Nice unit!
This is our 3rd refurbished LG unit from Walmart and could not be more pleased. The other two units (10,000 BTUs each) are in their 5th year of operation and still going strong, so our experience with these refurbished units have been very good. This unit, at 12,000 BTUs, is our strongest one yet. We have had this unit for a month now. and it is as advertised. Very quiet for the amount of air it pushes, and it keeps a 500 sq ft area nice and comfortable. The air is cold coming of the unit - around 47- 48 degrees. No need to empty the water reservoir, even after a month of continuous use with some very humid days. Therefore, the self-evaporation system works well - as it does for our other 2 units as well. The unit came packaged very professionally, as if from factory. However, you could tell it was used. Nothing a little cleaning with mild soap and water did not solve. After cleaning, it looked like only a slightly used unit. No complaints there given the price and the fact it works like new. There are couple things to do to make sure these units work well and stay working: 1) After getting the unit, let it stand upright for 24-hrs before plugging it in and turning on - this allows refrigerant to settle properly just in case unit was stored on its side. 2) Make sure the exhaust hose is vented to the outside, and if needed, seal the areas where the hose attaches to AC and to the window bracket with tape. This eliminates any hot air, no matter how little, from escaping back into the room you are cooling. 3) Clean the air filters every month and keep intake vent areas clean of dirt every month as well - takes but a minute to do. 4) Keep the outside of unit clean to avoid any dirt getting into the electronics.

When i took it out of the box one of the sides that hold on the front panel was cracked. I wasn't too worried about because it was a refurbished unit. However, once I plugged it in after an hour or so it leaked really bad all over my carpet. I'm assuming its because it was a referb so not all that upset about it but i won't buy a referb again. Returning it as soon as I can.!

    LG A/C Refurb / Quality control needed
    Temperature button stopped working day 1 Unit cools room well but be aware this is a very loud unit. It's fine for me since I like to have noise when sleeping. It's also quite heavy so it won't be very portable if you want to move upstairs and downstairs. It does have wheels which makes it easy to move but obviously doesn't help when straits are involved. Overall I'm not satisfied with the quality since the buttons stopped working within a day. Also the remote did not work for me

    Satisfied Walmart ONLINE customer
    First I want to say please don't give up online shopping. You are doing a GREAT job. I think you have not given it a long enough chance. Purchase review: Convenience. Easy to find online. Arrived in good time, packaged well. Did not have to go to the store to pick it up. My husband is enjoying the air conditioner in his garage.

    Missing parts, but cools well
    My experience was similar to others: the unit was delivered with extensive scuffs and gouges, some broken plastic, and missing parts. I'm glad I read about the likelihood of this before buying, or I'd be pretty PO'ed. You're not buying a like-new unit; you're buying a used air conditioner with a functional warranty. Nevertheless, the unit seems mechanically solid and cools well. It's noisy, but no more so than the window air conditioner it's replacing.

    Being refurbished, I knew it wouldn't be perfect. Im okay with side panel being cracked but what disappointed me was that it was missing a caster. I figured I could just replace it but when I looked under the unit, the whole area where the caster would attached was broken off. Tried the unit, and it seems to work nicely.

    LG LP1217GSR It's Not what You want
    The machine makes more noise than a bad rock band. The unit's exhaust connection is shorter than it should be and the parts for the window exhaust are Not adequate even with using the provided sealing strips. The drains for water collection are problematic in that both need to be used which requires hose to the outdoors which means the garage door needs to be left open enough to allow this. The thermostat is for decoration because it does Not have any effect on the units cooling which is Not adequate for a smaller space than recommended. I have not decided yet if a return is going to happen but we're extremely disappointed with the units performance. Did I mention the noise is almost as loud as my portable generator?

    Do it
    It's refurbished but don't let that stop you from trying it out. If you don't like it then return it to Walmart. This is easy to install. The exhaust vent installs neatly against my window. The unit is cold enough for my bedroom. It has 2 speeds and rotating vents for circulation. Decent sized unit. Glad I took a chance

    easy to install and very effective.
    Easy to install. The screw does not seem to fit on the panel though, but I guess it's okay as a refurbished unit. And I easily found one that worked. I would give a five star. Very effective. Default 75 F, and it easily gets there. (My bedroom is kinda small though, only 87 square feet.

    DOESN'T WORK WELL, and must be MAILED back
    THIS IS GARBAGE! Bought it to replace a 5000 BTU window unit and didn't cool as well as that did, it's like having a fan on, don't waste your money OR your time! You can't return it to the store and it's VERY heavy and lugging it in, then having to rebox it and lug it back out into the car, lug it into the post office, really disgusted!
