LG 15,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner, Cools 800 Sq.Ft. (20' x 40' Room Size), Quiet Operation, Electronic Control with Remote, 3 Cooling & Fan Speeds, Auto Restart, 115V

Purchased for an attached garage with two cinder block walls. Full sun, no shade in metro Denver. I've only had the unit now for about 3 weeks and every day it has been in the mid to upper 90s. The unit has performed very well and surprisingly quiet. On average I have seen a 25 degree temperature differential in the hottest part of the day. For reference, my garage is about 570 sf. Everything I had read in my research said to size up for walls/doors that have full sun exposure. Installation was very easy with a second person to lift the unit in place. The internals slide out on a single tray leaving just the outer frame to make mounting the unit a breeze. Mount the frame, slide in the tray, a couple of screws and put the front cover on. My only complaint (and isn't something that would dissuade me from purchasing again) is that the rear fins are completely exposed. Some type of grill or grate cover over them would be nice to protect against damage from the inevitable hail storm. Power to the unit was not an issue. I initially had it plugged into a standard 15a outlet but, have since ran a dedicated circuit to this unit. The lights in the garage did flicker when the compressor kicked in. If a garage is your intended use then I would highly suggest getting this on its own breaker if you plan on using power tools, air compressors or pressure washers that are on the same circuit (breaker). The unit was NOT damaged during shipment or on delivery. If LG reads this, an app for the product would be great. The ability to set program schedules for the unit like a traditional home thermostat would be helpful when this unit is used in non living spaces. Yes, it has an adjustable temperature guage but, being all about the convenience, I would like the unit to turn off

I got interested in buying the LG LW1516ER because its' predecessor, the LG1515ER was the only 15,000 BTU window mounted air conditioner, listed by Walmart, that had no negative comments from customers. The new 1516 model was the same as the popular 1515 model only with several improvements added. One improvement was an energy saving mode. The other thing that I wanted was the largest capacity air conditioner, that I could operate on a standard 120 volt wall socket. And of course, I wanted a good price. After I purchased the 1516, and got ready to mount it. I discovered that the air conditioner pulled from it's case like a drawer. This aspect was a huge plus. I was able to easily mount the empty case in my window, then slide the air conditioner back into the case. After installing our air conditioner, I was pleased that I could run it, in the energy saving mode--set at 75 degrees, and could easily cool our five room, 652 Sq Ft, second floor apartment. Both my wife and I are delighted with the performance of our new air conditioner.
