A:AnswerNo. Electronics require heat and cooling consistently. The components may dissemble under harsh environment conditions. If you must, bundle and keep dry.
A:AnswerI posted this same question yesterday & insignia directed me to call them.
I haven't done so as of yet but perhaps you should give them a call before discarding the pieces.
A:AnswerI don't see why not. It uses a standard plug for power. The only thing you will notice is more heat in your apartment from it, but it shouldn't be an excessive amount.
A:AnswerHi! The steps and information about how to defrost your unit are available on the user manual, page 7 of this product. You can locate the user manual on the "Manuals & Guides" section of the product's website.

A:AnswerIt is made for Insignia by a company called Midea Group, based in China. I couldn't find much on predicted reliability, but they seem alright. Obvious the reviews from Best Buy on this item are very good.
