Great value, works amazingly well!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Insignia portable air conditioner, and I have to say, it’s been a real game changer for my home comfort. Living in a small apartment without central air can be tough during those hot summer months, but this little unit has made a huge difference. First off, setup was straightforward. I didn’t need any extra tools, and it was ready to go in less than an hour. It came with a window venting kit that fit my window perfectly, which I appreciated. Once I turned it on, I was impressed by how quickly it cooled down the room. It’s surprisingly powerful for its size, and I didn’t have to wait long to feel the difference. The temperature control is easy to use, and having a remote is a nice touch—no more getting up from the couch to adjust the settings. One thing I really like is the different modes. You can switch from cool to fan, and even a dehumidify option, which is great for those sticky days when you just need the humidity taken down a notch. It’s also relatively quiet, which is a bonus; I can still watch TV or have a conversation without shouting over it. There are a couple of downsides, though. It does need to be drained regularly, especially in more humid conditions, which is something I didn’t expect. And while it's pretty portable, moving it around can be a bit cumbersome since it's not the lightest unit out there. Overall, I’m really happy with my Insignia portable air conditioner. It’s made my summer much more bearable, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient cooling solution for smaller spaces!

Seems to work well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Welp, this is a fairly good portable air conditioner at a reasonable price. It does the job, although admittedly it's a bit overpowered for the space it's cooling off. It's not overly loud but it's definitely not quiet; it does make for good white noise for sleeping though, and at this point it doesn't make a big thumping sound whenever the compressor kicks in, so economy/energy saver mode is OK for sleep unless you're a very light sleeper. As with all portable air conditioners, you need to vent the hot air out the window, and this kit comes with everything you need. However, the hose it comes with is slightly "proprietary" meaning that if you want to use a different hose or a different window mount, you'll have to do a little bit of hacking. That said, if you use the parts it comes with, it makes it really easy to snap the hose on and off (I had to use a different window mount because of the size of the window). So all in all, a pretty good buy. Time will tell how long it lasts. Look for the sales!

Works well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This portable AC works fast and well to cool a small room ! It is a little on the noisy side and I have put it in “sleep” mode with the hopes that it would quiet down, but it does not. Set-up for the window was fairly easy (have vertical window set up) but I was only set 3 “pegs” for sizing of the window and needed 4.

Good Portable AC at Home
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a lifesaver during the summer while working from home in my home office. Installing it was a breeze, and I love that it comes with a remote and wheels for easy movement. The sound can get pretty loud at times, but it’s worth it for the cooling power and convenience it offers.

Tiny but Mighty !!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This portable unit is tiny but mighty. It cools the room fast and efficiently. It was fast and easy to install, under 30 minutes to have the unit up and running. The casters make it easy to move if necessary. I purchased in order to trim the exorbitant power bill and it has accomplished the job so much better than expected. I would highly recommend and am considering purchasing a second one.

Works great! Nice.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great! It really cools a 10 x 14 room in summertime. Not too noisy. But when it comes to my electric bill, it adds at up to 200 dollars. Gosh! I can't believe it would add up too much. I turned it on almost every day because I need the room to be cold during summertime. However, it does its job cooling the room:-) There is only small amount of water that will come out. Every once a week we check and drain the water. Installation is not hard. This should be near the window.

Keeps our room ice cold!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This portable ac unit was very simple to set up. Wether you have a vertical or horizontel window the parts work for either or. When i tell yall this ac unit has my room ice cold in this hot weather. I love it!! The only thing that i dont like about it is that we have to have a bucket for the water and you have to pour it out after a few hours.

Portable AC (Insignia brand @ Best Buy)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works good in smaller areas. Does not leak very often and low maintenance. Installing and securing window are needs to be secured as goodas possible to assume the best experience in the summer months. The exhaust tube is on the shorter side so it needs to be placed on a lift.

Does a decent job
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit seems to do a good job cooling my bedroom. I like that I can easily take the hose and extenders out of the window when not in use because I didn’t install them permanently. I would be happier if it was a little quieter.

Glad I bough this
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Serves its purpose. I live in an apartment with wall a/c unit in the living room and in the master bedroom, but nothing in the 2nd bedroom and it gets really hot in the summer. I'm a petite girl who lives pretty much by myself, I took it out of the box when I was in the car before I brought it inside. I used my little cart to wheel it, it is heavy, but I was cautious. Very easy to install, and so convenient with the remote and it gets icy cold. Love it!

Cools great, no drainage needed!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cools the room quickly and doesn't need to be drained. The size is reasonable, my only complaint is that the added window attachment didn't fit the rooms window (it's a tall side slide, 70 inches) but we bought multiple units so I was able to use some of the extra parts from those to fit it in.

AC / humidifier
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The AC works great and cool the room well. I haven’t user the humidifier yet. The AC when turn on the noise level is louder than I expected looks bulky probably because of the build in humidifier. Easy to assemble! I paid $200

Uncertian
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
