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?

Keystone Air Conditioners

Keystone isn’t a brand that makes headlines — and that’s exactly its appeal. Often overshadowed by glossier competitors, it fills a critical role in the AC market: reliable, basic units that won’t drain your bank account. Keystone’s lineup includes a healthy variety of window units, a few through-the-wall options, and even dehumidifiers, all priced well below premium brands. You won’t find advanced features or connected apps here — just cold air, simple controls, and surprising performance-per-dollar. So, if you’re okay trading flair for function, Keystone might be your best-kept secret.
