Is LG a good brand?, how about Haier?, anyone care to comment?

[Pegi]

If talking about window units, yes....LG and the Hampton Bay units made by LG at home depot, at least here....5 year parts and labor warranty.....very good units, and all of the window units with the Kenmore name on them all are made by LG now also...now the smaller units believe 5,000 and 6,000 btu are to be exchanged by the customer now, are not to be repaired...Fedders has done the same on their small units, one year exchange warranty, but believe all of the LG now has the 5 year full warranty either way bought at home depot. If not bought at home depot has two years parts and labor and 5 years compressor only... This may have changed on the small units however, would have to look at the new listings on their site to be sure...never heard of the other brand you listed..

oops typo Haier is what I meant

[Pegi]

Haier, no one will work on them, cannot get parts, I would not buy anything with the Haier name on it...

I wouldn't buy Haier or LG, I would stick to Whirlpool, even though those are now made in China.

I would agree with you on the WP units, but now after seeing the fan motors last 1-2 years, I do not recommend them anymore..just like the new Fedders motors.

Hey,

I don't know about brands but I'm all for window ac's. i mean like if you are in your bedroom and you have the ac on,you are not only cooling your room but your whole house.Especially at night when you're retiring.you know how much money you would save on your ac bill if you were only using a window ac.

Correct, I have central heat and air in my home....however I also have window units in both bedrooms and another larger one thru the wall in the Den since it is located on the west side of the home, lots of shade trees but it is still west and gets hot in there in the summer in the afternoons/evenings...so when me and the doggies go to bed I will turn on the window unit in the bedroom and turn the central off, I will run the a/c in the den in the afternoons to cool it off while turning the central up to say 82, saves a lot of $$$$.  Plus if the central happens to go down you sure have some cool rooms to go into unlike someone who just has central a/c, they are stuck untill it is repaired...I have always believed, you can go to a laundry O'Mat, but somehow just cannot go to an A/C  O'Mat...

Speaking of LG, we cleaned a Kenmore, two GE's and one Haier window unit just this last week....every one of them were made by LG Electronics...well add to that list, we repaired or are working on some Maytags, Climettes, Fedders units also, the Maytag and Climettes are under the Fedders warranty, these were also made by LG....believe they are taking over the world...

[applianceman18007260692]

I aint never heard of a climette

[Pegi]

They seem to sell gobs of the Climettes here, those and the Maytag and about 10 others are under the Fedders umbrella including Airtemp, the Maytag and Climettes have a 5 year warrranty on the whole unit...but sure looks like they get LG to make them, have one in the shop right now, Climette that has on the tag Manufactured by a company in Canada and made in China...lol..we just never know anything these days of where the are actually made.  The different brands are most likely reginal around the USA.

Perhaps the closest thang to that is going to the cinema... where it has good AC. My booth has been promised AC in the renovations being made over the summer, pity that I have to lay off of that work until september... in the meantime, I have to do something else. Well the AC is really welcome, in the last two years, it has been so hot inside already in march, and long into november, that T shirts are just about too much. And perhaps it will then yield better patron counts in the summer.
