Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

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!

I have this unit installed for a couple of weeks now. It's pretty quiet compared to my older De'longhi. Ice cold air thats great for a small to regular size bedroom. One concern I have is the amount of condensation which drains out the hose. It seems to be more than my older unit. It would be very convenient if you can run the hose outside the window so you don't have to constantly be worried about the water building up in a bucket. This unit also comes with everything you need to install. Insulation tape and foam included. Having the remote control is a plus! Overall I'm happy with the unit.

This summer has been pretty nasty. Even with central air, my office upstairs was still incredibly warm. I picked this up after returning one from Amazon that was much more expensive. This unit from Best Buy surpassed all expectations. It works incredibly well, is easy to navigate, and keeps the entire office incredibly cool. It’s definitely a louder unit, but has this awesome “swing” mechanism that moves up and down while blowing cold air out to make sure it gets the entire room. It’s really slick :). In any event, this is definitely not a small unit. It’s as big as the one we returned to Amazon. It works really well, though. If you want an easy to install portable A/C, this is the one for you. Thanks!

So far AMAZING!! I’ve lived in homes with air-conditioning my whole life so I finally moved into a home yes I have a pool but no air conditioning!!! Me and my husband were going crazy trying to figure out how to keep our house cool so I finally came across this portable air conditioner. I have a pretty decent size bedroom so I figure 6000 BTUs would be perfect and let me tell you this portable AC is amazing! I love that the air conditioner has a swing flap so when you turn it on it opens before the AC actually turns on which is a pretty cool feature! It’s not very loud it’s about a standard sound for a portable AC which is normal! The first day I got it I put it at 64 because our house was super hot so I wanted to make sure it cool down our room pretty fast within an hour I had to put it up to 73 because it made my room so chilly I was so happy wotj this purchase! I’m definitely gonna be purchasing a few more of these for my home I highly recommend anyone looking to save a buck and keep their house perfectly cool and comfortable!! Also I forgot to mention very very easy installation!! Super quick it was up and in the window in about seven minutes highly recommend!!

This nice appliance was never used because I have a house full of boxes, presents, more boxes, BIG boxes, and unassigned furniture, appliances, decor, etc., and extra boxes, due to the big time remodeling job to which my home was subject. Thus, there's not a lot of room for movement. Still, I bought the portable rolling AC unit because, at the time, my rooftop Rheem's thermostat went out, and my cat and I were suffering unspeakably from the heat. Naturally, I was hoping against hope that it would fit in my home and move around with me from kitchen to bedroom to living room to office, etc., with ease. Additionally, just moving the unit out of my car took two people and over an hour, it was that heavy. This meant I couldn't lift the behemoth up over my head to move it from room to room in case there was a traffic jam amidst the boxes, furniture and other imposing stuff strewn hither and yon. In the end, I had to return it to the good folks at Best Buy, on the same day I purchased it. Should have mixed in reading glasses, a measuring tape and more brainmass before leaving for the store in the first place. The reviews were excellent, the price point fair, and it's a nice-looking appliance. I would surely recommend it based on those 3 factors, even though it never left the box it came in. My precious cat and I suffered through yet another week of 100+ degree temps inside; that is until the new thermostat was finally installed. The remodeling job, however, continues.

This portable air conditioner works great in our garage as our doggies sleep in garage overnight. I just purchased a second unit for the master bedroom since this unit is easy to install and maintain. It cools the room down quickly. Very little condensation just need to check the water drain as needed. So far once a week but no not used on a daily bases. Need to work on permanent installation had to do a quick set up because we had to go on vacation last minute and of course the doggies had to be comfortable.

It is amazing especially for renters due to ease of installation. No special tools are required except perhaps a single screwdriver. This unit does cool the room (10 x 11 ft) relatively quickly. One downside you should be aware is that this thing gets quite noisy. I measured it to produce 60 dB on low fan settings. Other than that, just keep in mind that this unit isn't self evaporating. You will need to drain once every month or two. I recommend looking for another brand IF you need quiteness.

