- Recommended Room Size: 250 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
- DOE SACC Cooling Power: 6000 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)

Blows cold air!
Bought this a couple weeks ago. There weren't any reviews when I purchased so I really blindly purchased because it was the cheapest portable air conditioner I could find. PROs Blows cold air. Blasts cold air in an up down motion. Easy to install. Remote makes it convenient to turn on and off. CONs Super heavy. Was a pain to carry up stairs. You need to separate about a foot and a half from wall and window. Maybe all portable ac units require this but I didn't know that when I purchased. Would've been useful info to have when I purchased. Floor needs to be level or you hear noises. I have carpet so I needed a 2ft by 3ft piece of wood to place under ac unit to level the unit. The unit is pretty loud when it's on full power. If temp is close to what you set it to reach then ac unit isn't noticeably loud. But if its 85 and you set desired temp at 65 then unit is pretty loud. I have to increase volume of my TV when AC unit is loud. If its 70 and you set to 65 then ac unit is not loud at all. Overall I would recommend product because it works. I was worried product might break in a week but I've come to rely on it more and more. So far it's very dependable. Because of pandemic I've been working at in my bedroom but the heat made me lazy. This unit keeps me cool during my workouts. Everytime it blasts cold air when it's hot I'm like...this was so worth it.

Great portable AC
My old Best Buy bought Frigidaire air conditioner fell out the window and disintegrated so I needed a new one and did not want to deal with a window model again so I got this 6,000 btu Insignia portable a/c, my first one of its type. So far I like it.. it's easy to put the exhaust hose out the window.. this carries heat to the outside and the unit itself, while heavy, rolls around smoothly on wheels. The A/C can get pretty cold so I have to watch the temperature. I like how when you turn the a/c on the vent first rises and then the a/c starts. The remote that it comes with works well and has many functions. You can control the vent angle with the remote. You can also turn the LED lights on and off which is a thoughtful inclusion. The exhaust tube gets mildly warm but I don't think it has much effect on the cooling power of the a/c to be honest. So yeah, overall, I like it. It works good, no window dangers, is easy to transport and has a great price here at BB.

Great portable unit life saver.
Works very well. Quite and the wheels make it so easy to move to desired location. My moms a elderly person and she has porr circulation and she gets cold quickly. But when our central A/C went out and they could not repair because they did not have part on hand and it was 100° degrees days this summer . This monster portable ac cooled 2 rooms and a hallway. About 300sq feet. With assistance of a fan to move are greater distances. She would end up closing her door she got so cold. Really good product.
