LG LW5023 Window Air Conditioner 5000 BTU

Overview

A 5,000 BTU window air conditioner rated for rooms up to 150 sq ft, with mechanical dial controls rather than digital or app-based ones. It fits double-hung windows between 21 and 35 inches wide and about 12 inches tall using the included EZ Mount kit.

LG keeps this one simple: two cooling modes, two fan speeds and physical dials, aimed at buyers who want a window unit that just works without a screen or app. The listing text is cluttered with unrelated search terms referencing swamp coolers and dehumidifiers, but the actual unit is a standard compressor-based window AC, not either of those.

• 5,000 BTU, cools up to 150 sq ft
• Fits double-hung windows 21-35 in wide by 12 in tall
• 50 dB low mode, 2 fan speeds
• EZ Mount install kit included

Who it's for

Fits a small bedroom or room up to 150 sq ft where simple mechanical controls are preferred over digital ones, and where the window opening falls within the 21 to 35 inch width range. Not for wider windows or anyone wanting remote control.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The fixed chassis installs with the included EZ Mount kit into a double-hung window sized 21 to 35 inches wide by about 12 inches tall. LG rates low mode at 50 dB, and the slide-out washable filter is meant to be cleaned roughly every 30 days to keep output steady. It uses R32 refrigerant and includes an Energy Save function to cut electricity use.
