QuestionHow long is the power cord for Insignia model # NS-ACO8PWH1? The specs say 6 inches but that sounds way too short. If that is the case can you use a heavy duty 12 gauge appliance extension chord? Thanks for your help!
Asked 2 years ago by Lee1.
- Answer Thank you for inquiring about our Insignia™ - 350 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner, Lee1! Apologies for the confusion, the Power cord length is 74.8 in. (1.9m). Additionally, for safety purposes, it is not advisable to use an extension cord to power the unit. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions/concerns, feel free to reach out. Have a nice day! - James | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285

QuestionCan you adjust the air flow out of the machine mine is going straight up
Asked 2 years ago by Bobby.
- Answer If it is actually straight up, I would think it needs to be returned. If not all the way up, did you try the 'swing' button? It my be locked in the up position from a random hit on the swing button. Even if you turn it off and back on it will still be locked until you unlock it.

QuestionWhat are the specifications for the window size? My window is 36" wide, will it work? What holds the vent in place in the window?
Asked 2 years ago by Natalie.
- Answer That’s a pretty standard window size. The adapter will fit a pretty wide range of window widths. It comes with screws to screw the window into place as a security measure but I just closed the window down on the adapter without screws.

Questionhello, i just got my unit yesterday. the unit will kick in hard with the ac, then around 10-15min later kick into what i’m guessing is just fan, then kick back on with ac. is this normal? is it just regulating temperature?
Asked 3 years ago by sethves.
- Answer This is normal operation. But if it happens to frequently you may have purchased a unit that is too large for the space. When it comes to AC, bigger is not better. You need to size the unit appropriately for the space it is cooling.

QuestionMy window is higher then the drain. So the hose goes up before going out the window. Will it fill the hose enoguh to drain out the window, or should I raise the portable AC up so it is higher then the window?
Asked 3 years ago by jp933.
- Answer If you are talking about the hose that connects to your window, then, yes, it can be higher than the air conditioner. It only fills with hot air, never any water. If you are talking about the drain for the dehumider function, I don't know because I haven't used that function yet but I think you just hook that up to any container to collect water then discard the water.
