Insignia™ - 250 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner - White

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.

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.

This AC unit was definitely a good buy. I use it to cool down my garage. I live in Texas where temperatures can be 100+. It def works and I would advise anyone to purchase it.

Seemed great when i first got it 2 weeks ago. Seemed colder at first than now but I could be wrong. When I first got it humidity wasnt as high and temps wernt as high. Im using it in an unisulated shed that is 160sq ft with vaulted ceilings. Id say its equals around 200 sq ft. No insulation! 2 weeks ago youd have ice coming off the walls but now temp outside is 95 with high humidity and it can not keep up. Going to try today leaving it on all day to see if it takes moisture out of the air and keep up if its running non stop. I might go to a larger one. I will say the unit is nice and it does blow cold.

Works exactly has advertised and works very well at cooking media room. This is a room with a lot of electronics and afternoon full sun. I recommend this to anyone who needs a way to cool one room and save money from cooking entire house.

Great ROI i feel like can drag it to 2 rooms and flow of air is phenomenal.

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.

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.
