    A little bit noisy but not overwhelming. Kept the room cool. Installation and set-up was very easy. Being able to control everything with the remote a definite plus.

    I bought this after reading many good reviews about how the unit is very loud BUT cools very well. It is incredibly loud and somehow also does not cool very well. After running it all night while I’m asleep id expect to wake up shivering but instead I’m still hot. I only feel the cool air if I’m standing directly in front of it. From bed I can’t feel the air blowing at all and it’s right next to my bed. Its like it only blows up towards the ceiling (and yes i have it on swing mode, still doesn’t reach me). Follow me sounded like a good idea when I hit the button on the remote nothing happens. Over all it’s better than nothing since it’s the only cooling source in my apartment but if I didn’t miss the return window I probably would have brought this back and gotten a different one.

We understand how disappointing that must be, especially in the summer heat. Your feedback is important and has been shared with our teams as part of our continued effort to improve product quality and performance. Tine | Insignia Support BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Good a/c unit for its price

    I got this on sale and it runs well for its price. It can be a bit loud and is not very portable as the hose part isn’t very long. However, it cools the room quickly and efficiently. It has other features including heater, dehumidifier, and fan. I have only used the fan, which isn’t great as the spout (swing) cannot angle flat or downward. It comes with a handy remote and batteries which is great. The installation isn’t hard but the instructions are vague and the parts aren’t very high quality (Window seal and braces). So, in total, for a lower price this is a great unit for cooling and upstairs room or a room without central air. Air conditioner is great, but portable it really isn’t.

    Very happy! This AC unit was easy to setup and vent out of a smaller side window to cool an entire studio apartment (600 sq.ft.). Comes with a remote, has a digital temp display and the blower door has an up/down "swing" direction feature like a fan.

    This is an excellent air conditioner at a very affordable price. It is very economical as well. I love it! The only downside is frequently having to drain the air conditioner when using the dehumidify setting. Highly recommend

    I needed something ASAP to use in my horse trailer for a weekend camping trip that was going to be +100 heat index. I was able to find this at a nearby city and got it same day. My trailer is not yet insulated, but despite that, this Air Conditioner did a decent job of keeping the interior cool. It worked great at night. I would recommend if you need for a small space. RV or Trailer space. It does take up a lot of floor space, but it is much cheaper than ceiling units, and I think it would work well if the space was insulated prior to use. It is a bit noisy, but I think that is to be expected with this type of unit.

    I have found this to be an absolute quality solution for the Summer heat waves in Las Vegas NV. It has kept my room and downstairs bathroom, cool and comfortable during 110 degree nights. It was a quite a simple setup and was up and running in minutes. I am considering another Insignia unit for ther second floor oif my home. Thank you, I would reccomend this to a friend and my family members as well.

    It really works. This was a great gift. I love how it cooled off my entire apartment, not just one area, my bedroom. There is a difference in the entire apartment with the air conditioner on and the bedroom door being closed.

    We absolutely loved it! Our room (Master Bedroom) rapidly got cold in 100 degree weather, so I would definitely recommend. Kept us fresh all night as well as mid-day. Sweatshirt and socks were being worn.

    Early yet but very impressed so far. Unit is compact and looks great. Appears of high quality; I have owned a few window units and one freestanding ac like this and this appears to be tops. Especially pleased at how heavy duty the window insert is - will probably add a small amount of insulation but it’s very solid, thick and sturdy. Ran it initially, quiet and cools nicely. We’ll see how it holds up, optimistic at what I’ve seen so far!

    These work amazingly well. I needed these because my windows will not hold a regular ac unit. So i purchased two of them. One for each bedroom. They are really quiet and great at cooling down the rooms. I didn't have to empty the water out all summer long which was shocking. They are noticeably heavier than a regular ac unit.

    Works pretty well in my room, only thing i somewhat dislike is it will automatically kick in to a lower cool setting i believe when the room reaches the temp you have set too, not to big of a deal but i wish there was a constant high setting.

    Helps SO much!! I live in an apartment with high ceilings and the master bedroom has 1 vent for the room.. not enough at all during the summer months. We started using this and it has been AMAZING. I am thinking of buying another for the living room !! A great buy for the price. If you are contemplating the purchase, DO IT. I’m super grumpy when it’s hot so I needed this. Lol It will save your life. Thanks best buy :)

    Bought it as a secondary AC for my class A RV. The desert summers are brutal and the onboard AC, despite being top-of-the-line, can't withstand 115F+ temps. This portal allowed the he RV to maintain an 80ish temp and give the main AC a needed break. Easy to install and maintain. Bought it open box so the price was excellent.

    Great little portable AC. Cools off my entire bedroom but could easily cool off my whole apartment if I keep the door open. Powerful, small and I like the “fan” noise! Also doesn’t take up much room or window space. Worth every penny!

    It is kind of loud but it gets the job done. It is also supposed to automatically shut off and give an error when the water tank is full but the one time it got full the plug popped open and spilled water all over the floor. May have been a one off but time will tell. Easy to install. Overall it’s great for the price as other units of similar size are at least $100 more.
