    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.

    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.

    Have had this for a couple of weeks now and it's excellent. It cools my entire 1BR apartment down. As many other reviewers wrote, it's pretty loud, but not bothersome for me. I put it on the quieter fan mode if I have to take a call. Very satisfied with this purchase so far, especially in comparison to the price of other portable ACs. Hope it lasts.

    This was a perfect fit for my kids room. It cools up really well for 300-400 saw size of room. You may don’t need turn on the regular AC. The only issue its noisy and you feel like you’re spending night in a plane.

    Cools great but drains a lot of water

    My son's AC unit went out after a solid 6 year run. I didn't want to spend another $500 dollars on the same one, so I looked around and found this one. I got this unit as an open box (returned and verified in 'Good' condition) for $79. With money in mind, I purchased it and its been set up and running for 3 weeks now. It works great - cools the room and runs correctly - no issues. The down side is I put a hose on the upper drain & feeds into a 2 gallon bucket. We have to dump the bucket almost every day. Considering returning it and getting something different,

    This AC works great. I like that the remote doubles as a temperature gauge and with the follow me option the ac adjusts accordingly to the temperature settings.

    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.

    Been using this for a couple years now. Fairly easy to setup, had to make some modifications because of how large the window I have is, but for most windows the exhaust slots will fit just fine. I am impressed with how much cooling power this puts out compared to what its intended for. I seriously chose the right unit because most personal units are disappointing. Pleasantly surprised with this one. Yes, its noisy, but if you're looking for silent cooling, the cost is going to be much higher than this price point. You need a little noise to cool a room off. I use this for my family every summer, then disconnect it and let it sit in storage. Have had zero issues with doing so, which makes me happy. Good for the money spent. Genuinely a good purchase.
