    It does what I need it to do but the hose that goes out the window, came with a hole in it. Didn't wanna return the whole unit so i had to duct tape it.

    Worthwhile ac. The ac is really efficient for a 12 by 12 foot room. Also has a hose to expel the hot air from the ac.

    Solid pretty versatile AC as far as portability, but doesn’t have much fan blowing power, had to put a standing fan in front of it to get air flow

    Absolute Piece of Junk

    First of all, it definitely is a loud unit but that is to expected at this price point. Aside from being really good at making noise, it's pretty terrible at everything else. The included hardware for the window is also pretty useless. Of course it slides great into the window but that's where it stops. They include the cheapest Styrofoam "draft" blockers, along with about 1cm thick foam blocker with adhesive on it. DO NOT APPLY THIS NO MATTER WHAT!!! The adhesive on this thing was meant to hold the hoover dam closed. This adhesive is so strong I had to get PRO strength Goo-Gone to remove it after returning this overpriced refrigerator from the 50's. Also, this AC unit is "clipped" into the window attachment, but after you clip it in there two gaps on each side.. allowing hot air to come in. I think this unit was designed to allow hot air to come in your house, and make it run constantly giving off the effect of "cooling" but the room is 80 degrees +. so of course the "cooling" feels good. And "cooling" is STRONG word for this. Returned after using for a few days, where my bedroom actually got warmer. Nice... Nice.... NO THANK YOU

    Machine is OK, support is bad

    This air conditioner is working fine so far, except my remote is defective. It only turns the unit on and off, and the LED display on and off. It does not adjust the temperature setting, fan setting, or anything else. When I reached out to Insignia support, I was told that replacement remotes do not exist, but somehow that I should be able to "reset" the remote which didn't work. They told me that I need to return this whole 70-lb machine to the store in order to receive a functioning remote. Given what I know now, I would've chosen a different brand.

    I like this portable air conditioner better than my old window unit. They are equally loud but this one is easier to install. The only thing is the tube that connects to the window seems very fragile. Be careful with the tube when you’re trying to extend it.

    Works perfect for upstairs bedroom! I wanted an ac for my upstairs bedroom, without the bulking window unit hanging out the window.. this was the perfect solution!

    Pros are the price and it’s very quiet. The cons are it is really only effective in small rooms (10 x 10)

    I bought it to cool my office over the summer. This was a great way to save money and not have the A/C at home on all the time. This A/C is quite silent. It was a great purchase.

    Actually it's very good. It literally covers over 300sqft However, because I did get an open box, of course something is always wrong. The vent thing was a bit messed up to where I could not seal it properly. So I taped it.

    It was a gift for our grandson, he hasn't complained! Second floor apartment is very warm this time of year. Bought this type so he wouldn't have to hang a window unit himself.

    Does not cool.

    Very disappointed. I got this at the last end of summer in NYC. Decided to go portable just in case and would love the option to switch back and forth from living room to bedroom. IT DOES NOT COOL. I was reading the reviews on this, people saying it cools there room in 10-30 min. It has been an hour and my thermostat still says 75, and I’ve been blasting it for 62 cool. I checked my door, windows even use some of the foam to prop up door cracks and windows but nothing changes the temperature. I just got it yesterday too, and have been keeping it running for 2 hours on and off to help with some heat and it doesn’t change the temperature more than 5 degrees. When you stand in front of the machine, it’s nice and cool but it disappears so quick and doesn’t seem to collect. I’ve had window AC that do the job and make you want to keep a blanket wrapped on you when it’s 101 outside but my room is not cold. Not even a sensible cold. Yea I’ll walk out to my living room and feel the difference, which is decent but honestly I wish I can return this. I can’t even offer any sentiments of small gratitude to this on why you should maybe get this. I live on the 5th floor without an elevator by myself so this was rough carrying up by myself and I don’t want to do this again. That’s the only thing stopping me from returning it right now but I would not recommend you to get this. Sad because I really like insignias other products but it seems that the air conditioner is one of those, if you’re lucky you’ll get a good unit, kind of ones.
