In detail: LG Libero WZ09, ultra-quiet reversible split air conditioner 9000 BTU
The LG Libero WZ09 is built around the Korean group's Twin Rotary DC Inverter compressor technology, an evolution of the standard Inverter compressor able to modulate its output from 10% to 130% depending on the room's actual needs. This reversible fixed split air conditioner, rated at 2.5 kW (9,000 BTU/h) cooling and 2.75 kW heating, Class A++ cooling (SEER 6.1) and A+ heating (SCOP 4.0), targets bedrooms and offices where quiet running matters most.
The indoor noise level, advertised by LG at between 27 dB(A) minimum and 42 dB(A) in standard use, places this unit among the quietest in our fixed air conditioner selection, a strong argument for overnight bedroom use. R32 refrigerant, with a 520 g charge, equips this unit, made up of an indoor unit (WZ09AWN.SNU1) and an outdoor unit (WZ09AWU.SUU1), connected by a refrigerant line reaching up to 15 metres with a maximum elevation of 7 metres.
Built-in WiFi and the LG ThinQ app add a connected dimension to this unit, with a pre-conditioning feature based on the smartphone's location: the air conditioner can automatically start cooling or heating as you approach home, between 250 metres and 30 kilometres depending on the setting chosen, so the room is already at temperature when you walk in.
Like any fixed split air conditioner, installing the Libero WZ09 requires a certified professional to fit the units and handle the refrigerant gas, in line with current regulations. One thing worth checking before buying: this model's price has occasionally been flagged as higher than usual on certain listings, so comparing available prices is recommended.

Comparison
Around £650 to £1,100, the LG Libero WZ09 regularly comes up against the Daikin Sensira FTXF25A, another quiet fixed air conditioning reference, in searches like "LG vs Daikin air conditioner". Here is how the two compare, based on the public specifications of both manufacturers.
| Criterion | LG Libero WZ09 | Daikin Sensira FTXF25A |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling capacity | 2.5 kW (9,000 BTU/h) | 2.5 kW (9,000 BTU/h) |
| Reversible (heating) | Yes, A+ (SCOP 4.0) | Not specified |
| Indoor noise level | 27 to 42 dB(A) | From 20 dB(A) |
| Connectivity | WiFi, LG ThinQ app | Not specified |
| Price observed | ≈£650 | ≈£1,099 |
In short, the Daikin Sensira keeps a slight edge on pure quietness according to manufacturer figures, but with no heating function or connectivity, at a notably higher price. The LG Libero WZ09 adds reversibility and connected control at a very similar noise level, for a more reasonable investment.
Our tester's verdict: Christophe Delpuech
The handful of reviews available for this LG Libero WZ09 are unanimously positive (5 out of 5), though their small number (4 reviews so far) calls for caution before generalising. The Twin Rotary DC Inverter compressor, an LG technology that modulates output from 10% to 130% unlike a standard Inverter, is the model's main technical selling point, and early feedback confirms running that feels particularly smooth and gradual. The indoor noise level, advertised by the manufacturer at between 27 and 42 dB(A) depending on setting, would make it one of the quietest fixed air conditioners in our selection if these figures hold up over sustained use. The smartphone-geolocation-based pre-conditioning function, via the LG ThinQ app, which triggers cooling or heating as you approach home, is a rare feature at this price point. One thing to watch: this model has occasionally been flagged at a higher-than-usual price on certain listings, so comparing available prices before buying is worthwhile. As with any fixed air conditioner, installation by a certified professional remains essential.
Frequently asked questions: LG Libero WZ09, ultra-quiet reversible split air conditioner 9000 BTU
It modulates output over a wider range (10% to 130% according to LG), for finer temperature control and generally smoother, quieter running than a standard Inverter compressor.
Via the LG ThinQ app, the air conditioner can detect the user's smartphone approaching (between 250 m and 30 km depending on the setting) and automatically start cooling or heating before arrival home.
Yes, thanks to its reversible heat pump function rated A+ (SCOP 4.0), it can deliver 2.75 kW of heating capacity, alongside its 2.5 kW cooling capacity in summer.
This air conditioner's price can vary noticeably by period and has been flagged as above the usual average on some listings. It is worth comparing available prices at the time of purchase.
