    I was looking for a portable air conditioner for my room and I step upon this one. At first I was worried if it was going to be good or not but it turn out to be really good. Upon arrival the box Look like it fell out the truck but the unit wasn’t damaged. Really good for the price I paid for.

    Works well, I have a room that is about 250 sqft, it keeps it cool and isn't super loud. Was the cheapest option I could find too.

    My a/c went on the fritz and I needed something to provide cool air during 100 degree temperature. I read about this product and was impressed with how quickly it made the room feel like normal. It is easy to move around with wheels and easy to setup.

    Overall, it’s a really nice unit. The only downsides I’ve found are how bulky it is, and it’s rather difficult to aim the air in the direction you want it to go.

    Nice AC, curbside with caution

    The unit cools a dining room and small attached sitting room very well, and is pretty quiet for the amount of air coming out. I used the curbside pick up method. After unloading, carrying into the house and unpacking we noticed a hole punch into the side of the box and crack in the side of the unit. We set it up hoping it was just cosmetic and would still work, which thankfully it did. It was too heavy for me to pack up and carry back for the cosmetic damage. I would just caution anyone using curbside to check boxes before you get it out of the car.

    I am extremely satisfied with my Insignia air conditioning unit. It cools down the room impressively fast, even during the hottest days. The temperature control is precise, and the unit maintains a consistently chilly environment, making it perfect for beating the summer heat. Additionally, it’s quiet and energy-efficient, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for reliable and effective cooling!

    Not quite what I hoped for, but good enough to keep. Sound meter on my wife's iPhone is 70 dB and on my S21 Ultra it's 72 dB and max of 74 about 5 feet away from the unit. It's about 60 dB about 20 feet away. According to Google, that's about the sound of traffic or a vacuum. Luckily, it runs at that high noise level for about 5-7 minutes before going into a passive fan only mode with no active AC for like 5-7 minutes. Long story short, it works, it's loud, and for me in my office it works great enough to keep. However next summer, I'm probably moving my office to the basement. And we'll repurpose the upstairs office into a movie room or something. No idea at this time.

    Honestly the best thing I’ve ever bought. Kept my room nice and cool and comfortable. I could sleep like a baby and not wake a million time sticking to my bed sheets. And doesn’t produce a lot of water so you don’t have to empty all the time. Great product.
