Are the inside walls of the unit plastic or styrofoam (when you look through the vent)?

My 2021 LG 10,000 BTU has no styrofoam inside. There are some open cell foam strips on the chassis walls to dampen vibration. I don’t think they will be an issue.

Does it have those sliding panels at the side ?

It does but beware, THEY ARE SHORT! Max window width for this air conditioner would be about 31 inches.

Does anybody get a loud rattling noise in the grill? The units vibrations are transferred to the front and its very loud rattling.

My 2021 10K BTU had zero rattles. The only thing I hear is a very steady PLEASING white noise whoosh of the fan.
I can barely hear the compressor when it cycles.

Minimum window width?

I believe the specs say 21″. Mine is 20 7/8″ and it fits just fine. The unit is only about 18″ wide, but there are sleeves on each side that adjust to ensure a tight seal between the machine and the window. The extra space required is to accommodate them.

Which is width, 26″ or 28″?

Width is 26″
Height is 17″.6875
Depth is 28″

Can this be installed through the wall instead of in a window?

Absolutely, I installed mine this past Saturday, works like a charm.

is there an energy saving button?

Yes there is a button.

Does it have auto restart if power goes off

Yes

What mounting bracket do I use for l g15,000 btu air conditioner?

The brackets it comes with work just fine

what is the wattage?

Since the specs show 7.7 amps for this air conditioner, then the watts should be about 770.

NOTE
• Some functions may not be supported, depending on the model.
