Our scoreSCORE6.0 / 10SCORE7.5 / 10
Our takeThe size up for a living room near 440 sq ft, in the same 24 in chassis at CEER 10.6. Oversized for a typical bedroom, where it can short cycle.The December 2024 U revision, not recalled, at CEER 16 with ENERGY STAR Most Efficient status. About 6% less power than the CEER 15 V1UWT for the same cooling, which is nice but not worth chasing a hard-to-find listing.

Watch out forLG strongly recommends a new LG sleeve; if you reuse an old one without redirecting its rear louvers, a failure isn't covered. Warranty is 1 year parts and labor from an LG authorized dealer. Amazon titles it 10,000 BTU; LG rates it 9,800.Midea sold the U2QWT and the recalled U1QWT with the same CEER ratings and near-identical titles; one digit separates them.
