How does it work? Is it loud? Is it reliable?

Hello. The unit is very reliable and quiet. LG is very easy to deal with if you were to have a warranty issue typically sending a Tech out the same day.

It's not bad as far as noise goes. It's a white noise that doesn't bother me. The first one I bought rattled so bad I had to return it. As far as reliable, it works very well. I just didn't like how everything that was included with my last Ac, was an extra charge. They charged extra for the flimsy sleeve, and the just as flimsy grille on the back of the unit ! I resented the slimy marketing scheme they used to get their hooks deeper into the consumer. If I remember correctly, these two items added 100.00 extra to the cost of the unit ! If I didn't need mine in a hurry, I would have shopped around a little more. It's not bad as far as noise goes. It's a white noise that doesn't bother me.

Yes, for me it is excellent. I am loving mine. It does not have quite as much volume as I would like sometimes, but I listen to my music too loud anyway and the sound is good.

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

My wife mainly uses it, and sometimes the kids mess with the volume during the day, and when it is set high, the alarm startles us. So yes, it can be loud enough if you want. I think it has a progressive function or setting where it gets louder and louder if you do not turn it off. Hope that helps.

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

No I don't think it's overly loud. I use it alot and the hum doesn't bother me. In NYC I have more noise with the windows open. I am very happy with this model.

yes, it does work well. It is a rather large unit compare to other ones on the market.

I love mine! works great and you can leave it on all the time without any problems with feedback. I recommend it.

You can definitely hear it running but I don't find it problematic in anyway. Works really well and I have been pleased.

It works effectively. Not noisy at all. If I need to listen to see if it is still operating, I have to lie down on the ground and put my ear to the device.

It actually works great. And especially for the money. Tone is good. Volume is good. IF you have a problem with it (which almost never happens) you can fix if yourself. If you can't fix it, the company will replace at No Charge. You can't go wrong!! Dean

The fan that comes with it is okay. Its louder than one you would buy separately. But it does work. I opted for buying a different fan mainly off of the noises.

I would give it a chance. I keep mine next to me on my nightstand. It does an amazing job at covering over other loud noises, and the volume control in it can make it really LOUD! I even have a belligerent man in the apartment complex across the street from me who comes out and holds extremely loud conversations at 11pm, 12pm, 1am, ALL THE TIME. I can't even hear him anymore because this machine does such a good job.

It has a nice full sound, not super loud... Should be fine, it's louder than it's size indicates... Don't expect high volumes

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

It is not bad, I use it in our garage which is under our house and when I leave the garage and go into the basement I close the door and I don't hear it in the laundry room. I have it on a Formica toped bench, it doesn't walk. Seems to get a little louder the longer it runs so if you only run it for an hour or so, should be Ok. Depends a lot on your neighbors though, it's been 25 years since I lived in an apartment, but I do remember some neighbors could be a problem over anything.

My experience is that it's not reliable, I've had mine for 10 months & I'm having connection issues(crackling/static) with the phone jack that started about 3 months ago. The jack is rarely used , about 10 times before the issue started. Also, I just recently starting having issues with the volume control (crackling/static + drop-out in the right channel.) The volume knob is also rarely used as I control volume with my source...
