The 6 Best 10000 BTU Window Air Conditioners As Of July, 2020 (And 7 Other Models)

Promising to cool rooms of up to 450 square feet (as most 10000 BTU window ACs do), the LG LW1016ER comes with a 2.7-pint hourly dehumidifying rate and a 12.1 Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), the latter being quite favorable, coming from an air conditioner with its kind of BTU rating -- lower-rated ACs are usually the ones that boast high efficiency ratios. Adding to its efficiency features is its 75-dollar annual cost, which makes the 90-dollar costs of some of its rivals sound way too costly. It measures 14.5 inches high and 23.63 inches wide, dimensions that seem average in this particular AC sub-category.

What sets it apart from most of its 10000 BTU rivals, though, is its 52dBA maximum noise level, which is desirably-low, compared to the 58-60dBA noise ratings of several comparable ACs listed here at Alphachooser. As a result, most of this 4-star unit's 3958 reviewers praised it for apparently running quieter than a lot of other energy-efficient 10000 BTU window ACs. Some short descriptions from its enthused reviewers include it being super quiet and not vibrating scarily while cooling a relatively large bedroom.

As for its downsides, a decent number of buyers complained about this window-mounted air conditioner's fan. Some groused about its plastic fan not being sturdily built, while a few reported that the fan blade broke off internally after only a couple of months of decent performance. The unhappiest reviewers, however, mention that the units they received arrived broken from the get-go and that the brand's customer support was horrendous, but after giving its reviews a closer look, it seems like this model has a typical mix of bad and good reviews not particularly worse than others in its rank, suggesting that these experiences may have been exceptions.
