    Was a life saver when our AC broke down in the midst of summer! It got so hot in the house that the family was struggling to fall asleep. We put this portable AC into our bedroom and was able to sleep with no problem!

    Keeping my gaming room cool in the summer.

    For the past month while its been the hottest summer on record, this little guy has been keeping my 200 sq. ft. bonus room reasonably cool while running a gaming computer. Before this I couldn't play until later in the afternoon or at night due to the room reaching 90°F+ degrees. Now I'm able to play anytime within reason. So if this thing can keep up with a bonus room and a gaming PC then it's good enough for any bedroom or office space.

      That's great to hear! It's good that the unit cools the room very well, doesn't leak, and doesn't take up much space. We understand that the price might be a consideration, but it's good to know that it performs effectively. We appreciate your positive feedback! - Carl | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    This was perfect for a small bedroom and 4 dogs whenever power outage hit here in Houston. I would recommend it as it’s small enough yet cools enough a smaller bedroom. Wouldn’t use it on a master bedroom as it may not have enough power to cool down.

    While the foam insulation strips were frustratingly sticky, the unit has performed great so far. Only takes a couple minutes to start feeling the effect in the room. It is a bit loud if you are used to a quiet room but if you want something to keep you cool it will do the job

    The Insignia Portable Air conditioner was easy to set up and is ideal for that small room that needs air conditioning. The only drawback is the amount of noise that it makes. All other aspects (price, portability, ease of use cooling capacity) are exceptional.

    This was a good overall it really depends on your room size. My room is relatively small it 10x12 and it cooled it down pretty fast even when it was in the high 90s . Although I didn’t have any issues with the evaporation system there was still water collecting in the machine. Not sure why but it never overflowed. It’s a little noisy when on high but eventually you don’t notice it when u fall asleep.

    I was always buying the window units. My fiancé loves to look out the windows in her office when she’s working. We don’t have a lot of windows to work with so we have this unit a shot. Works very well, nice and cold and not too loud considering the whole unit is inside the house. If you weren’t sure about buying one, I would say go for it. As long as you can spare some floor space for the unit. Has wheels so it’s easy to move and so much easier than lifting a unit onto the window sill.

    Have had this for a couple weeks, using it regularly. It's only 6,000 BTU, so keep that in mind. This unit is definitely best suited for a closed off small room, versus a whole house or a larger apartment. It's also noisy, so I wouldn't recommend running it in a room where you're trying to sleep. That being said, I've been using this to supplement a wall unit. I put it in a "hot spot" room on the second floor, which is also unfortunately my office. When used alongside the wall unit (which is in a separate room), it gets the office cooled MUCH faster, and since it has a thermostat for automatically powering down it lets my wall unit do the heavy lifting for cooling once the temps are down to manageable levels. And, it also helps keep the whole apartment from getting too hot during the cooler night while my main unit is turned off. This was a much needed summer office upgrade I should have gotten years ago!

    This is a great portable AC. It is very big and loud, but that is expected for an AC unit. It works great even on 100°F + days and still works even months later. I am so glad we got this thing

    Works good so far for my bedroom! I think the pieces it came with - the foam and window stuff - was kinda lack luster. I rent so I can’t put the little wedge screws in the window to make the foam flush to the frame, but otherwise it was pretty easy to set up by myself. It’s a little loud but for cold air I don’t mind the noise. It’s got wheels, pumps cold air in great, and has a bunch of little settings I’ll take advantage of.

    Easy to set up and very non permanent, although you can definitely set it up so that its permanently attached to a single window. cooling works to get the temp down fast within a minute or 2 there is a significant difference the smaller the space the faster the change. very bright light though for led if held in a dark room and you dont like lights this may be a problem, controller is perfect to cover the light though.

    We bought this to help out our central AC in July/August. Really helped cool our living room which always got the hottest. Looking to buy a couple more. Just beware that it’s kind of on the heavy side.

    The insane heatwave in mid-May in Chicago prompted me to buy this AC. The room I am using it in is a little over 250 square feet but the AC manages to keep my room very cool anyways. The setup was relatively easy.
