    It’s good but …

    It’s pretty good at keeping cool but only issue is that it drains SO MUCH WATER. I put the hose in a gallon bottle and it feels up almost every hour to hour and a half.

      Thanks for the honest feedback, JourneiJ! We’re glad it’s keeping things cool, and we hear you on the water drainage — that’s definitely something to keep an eye on. Your insight helps others know what to expect!

    Great Portable A/C!!!

    This portable a/c is amazing! I’ve been having trouble with my home unit and this has been a life saver at keeping my room cold. Ive left it on all day and night with no problems. I’ve even used it in my living room and it cools the space down a lot. Living in the south, this would definitely come in handy during hurricane season (with a generator of course) but it’s definitely good enough for everyday used if you don’t want a giant window unit.

    Received this a couple of days after Seattle had over 100 degree heat. It arrived just fine and set up was a breeze. Still reading and getting to know all I need about this unit, but it works perfectly and keeps my bedroom nice and cool. One thing we’ve been doing is that you must drain and clean the filter once each week or more often if need be. We’ve been doing this on both our portable a/c’s. So far once a week ifs sufficient.

    Seems To Be Well Worth The Investment

    Though I have only used the Insignia Portable AC maybe 5 times, it seems to be well worth the investment. The unit seemed to be able to cool a fairly large area (the space is probably about 300 sq ft), it has many great features such as an opportunity to program it to work during specified times, it can also be used as a humidifier - it seems to allow adjustment to 74°, so I'm wondering if it can be used as a heater as well, it was easy to assemble - the assembly was intuitive (admittedly, I watched a YouTube video to confirm my steps were correct), and the unit is fairly attractive - blends well into the space. The only drawbacks are the weather-stripping is of poor quality - so I recommend purchasing an additional supply to use and I would recommend purchasing/using small screws to lock the window attachment/slats in place - the provided rivets are plastic and not enough were provided. If the unit works for at least 10 seasons, I'd be very satisfied.

    Having difficulty using the dehumidifier with the hose it comes with but everything else worked great. Helped in a pinch during the summer heat wave for a small 2 bedroom apartment when our A/C was out.
