Customer Ratings & Reviews

This item was purchased for a large bedroom farthest from our central air. The unit is performing as advertised and made the difference between sleeping hot and cool. The directions were a somewhat ambiguous, but a responsive customer service call answered the questions. Biggest complaint is noise, has a significant start up sound. Sound is less if the fan is left in constant on, but if you are sensitive to constant blowing air you have to consider the pros/cons.

I needed a portable ac unit in a pinch, it was the hottest day of the year ( to me anyways) and our ac went out. After two days of suffering, I did my research and went to Best Buy to pick this one up. It was easy to assemble, and cooled down our bedroom quickly. We finally got a good nights sleep!

I bought this ac like 2 months ago its very good and its make ur room very cool and its is easy to assemble and easy to use

My husband and I love this but wish the plastic pieces for the vent were longer. Over all it has served the purpose well of cooling down our living room.

Perfect for my 12’X15’ bedroom. Air keeps adjoining rooms cooler as well. Love the portability of this. Does NOT need draining if used as an air conditioner! A+++

This insignia A/C unit performs much better than one of the large Honeywell A/Cs that we’ve had. It outputs cool air that you can actually feel at distances greater than 2ft, which I can’t say the same for the Honeywell

We bought this unit for our dog house. Yes, our (6'x8') doghouse. It works great and keeps the doghouse cool for our two large dogs. The real reason we selected this unit was for it's portability. During hurricane Isiasas we lost power and had to use our generator to power our house during a power outage that lasted 18 hours. Although the layout of our home is a lot more open space than the unit is rated for the unit kept us cool enough to survive without complaining about it being to hot and humid in the house.

A little loud but overall works great! Very easy installation and instructions

Was concerned about the “open box” status while ordering but took a chance on a great deal. When it arrived, it wasn’t pretty. That box was definitely “opened” Lol. The packaging was ugly and ripped and falling apart, barely held together with a couple strips of tape. I was very nervous to see inside. But… The contents inside were in perfect, new condition! All parts were there and very easy to install! Unit works like a dream! Very happy with my purchase!

This air conditioner is great - no having to lift a heavy unit to put in a window, no damage to your windows from drainage. Easy to set up and can be moved to other rooms easily. We have 5 of these and they cool our entire upstairs with no issues.

This portable AC is money WELL SPENT! Heat rises. Upstairs is not as cool as downstairs, and bedroom was a little stuffy for sleeping, even with fans. There is a huge difference for sleeping! Dryer-looking vent attaches to window for venting, but it's not really an issue. Plus you don't have an eyesore window A/C unit hanging outside the house. But it's the actual coolness we like the most. It's on wheels and rolls, so all in all very convenient.

This thing gets pretty cold. However it is pretty loud. Like really loud, kinda sounding like it’s vibrating.

Used a few hours as this is written. I works really well so far. If used on carpet it sinks down, so plan ahead to access drain plug. Petite users will have trouble lifting up/down stairs, as it is kinda heavy. It rolls easily. Weather stripping included is okay, but you will probably want more substantial insulation for the window.

This was on sale and I grabbed it. It arrived in good shape for the most part, and so far seems to work pretty well. It's in an approx 10x12 bedroom and it cools the room fairly quickly. Oddly enough, I find that the "dry" mode cools faster and colder than the "cooling" settings, almost to the point where it's too cold. I guess it's humid around here =). Anyway, worth it especially at the $249 sale price.

Nice portable ac for temporary situations Kept the 400sq ft living room area cool while waiting for the ac repairman. Easy setting up the exhaust hose out the window with included the parts. Definitely would recommend.

The unit does a very good job in the room I have it. It might be a bit oversized for the space (which is smaller than 300 sq ft). It is reasonably quiet, was easy to put together the pieces, and installed pretty easily. The included window/spacers work well. I needed to handle a vertical opening. So far (a couple months) it has held up well. The hot season is pretty much over, so I'll see how it stores.

Worksv pretty well. Cools quite well even if outside is quite hot. Didn't need to use dehumidifier cooling was enough to reduce humidity. However, using overnight in the bedroom is a challenge as this is very very noisy.

I bought this unit for my parents and they’ve absolutely loved it. It’s easy to roll from one room to another, and it’s very small! We were concerned about the noise but when we had it at full blast, it was so minimal. It was like having a regular fan on; could barely hear the A/C compressor. All in all, it’s a very nice, well built product!

My AC unit had been going out for several days at a time due to antifreeze leakage. I use this unit in an upstairs master bedroom during those times. It is a large room but the unit was able to cool it down quickly and even branch out into other rooms. It was easy to install, i didn't even use the instructions. now I use this at night so that we don't have the home unit running.

Works great! Cools the room well and is somewhat loud but you get used to it while sleeping.
