    It does a 12x12' room fairly well. But it struggles a bit in a 15'x15' room. When it's hot, hot, hot (like in the 110^, it'll keep the room at about 71^. The real test is when i get my electric bill.

    Alright the only thing you got to keep an eye on is the drain plug at the bottom will pop out and make a huge puddle of water. But works amazing and ran it all summer.

    The product works well and cools the room effectively. However, I’ve noticed a lot of water leaking from the AC overnight, which I have to clean up every day.

    I have tried many but this is the best one it cools down very fast. The room is very cool sometimes cold depends how low I set it. It doesn't leak. It's not loud at all, I can still watch TV. The remote works great.

    Great a/c. It works the best for small spaces. It’s a little difficult to use the remote since you need to be positioned close enough for it to capture the entries but overall a great a/c that cools well

    We live in an older apartment complex with no a/c and a cat. We are able to set up a timer for the a/c to turn on before it gets too hot in our apartment. Its not too loud and cools our living room very nicely.

    A Total Waste of Time

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Stops blowing cold air, even though the unit is powered on and set to continual use. Also, the unit is loud (you won’t be able to sleep) and the installation is criminal (comes with an adhesive foam that cannot be removed and will destroy the inside of your window frame). DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE FROM BEST BUY. AFTER AN HOUR OF INSTALLING, YOU’LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVEN MORE BACK PAIN BY HAVING TO RETURN IT.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      We apologize for the disappointing experience you've had with the Insignia portable air conditioner. We're sorry to hear that it's not functioning properly, blowing cold air, and is also noisy. Additionally, we're concerned about the installation process and the adhesive foam causing damage to your window frame. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our products and services. .

    Using this for a bedroom and it works nicely, super cold. It does send out a ton of condensation so we hooked up a permanent line to run outside and the plants are so grateful for the water :) also it’s quiet.
