Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.2 / 10
Our takeSame ClearView shell as the inverter sizes, but a fixed-speed rotary compressor at CEER 11.4 and no ENERGY STAR listing. We'd skip it for a bedroom and buy an inverter unit at this size instead.LG's current 8,000-class inverter, ENERGY STAR at CEER 15 with in-home warranty service. It's a bigger 85 lb slide-in/out chassis, and LG doesn't publish its window range, so measure before you buy.

Watch out forLooks identical to the inverter PHNT10CC and PHNT12CC; only the model number tells you it's fixed-speed. GE's warranty is 1 year replace, repair or refund, with no labor coverage; inside the retailer's return window you go back to the store.LG's 1-year warranty applies only when bought from an LG authorized dealer; ask a third-party seller. Owner reports of 5-8°F wrong room readings concern the 2017-2022 LG models; the 2024 units have little owner history yet.
