LG LW8024RD Window Air Conditioner 8000 BTU

Overview

LG's 8,000 BTU window unit is built for a bedroom or living room up to 350 sq ft, running as quiet as 53 dB on low and pairing electronic controls with a remote. Auto restart brings it back to its last setting after a power blip.

Window ACs in this size class tend to blur together on specs, and LG separates itself mainly on noise output and control layout rather than raw cooling power. The 4-way air deflection lets you aim airflow instead of just choosing high or low, which matters more in an oddly shaped room than another 1,000 BTU would. At 8,000 BTU it sits sized for one room rather than an open-plan space.

• 8,000 BTU, cools up to 350 sq ft
• 53 dB low-mode noise rating
• 3 cooling and fan speeds with Auto Cool
• Auto restart after power outages

Who it's for

Renters and homeowners cooling a single bedroom or living room around 350 sq ft who want remote control and a set and forget auto restart after outages. Not a fit for anyone needing to cool more than one room or an open floor plan.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 3 cooling and fan speeds plus Auto Cool mode let the compressor cycle down once the room reaches temperature rather than running flat out, which is where the 53 dB low-mode figure comes from. The 24-hour timer and 4-way air deflection cover scheduling and directing airflow around furniture, and auto restart means a power outage will not leave the unit reset to factory defaults.
