conditioner right in the middle of the hottest part of the summer, just 3 days, but the airconditioner is pretty loud especially when it's trying to start up, but had already installed it so just left it. I wish we had plugged it up and checked it out before installing.Honest reviews on LG Electronics LW1512ERS 15,000 BTU 115-Volt Window-Mounted Air
I'll give a more detailed performance review after I've had it working for a while, but wanted to give a heads-up about handling this during delivery.I'm giving this another chance. I tried this last year, but the Fedex guy dropped it while unloading it from the truck. The G-force bent the mount that holds the motor and fan creating a grinding sound. Amazon had it picked up for free and refunded all of my money with no problems. This year I purchased it from a local electronics store. Two skinny little guys delivered it to my apartment, which made me nervous. I did notice that there is a slight wobble to the fan as it turns, but I'm hoping this won't be a problem. Not sure if they dropped it during loading/unloading.
So far I'm trying different locations for installation and it is putting out a lot of cold air. Once it is fully installed and running, I'll update my review.
Bottom-line; Make sure you know who is delivering this to you and how. This thing is heavy and hard to get a grip on, make sure there are two guys.
Update:
I finally got it installed in my one bedroom apartment and it produced really cold air! I'm using it on the lowest setting so I don't disturb my neighbors in nearby apartment units. It was 88 degrees outside and my place was cooled down to 74 very quickly. I'm sure I could have gotten it much colder if needed. I don't detect any problems from the fan, as mentioned above. Timer shuts it off several hours later as needed and the energy features shut off both the compressor and the fan until cooling is need again.
Giving it 4 stars of now, because getting to your house without some kind of damage makes me wonder about the long term quality. Maybe it needs a real shipping container instead of a cardboard box with 1" to 2" of styrofoam!
Once the outside temp gets into the 90's and 100's, I'll give another update.
Update 2:
I have operated the unit with outside temps around 97 degrees now. I had no problem keeping the apartment around 72 degrees with the fan set at the lowest setting.
Note that if you have this AC unit set on timer mode it will auto increase the temp by 2 degrees after about 2 hours, then stop increasing. They do this because they think your body is getting colder by 2 degrees while you sleep. I found this out the hard way. I couldn't understand why the unit was changing my temp settings. Now if I use the timer, I just set it 2 degrees colder than normal.

Our AC started to act up just after the warranty was up. First the touch pad on the AC itself stopped working, and we could only operate the unit by remote.Then it started working again normally on it's own after about a month. It was short lived though because the remote stopped working(changing the batteries did not help). Then shortly after that, all of buttons on the unit failed except the power button. In order for it to work, the power button had to be held down for about 3 seconds..... but the mode/fan speed/ temp etc did not respond to touch. Then the unit started working once again on it's own. The last issue is, the AC will automatically change it's temperature. Lowering, or raising the temperature on it's own, usually in the middle of the night. Not only did I get a piece of junk, but I got a possessed piece of junk starts to beep when one try's to sleep.
LG's site support was difficult to navigate, and the AC is too heavy for one to carry to a repair shop. I'm done with LG's AC line.
