This thing is a lifesaver! I use it in a bedroom that gets pummeled by northern and western light in Sacramento. It’s 110° today and my central AC wouldn’t be able to keep this bedroom cool without help. With this thing, I can keep the temperature pretty much whatever I want no matter how it is outside. What a BEAUTIFUL thing. The picture was taken on 4th of July 2024 after a year of ownership. It was a 110 degree day, but I took the photo when it was closer to 95 outside at about 10 PM. It blows literally freezing air *tears of joy*

It’s been a great AC. Blows super cold! The remote isn’t precise, but I don’t even use the remote so that’s no biggie. It’s the cold that this thing puts out. I mean it will freeze you out. Love it and would not hesitate to buy again

Works great, has been running pretty much constantly for 2.5 years. Very easy to clean, but I would recommend having a bucket for the dehumidifier water, as moving it to drain is a bit of a hassle.

Insignia as a brand have impressed me a lot this year. This unit is no exception, as it is less expensive than the other name brands and functions great with an easy to use remote control (very convenient).
I ended up getting a larger one as well, which cools my VERY HOT attic down pretty fast. Yeah, they’re noises but not any more so than the other brands or the window units. For the money, you really can’t go wrong.

The unit does blow cold air and is not noisy at all. Portables are not as energy efficient as window units but will fit in side slider windows.

I like this unit. Much better than a window unit. It cools my upstairs office which is about a 14x14 room. The remote is nice and the different settings are helpful. My only complaint is that it’s a little loud.

This is my 3rd unit. I have had the first 2 unit for 2 months now and they work amazing. We have been having some central air issues so I purchased these for each of the bedrooms and I cannot complain at all. Ran for 7 days straight the first time and 3 days this second time. They are on wheels so easy to move around if you need to. Has a swing feature to move the air coming out in a up and down motion. There are a decent amount of setting for you to find what you like. Overall, a great unit. Would reccommend.

Amazing. This is the best keeps the room nice and cool. Only 1 draw back is that you have to drain the water. Other than the draining I HIGJKY RECOMMEND this product. The vent holder fits perfect on the window. Was a breeze to set up!

The set up was really easy for my horizontal sliding window. I live in the PNW and set my temperature at 67 F, and this machine has no issues maintaining that temperature. Comes a handy remote. No complaints so far!

This gets cold and fits well in my tiny office. My window is too small for a unit, but this setup looks way cleaner from the outside anyways, and it accomplishes the same thing. It keeps my office nice and cold.

I had to scrap my old AC because it was producing BUCKETS of water. This ac does not produce anything because the moisture that does collect is circulated to the condenser and evaporates making my life easier! It is way quieter than my old GE ac and it cools my childs 265 sq ft room very well! It is quiet enough to not wake my toddle uo each time the motor kicks on! 5/5 would recommend!
