    This is the best Portable AC I have purchased. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it self evaporates, as i have had to drain my previous portable AC's and it gets annoying. this AC cools really well and stays on with no issues and it isn't too loud. Love!!!

    I bought this for main bedroom in my home to keep it extra cold. It works great. Only thing I notice is when I turn it on it pulls some sewer smell inside my home. Might just be my town water but it only happens when I use this a/c

      Hi there! Thank you for your feedback on the Insignia™ - 250 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner. We’re glad to hear that it’s working great and keeping your main bedroom extra cold.

      However, we’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing with a sewer smell when the air conditioner is turned on. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. It could be related to a number of factors, and we recommend checking the following:

      Air Filter: Ensure the air filter is clean. A dirty filter can sometimes cause unpleasant odors.
      Drain Pan: Check if the drain pan is clean. Stagnant water can cause a foul smell.
      Ventilation: Make sure the room is well-ventilated. If the air conditioner is pulling in air from outside, any smell outside could potentially be brought inside.
      If the issue persists, please reach us out and access this link https://www.bestbuy.com/site/best-buy-brands/support/pcmcat1693515381920.c?id=pcmcat1693515381920.

    Cools Small Space Nicely, Not Too Loud

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

    I bought this for my massage treatment room as it's on the second floor of an old building with poor air flow. It cools the roughly 220 sq. ft room adequately and has helped keep me comfortable while working on clients this summer. I've had it just under two months, but so far so good.

    I’m in love. I bought this thinking it might do “okay” for my cabin in the woods. At 85 outside it was 103 inside, I had to do something! My cat and I can’t sleep in the car all summer. Well, its been 12 hours. My cabin is 67 degrees. No more worrying about leaving my cat alone for an hour! Thank you insignia!

    Worried if $300 is worth it? It is with this!

    Best money I spent! I live in apartment and I have this in my room with blackout curtains and keeps my room so much cooler. I got this portable ac 5 months into the pandemic. It hasn’t failed me yet. It even lets you know when the ac needs to be drained of water with the indicator [P1] on the unit screen.

    Great unit

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

    Love this thing. I have an upstairs 2 BR apartment with one AC unit in the living area. It doesn't reach back to the bedrooms, which is where I personally need it the most. It keeps my bedroom cool and I can sleep peacefully. The only downside is that the LED lights are very bright but I bought a pack of blackout stickers and it's totally fine. Install took about 30 minutes.

    Received Open Unit….

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

    Pretty disappointed in Best Buy. Ordered this unit and received a box that had clearly already been opened. They refuse to offer open box pricing and now I have to go through the effort of retuning a 70lb package with no pick up options.

    Worth It

    Works awesome, but does shut off randomly. I assume it turns off when the room reaches the temperature the air conditioner is supposed to be.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback! It's great that the air conditioner works well overall. Regarding the random shut-offs, you're correct—it's likely due to the thermostat reaching the desired room temperature. If you have any other questions or need assistance, feel free to ask! - Carl | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    I’ve had this unit for about a month now, and when I say it cools the room it cools the room. My bedroom is smaller than most and I was concerned that this wouldn’t be effective, but I was surprised!!! I would definitely recommend.

    Too LOUD

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

    Have this for 1 month. VERY LOUD. There is no way you can sleep or work with this on. I’m a heavy sleeper and this thing is LOUD. Bought it too use in my home office. So loud that I end up yelling over the phone. Great in cooling the room though. Running in fan mode is quiet. AC mode is too loud. Disappointed ☹️
