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?

Whirlpool Air Conditioners

Whirlpool is a household brand — not just in the U.S., but globally — known for dishwashers, fridges, and laundry machines. When it comes to air conditioners, it plays a quieter role, offering a line of window, portable, and wall units under its name (often through licensed manufacturers). While it’s not pushing the envelope on smart tech or inverter efficiency, Whirlpool ACs focus on reliable, consistent cooling and approachable design, usually at mid-tier pricing. For those who value function over flash, there’s something quietly reassuring about that.
