300 Sq. Ft Portable Air Conditioner

I loved this portable air conditioner when I first got it, but after using it only six times it stop working. I tried my best to get it back running and thought I had did so, but as soon as the hot sun hit my windows the air conditioner turn itself off again and again. Unfortunately I will have to return it tomorrow and exchange it for a new one, because Insignia discontinued all of their portable air conditioners after I bought mine. Ugh

We bought this for a 280sq ft upstairs room. It's 2 rooms but there is not door between so we had hoped it was enough. It wasn't because the air couldn't travel to the other side. We still use a small window unit on the opposite side room and there is no problem cooling. This works very quickly and has not seemed to up the electric bill as much as using 2 window units.

This AC is a good model/brand for a reasonable price. Very convenient and easy to setup (plug & play). The only issue I ran into is that the AC struggles a bit to get to the exact temp you set it up to be at. It also fills with water quickly (unless mine is defective). Unlike similar models/brands, this one does not go down to 60F. The dry feature fills up the water tank within a few hours (once again mine could possibly be defective) but it gives you the "max AC". The unfortunate operations of this product is the reason it got 4 stats not 5.

This air conditioner keeps my small apt cool. I was able to set up exhaust out sliding window by buying door insulation and having a stick cut for safety so window can't be opened. I do wish the low fan speed was slower and higher speeds can be a little noisy. Mine has a metal rattling sound when at higher speeds that's annoying. It is something inside where two pieces of metal are vibrating but I'm not going to try and take it apart to fix it. I think this is much easier to set up then a window unit. Overall happy with purchase.

PROs 1. It functions as I need it to 2. was easy to set up 3. was a reasonable price CONs 1. I have standard 36" window and the window adapter kit had to be trimmed by almost 6" to fit. I happened to have my hand saw in the next room so it was an easy fix for me. 2. The buttons on the remote are VERY small. Survivable problem. 3. The unit is moderately loud. Isn't much of a problem unless you're trying to have a conversation when it's set at "medium" or "high".

I shopped several stores before Best Buy. I wanted a larger unit(1400 but) but no one had one. So I settled for this unit. Instructions are bad ! Some attachment screws were missing but only 2 so no big deal. It works good , cools a 350 cubic foot upstairs room. NC is humid and the water storage tank filled in about a hour and a half. Had to go buy a hose hook up to the drain, buy a container lower then the drain. 8-10 hours about 2-3 gallons of water. Purchased extended warranty. The factory warranty requires you ship this heavy 75 pound unit to a repair facility at your cost. So far I like this unit, cools good. I would recommend this unit, just be aware of the water problem.

Works better than most air conditioners and keeps our bedroom nice and cool. After 5 years the hose comes off sometimes but easy to replace or we’ve just taped it. Will buy again

Works like a charm keeps my room at the perfect temp and has a timer
