    Awesome works great! I'm glad I got it tbh I needed it. A tip set up the little hose lower than the actual unit so the hose is easier to work with

    Great little unit, does what its supposed to do. A greatly needed reprieve from the brutal summer we are having. Good enough for one bedroom.

    Keeping my kids room cool when she needs it most! This stays on and keeps it at the right temp at all times, I have another device that keeps the temps informed to me by bluetooth and this stays at the temp it is at. Just know, it is heavy!

    Works great cools my bedroom down nicely to a good tempture leaving my room not too cold. But just right. Love that I can use the tube in a small window. This does take up quite a bit of space, the machine itself.

    The best purchase I have ever made. I have it set up in our master bedroom and it becomes an ice box in there. It took my boyfriend and I about 20 minutes to fully set up and get going. You won't regret it! Buy it now!

    One of my two best investments the other being the chest freezer during the pandemic. This portable freezes any room in minutes. Also fantastic for basements which i use it for. Its adjustable tempature is great when its really hot it blows out plenty of cold air to warrant wearing hoodies. over very happy my only reject was not getting two,

    The 250 sq ft Insignia air conditioner turned out to be a major disappointment. It failed to live up to its promises and left me feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. Cons: Inadequate Cooling: Despite being advertised for use in rooms up to 250 sq ft, this air conditioner struggled to cool even a smaller space effectively. It took forever to lower the temperature, and even at its maximum setting, the room remained uncomfortably warm. Noisy and Disruptive: The noise level of this air conditioner was unbearable. It emitted a constant and annoying humming sound, making it impossible to concentrate or sleep peacefully. I had to turn up the volume on my TV just to drown out the noise from the unit. Poor Build Quality: The overall build quality of the air conditioner felt cheap and flimsy. The materials used did not inspire confidence in its durability, and I fear it won't last more than a season or two. Inefficient Energy Consumption: This air conditioner consumed an exorbitant amount of energy for the minimal cooling it provided. My energy bills skyrocketed, and it felt like a waste of money to run this unit constantly. In conclusion, the 250 sq ft Insignia air conditioner was a complete letdown. Its inadequate cooling performance, disruptive noise level, and poor build quality make it an unreliable and inefficient choice for anyone seeking relief from the heat. I regret this purchase and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable air conditioner for their space.

    Even using just the fan it does a pretty good job of cooling down a room. I haven’t used the actual ac feature yet but it’s not really needed
