Insignia™ - 250 Sq. Ft. 6,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - White

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.

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.

I am so glad I purchased this portable AC unit! It keeps my master bedroom cold duing these super hot days no problem. The remote to control the unit is super simple and is used to control the thermostat when it's on auto mode. The set-up was easy but you will need to buy a bigger vent cover if you use it on a sliding glass door like I did. My electric bill has not gone up like some people claim I use it almost 24/7 because I work nights. It is kinda loud when it's on full blast but oddly soothing when you're falling asleep. You can adjust the fan speed if you wanna be cool and watch TV so you don't have to turn the TV so loud or if the fan is to loud for you. Vents are quick to clean off too. If you wanna beat the heat and save some money on your electric bill buy it!

I purchased this AC unit in preparation for the summer heat waves & fire season that has become notorious in the PNW. I decided to install it in my bedroom, because I tend to be a hot sleeper. The instructions and materials included made the installation process seamless. It includes everything that you need to create a seal for your window, no additional pieces required. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase. It keeps my bedroom cool and has a variety of settings so that you don’t have to keep it running when it’s unnecessary. The AC mode is louder than a traditional fan, but if you like white noise, it shouldn’t be an issue. I highly recommend this product!

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.
