LG Air Conditioners

LG has spent decades building its brand on sleek, high-tech appliances — and its air conditioners are no exception. Originating from South Korea, LG entered the U.S. AC market with a clear goal: merge cooling with modern smart features, ultra-quiet operation, and inverter-driven energy savings. Flagship models like the LW1019IVSM and LW1517IVSM have earned praise from review platforms and consumer guides, and the brand has carved out a niche in “smart window ACs.” But under the glossy surface, LG’s lineup comes with tradeoffs — especially in value, build consistency, and tech reliability. So the question is: does LG’s tech-first approach deliver more comfort, or more complexity?
Honeywell Air Conditioners

When you hear “Honeywell,” you probably think Portable humidifiers or Portable air purifiers — not window units. Honeywell’s air conditioner focus is squarely on portables, and even on their official website, you won’t find window ACs listed as part of their core lineup. Still, a handful of Honeywell-branded window units pop up through third-party retailers — and they stick to the same no-fuss, practical design that defines most Honeywell products. Some of their units are built by OEM partners rather than Honeywell itself. They don’t compete in the high-tech race, but their models deliver comfort in familiar, friendly packaging. So is it just a name play, or does the performance back it up?