My AC unit in my bi-level is ending its life. Every year I get a new capacitor installed. After some research, and limit on how much I could afford, I came across this unit! This is by far the best investment I have made for my home! Constant cool air coming out and keeps the upstairs the temperature of what it’s supposed to be, sometimes it gets even cooler than what I have my unit set on! Don’t think about if you need this. If you need cool air with the SIMPLEST set up that the most uncoordinated person can set up, this is for you! It even has wheels that you can move from room to room if needed!

Works great, has been running pretty much constantly for 2.5 years. Very easy to clean, but I would recommend having a bucket for the dehumidifier water, as moving it to drain is a bit of a hassle.

Got this for less than 1/2 price, "open box excellent"." Using for bedroom that has only a sliding glass door, no window. I built a vent tube bracket holder from a wood board, something I've done 3 times now for other friends in the apt building. Approximate cost was $60 for a planed poplar board and weatherstripping. I'm a bit of a handy man, so I already have tools to cut the hole etc... I am very surprised that the (no window but 6ft sliding balcony door) issie has not been addressed by ANYONE? Every seller or big-box store offers some kinda flimsy excuse for an adaptor for a horizontally sliding window. But noone has thought to address the (sliding door only) issue. But I digress. The solid wood option also insulates from the outside and is much sturdier than plastic.. I also wrapped an old blanket around the vent pipe to further insulate the room from heat. The unit blows great volume and it seems cold enough and accurate to within 3 degrees from across the room. I feel like it is very quiet, as AC's go. The compressor has a little hum but nothing annoying, no sudden odd noises as turns on and off. Fan is also quiet, but at high speed noticable "air rushing" sound, which I actually find soothing as" white noise" to sleep by. The operating instructions are a little vague but if you are "techy-inclined" youl figure it out. Took me a while to figure out how to get the fan to operate continuously, until I READ THE PANEL (duh, sometimes I miss the obvious). It was driving my crazy with "turning off" before I realized this, even when not in "auto mode".. The summer heat hasnt fully arrived yet but I am confident this unit will cool my 12x15 room just fine.. Been using it afternoons to cool off and set at 75 and go to sleep by it, partly to drown out city srteet noise. When the temp cools outside, the compressor doesnt run at all, or very little.

Cools ok, I wish it would oscillate side to side. If you change the temperature on the unit the remote does not change. From the first time I turned this on there has been a weird shaking sound coming from what I imagine is the condenser adding to an already very loud unit. The fan continually blows even when it's not actively cooling just draining electricity.

So far, so good. I've used it for about 4 weeks now (mostly because the pollen has been terrible and an open window is a bad thing for me!). It's easy enough to set up and the directions are easy to follow. It's noisy--but I like the steady hum of it as I sleep. I like that you can turn the lights off on it! And it comes with enough extra foam pieces to make a snug fit in the window with leftovers for next year's installation, too. Here's hoping it will really cool the bedroom when the temps hit +90F. TIP: put it in some sort of "pan" just in case it leaks. I used a really large round plastic one.

Helpful and efficient unit for extra cooling of a room on the hottest days of the summer. The unit comes with the hardware to attach the vent to most windows. My only complaints are it is a little louder than some other units and the inability to turn off the loud beep for every button press.

Great portable air conditioner. I bought two of this . A little loud but it cools my living room fast. It’s easy to set up.

This unit have been life saving. We have a large rental house and our master bedroom is above a poorly insulated addition and garage so when the whole house is cool our room was still warm. But with this unit every inch of our bedroom is cold. It even provides cool air to other rooms when our door is open. The air that comes out is powerful and always cold. It takes minutes to set up and the plastic window slats keeps the warm air from outside from coming in. I was worried about too much warm air coming in but these blocked it from coming in. I have had other units that required a nylon seal and warm air still comes in. Then a week later our air conditioner unit went out and it took a week to get parts. So we bought two more to help cool our house while we got parts to fix our air conditioner unit. Without these units we would have been very miserable and probably had to leave our house while the AC unit was getting fixed.

There are many benefits of this style unit. Easy install, remote controlled, and on wheels for movement w/in 6ft of the window. I cannot imagine ever wanting the traditional window unit instead. Came with easy installation instructions and kit. Works great so far.
