I ordered this unit online and expected it a week from my order date based the posted timeline on Best Buy’s website. But to my surprise, it was delivered the next day. Upon receiving the unit from UPS I was disappointed to see the box in such terrible condition. It looked pretty beat up with multiple holes and tears in the cardboard. This made me uncertain if the unit was going to be in good condition. So I opened the box and hoped for the best. To my surprise, the unit was in good shape overall, however, the power cord had a bunch of black scuffs on it and I also noticed some additional scuffs on the inside of the unit. I read reviews prior to purchasing this unit that reported the same issue. I can only speculate, but in my opinion I received a refurbished unit. Even though it was sold to me as “Brand New.” Other than that, the unit functions flawlessly, cools my large room very fast and hasn’t let me down yet. I do wish the connection for the hose on the back of the unit was sealed better. I noticed it lets out some hot air but this doesn’t seem to be an issue. For the price, quality and performance, it can’t be beat. Not to mention, I was also able to purchase a 4 year warranty which gives me peace of mind. So overall, I’m satisfied.

It cools, but not enough in 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Leaves room at room temperature with full blast. Not worth $300. Extremely heavy to carry up stairways. Loud motor too on cold mode. Will never buy again.

I purchased this Insignia 250 sq ft portable air conditioner as an open box. Because the price was so good, i ignored the reviews. Read those reviews they are telling the truth. This thing STINKS like musty socks and an electrical fire in the making. The overall presentation is nice. It does indeed blow very artic cold air. However, the chemical odor while running is a concern to myself and my familys health as god knows what chemical it creates in the home. For any of you customers checking out the open box items or even a brand new, this is hazardous.
