    Air conditioning went out and I needed something immediately. Came across this portable ac system and purchased it. Got it home, followed the simple directions for hookup and had my master bedroom cooled in no time. It is a little heavy, so you may need more than one person if using upstairs, but Definitely a lifesaver!

    This portable air conditioner really cools down a 15 X 10 room! I would recommend using it on any room you would want cooler than the rest. It works great. The remote controls are pretty cool too!

    If you’re looking for a quiet A/C it will be when pigs fly, this thing does exactly what you need it. Currently used in it 85 degree weather and it cooled the room down within 5-7 minutes. It has a heavy flow of air. For those that have a issue with noise I recommend keeping the tape and bottom phone from the box to reduce the noise. Other then that all you hear is the air being pushed out, no extra vibration like window AC’s have when you first turn on. For sure measure the room you’re going to be using because this is for small square rooms.

    Perfect little AC for a smaller sized room. Very easy install and the remote is a plus. Ran two of these for a month and didn’t see a huge increase in our energy bill either!

    A little loud but having a cold room is worth the noise. I also highly recommend getting the 4 year service/warranty they sell. I bought a Fridgidaire and it went out a little over a year. It was slightly quieter and I’m kicking myself not buying the warranty on that one.

    set up was simple. I like how fast it cools down my room. When our air conditioner broke it was nearly 90 degrees and it brought the whole apartments temperature down to 78 by being in just one room. I kept it installed so I can turn off the central air and just cool down my room to save energy. My curly hair also appreciates the dry feature to dehumidify the room. humidity gets so bad here in georgia especially in the spring. I noticed my blowouts started lasting way longer when I purchased this.

    Easy to install, quite efficient and very quiet. The cool air is remarkably cold and cools down a large room in less than an hour and then the advanced settings on the machine allow it to run at a lower and most cost efficient speed. I'm quite impressed with the low cost and would recommend this for the garage, an upstairs attic area or just for temporary use in the kitchen when preparing a large meal requiring the stove to be on for periods of time.

    I recently purchased the Insignia 250 sq ft portable air conditioner, and I'm quite pleased with it overall. It's a great budget-friendly option for cooling smaller spaces, and it does a decent job of keeping my room comfortable. Pros: Affordable: The Insignia air conditioner is very reasonably priced, making it an accessible option for many people. Compact and Portable: It's small and lightweight, making it easy to move from room to room. Easy to Use: The controls are simple and intuitive, making it easy to adjust the temperature and settings. Quiet Operation: It runs quietly, which is a big plus compared to some other portable air conditioners. Cons: Heat Exhaust: The exhaust hose can emit a significant amount of heat, which can be uncomfortable in warmer rooms. Cumbersome Water Emptying: Emptying the water tank can be a bit messy and inconvenient. Overall: Despite the minor drawbacks, I'm happy with my Insignia air conditioner. It's a reliable and effective unit that provides good value for the price. If you're looking for a budget-friendly portable air conditioner for a small space, I would recommend giving it a try.

    The AC is good, Makes room cold in less than 15 minutes, The only drawback is it stores lot of water in the back and it's so low, its very hard to drain the water from the unit. If there's water in the unit the air is just like fan. This is the second unit I have, the first one survived only 3 years, it started to shut down by itself in 10 minutes. Couldn't be fixed so I had to purchase a new one

    I’ve been using this for over a year and it gets the job done. My AC went out during peak summer and this unit has cooled my room perfectly. The unit can be noisy when going full throttle but small price to pay for a cool room in hot summers.
