Our takeThe 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.The size step for a living room up to 450 sq ft, in the lighter 62 lb top-down chassis with the same 22-36 in window fit as the 6,000. Its 50 dBA low fan step makes it a poor fit for a small bedroom.

Watch out forMidea sold the U2QWT and the recalled U1QWT with the same CEER ratings and near-identical titles; one digit separates them.LG's 1-year warranty applies only when bought from an LG authorized dealer; ask a third-party seller. LW1022IVSM is the sibling model with identical lg.com specs.
