Received via UPS, Amazon Prime 2-day delivery. Took 3 days, but arrived intact, and no physical damage whatsoever to box or contents. Pristine condition. Took a few moment to find all the pieces, they cleverly package one of the plastic hose-to-widow piece under the packaging inserts, almost through it away. Make sure you have all pieces listed in manual, before dumping box.
Easy window inset, in my SRO-type, small place here in California. My room would reach 78-80 degrees regularly with all the tech running in here. My PC and video card kick out a lot of heat - jokingly it is rather convenient during cold, winter months. During Indian Summer, I have to shut it all down to avoid damage.
Since installing the LG 8,000 BTU portable - I can easily remove it and put it away during the cold months, and setup quickly during the hot months. It can be kind of loud during full-power operation, so I usually set it on Low Fan setting. Perfect for my size room, cools down quickly and set for 73 degrees when I'm going to sleep at night - as goes into a cycle where the compressor to air conditioner will turn off and just slow fan setting will kick in. Love it, sleep like a baby with the fan white-noise.
I don't know if it my imagination but the air seems filtered and cleaner than before - removes a lot of dust and odors too.
Convenient, compact, affordable, and easy to use. I am very pleased with this purchase. No 103 degree suffering for me, I'll be chilling at 68 degrees with a cold beer.

So far, so great... it's chilly in here!!!
UNBOXING: Not bad. The unit arrived today in its original LG box, no exterior box, but luckily it was unscathed. Unboxing would've been easier if I realized first that the box could simply be pulled up from the top to reveal the unit... I figured it out, but only after I made a mess in the living room.DOES IT WORK?: YES, this unit has cooled down my stuffy, sweltering hot bedroom to a comfortable, downright chilly, 70 degrees on an 85 degree day! It WORKS![Background: I live in a second story, treetop view condo. Lots of light through the many windows and great shade trees in the building. No A/C needed in most of my home because of the great cross breeze. But the room this unit is installed in has two windows that don't face out toward any other windows. So, no cross breeze or air circulation.]EASE OF INSTALLING?: 3.5 out of 5 stars. The directions were clear and the online video from the LG site was helpful. It took me about and hour from unboxing to completely installed & running. I did it by myself, so may go quicker with help.BUT attaching the vent hose to the part that slides into the window panel is tricky. The directions make sense, corkscrewing it on counter clockwise. However, once I had everything connected as per the manual and went to reposition the unit into its exact location, the hose fell right out of the window diffuser part, just completely disconnected.So... TIP: just do the connect to the window panel part last. If I had to do it over I would: set up the window panel, connect the hose to the diffuser on the unit end and lock that into place, then plug it in, position it exactly where you want it, then connect the last diffuser to the window end of the hose and then that to the window panel and fasten in place with the screw provided for safe measure, and finally power it on.NOISE LEVEL?: Loud, like a large fan on High. I don't mind it, I like the white noise to drown out other noises at night because I'm a light sleeper. However, if you require silence at night, this may not be the unit for you.LOOK?: Just like the picture. Sleek, clean white glossy finish on the front and grey on the back. Streamlined control panel, flush with the unit.REMOTE?: Yes, very easy to use and includes a Swing feature to have the panes move up and down to assist with air circulation. Very nice feature!Overall, very nearly a 5 star rating with a little shaved off for the difficulty with the hose as mentioned. This is a very early review, but I will definitely return and edit if necessary (fingers crossed!)

As with most things with small wheels, it doesn't move that easily on carpet. Due to the hose length, or should I say shortness, we had no placement options. Hose length is 5' (60") when pulled straight out, but in practice is shorter. LG says you cannot extend or use a longer hose. Where it's placed means the remote doesn't work from the far side of the bed as the sensor is located on the front of the unit where the LG logo is, so it's too low to detect the sensor. The remote is not back-lit so you can't see it in the dark. Top louvers are a good choice. A unit with front louvers means the air flow would be at the level of the mattress.
No question it's somewhat loud on high fan speed and louder with the louver swing on. Keep in mind it's a portable a/c unit, so you can't expect quiet. On low with no swing did not keep us awake. We use the timer to automatically turn it on mid-afternoon. At bedtime we change the fan to low, turn the swing off, and set the timer to turn off after however many hours we want. All the sleep option does is turn the fan to low and set it to turn off in 8 hours so it's pretty much useless. Too bad there's no memory to keep your timer on/off settings rather than have to set it every day.
If this unit keeps functioning the way it should later on in the summer when it'll be way hotter than now, we'll probably get a second one for the other bedroom. My hope is we don't have the same issue the one star reviewer had, that being that it works this summer but when we pull it out next year it's dead....
