I have purchased refurbished items before without issue. I chose this model because of the LG brand and the Overstock guarantee. Unfortunately, the unit did not perform consistently and had to be returned. The unit would blow cool air then warm air and then cool air. I had piped out the condensation water, so that was not the issue, although the tray they give you is really small. Overall, I would stay away from this unit. I am planning to purchase another unit (a new one) from Overstock.
The only thing wrong with this unit is the built in dehumidifier has a water resivour that is VERY small. The resivour will fill up in anywhere from 3 hours to 24 hours, depending on your relative humidity and AC settings. Once the resivour is full, the unit will stay on, but not fuction. It emits a lovely beeping noise unit you unplug it and take it outside to drain (50 lb. a/c Ide guess). If you dont enjoy a sound nights sleep or a constant regimine of taking your AC to the shower/deck to drain, I'de look elsewhere for an AC. The oscilation feature also decided to stop working about 2 weeks into instalation. The window vent is pretty flimsy. The remote control works well.
I have used this unit for a little relief from unusual high heat and humidity in northern NY. In a small bedroom it cools quite efficiently but not so in a larger area. However it is good at lowering the humidity in the room which makes it more comfortable and I have not had to dump the water pan often. The exhaust hose gets very hot when in use. Not sure if this is typical or not. I also think it is louder than my window unit.
I have wanted an AC unit for years and finally splurged on one. It was SO worth it. It makes a huge difference in our 3rd story bedroom. It was easy to install....I did it myself because my boyfriend wanted to wait til August to install and I did not! I love the timer, it's great to set it for an hour or two. It cools the bedroom wonderfully. Just what I was looking for. Very happy with this purchase.
Used the first day,very good product. delay start gets house cool by the time I get home.
I was excited to unpack and get it going so I can work on my hobbies in the garage. I turned it on and it started running in the cooling mode but it wasn't cool air coming out. I left it on to see if it would cool down over time. It did not and started displaying error code CH 03. According to the manual the evaporator and room temperature are less than 3 degrees- call a repair service. Very disappointed. O's customer service was responsive is sending a replacement. It will also be refurbished so I'm crossing my fingers it will work. It is a hassle to pack it up and take to UPS.
LG is impossible to deal with. Not many services are willing to go near their products for service. They are the absolute pits to deal with. Product was good for 1 year and then stopped cooling.
A friend of mine warned me that LG makes GREAT products except when it comes to air conditioners - I should have listened! But I read all the reviews and since Overstock has always been a winner for me went ahaed and ordered this item. At 60 degrees the only time it really cooled my 400 square foot room was in the morning & evenings when it's not hot (I live in Florida). But the biggest problem was the units "water full" alarm kept going off even when the plug was out and I was shaking the unit upside down!!! No matter what I did it would work for a few minutes and then stop because it was full of water - AND THAT'S WITH THE PLUG REMOVED! Returned it for a refund!!!
Saved my family and my job. Keeps the whole floor cool and lets us sleep.
I don't know how I survived so long without this product!
