Each includes a dual inverter compressor which makes them much quieter than normal window ac units.
My review will focus on the LG LW1517IVSM, with 14,000 BTU of power.

LG Dual Inverter Air Conditioner:
Dual inverter compressor is a new technology.
It’s built with twin rotors that work simultaneously to deliver faster cooling power + requires lower energy.
The dual inverter accounts for internal air-flow and is designed to decrease noise and vibrations — buyers are surprised how quietly it operates, especially compared to their previous model.
Certainly one of the best ultra quiet window air conditioner units.

Normal $150-250 window air conditioners operate between 50 and 62 decibels so you’ll certainly notice a difference w/ LG Dual Inverter AC units.

Buyers also confirm that it’s easy to install (and doesn’t require special tools or skills).
Installation: 10-15 minutes
