Estimated Power Draw
660–700 W at normal operation (much less than larger 230V models).
Running cost will be modest: if electricity is ₹8/kWh, 1 hour of use = ₹5–6 only.

Energy Saver Mode
turns off compressor & fan when set temperature is reached, then cycles fan to check conditions → further lowers power usage.

Pros

• High efficiency: Dual-inverter design + high CEER means lower power consumption, especially in partial load or when not pushing full output.
• Quieter operation: Especially in sleep / low modes (≈ 44 dB), good for bedrooms or places where noise is a concern.
• Smart control & convenience features: WiFi + app + voice control, timer, auto-restart; gives good user control and ability to schedule or remotely switch on/off.
• Even air distribution: 4-way deflection helps in cooling a room more uniformly.
• Good cooling capacity for its voltage class (115V): 8,000 BTU gives decent cooling without needing higher voltage.
• Useful extra features: Filter alert, washable filter, multiple fan/cooling speeds give flexibility and lower maintenance.

Cons / Trade-Offs

• Still not whisper-quiet at high settings: At full power / high fan, noise (≈ 54 dB) may be noticeable in quieter spaces.
• Size & depth: At ~24.5 in depth, mounting / window fit needs checking; possibly large projection from window.
• Power draw when cooling heavily: Even though efficient, as with any AC, running at higher loads or in hot climate will draw more power; savings are relative.
• Upfront cost: Smart + inverter units generally cost more than simpler non-inverter or fixed speed ACs.
• No heating mode: This model seems cooling only. If heating is required, you'd need a different unit.
• Dependency on WiFi/smart features: For some, these add convenience; for others, if unreliable or unnecessary, they may not add value. (Also potential complexity in troubleshooting.)

Conclusion

The LG LW8022IVSM is a very compelling option if you want a mid-capacity window AC that balances performance, efficiency, and convenience.
