    It stop working after a year

    I got this Insignia Portable AC around this time last year. I've only use it when my living room is experiencing summer heat. It works fine. I've never abuse it. As soon as the room is cool enough, I turned it off. With that being said, I few weeks ago after using it the night before, I came home from work and wanted to cool the room, suddenly it won't turn on. On the remote, there was a P1 message ( 1 on a circle ) So I grabbed the manual and started reading what was wrong with it. It say to drain the water which I did but no water came out. I became a bit frustrated so I went to Best Buy to asked if I still have a warranty. According to the sale rep, since its over a year and I didn't buy the extra 2 year warranty, They can't do anything about it. Bummer! This unit was $300 + tax and it didn't even last 2 years.

    I would not recommend this product. Struggles to cool down a room during the middle of the day. Cool at night though, thus the extra star.

    Keeps the place cool with an acceptable amount of noise but once it gets dirty there's no way to clean it. We've tried every it for two years now the unit smells like rotten eggs. Pretty scary since it's in a baby's room.

    Not Great For The Price

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

    I don’t know if it is my high ceilings or what, what this ac does not cool my 15x11 room well. I would think that decreasing the temp would allow it to work harder, but it seems to blow out the same air. It helps with the area directly by my bed that it is like 2 feet away from, but the rest of the room is as warm as my apartment.

      Thank you for sharing your concerns about the Insignia 300 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner. We apologize that it's not meeting your expectations in cooling your 15x11 room. We understand how frustrating it can be to not feel the full benefit of an air conditioner, especially in a room with high ceilings. We're sorry that decreasing the temperature didn't seem to make a difference, as it's designed to work harder when set lower.

    Unit purchased on 7/13/23, stopped blowing cold air on 9/8/23. Compressor starts when unit is turned on but shuts down after approximately 30 seconds; sounds like a car engine turning off and has a loud shaking noise. Unit remains on and blowing air, but at current room temperature. Outside temperature is 86F. Unit temperature setting is 74F. Room size is 11'x11'

    It’s “needy” during So. Cal summer days

    In So. Cal, just received this model. Running non stop on “cool” mode from 10am-3pm and I’ve had to drain twice....a pain. I’m hoping it’s just because it’s humid today considering I’ve seen other comments saying they rarely have to drain.
