    I must admit, this isn’t the most powerful portable AC Unit, but it does use a lot of power. When I first brought this home I plugged it into my living room(along w/my bedroom window AC Unit turned on) & left my apartment to run a quick errand. Expecting it to be nice & chilled when I got home, I was surprised to find that both AC Units somehow triggered my circuit breaker & shut off after I’d left. Frustrated but determined, I ran an extension cord from my kitchen to the livingroom & have had zero problems since. The little Portable AC doesn’t quite cool everything by itself but working in unison w/my window AC Unit, it gets my little 2 bedroom apartment quite comfortable for my 3yr old & I. If you need just a little extra oomph to get you & your small space through the heatwaves of 2021, then look no further than this bad boy!

    This is the second portable air conditioner I have. The first was bought by my hvac guy and I was not too impressed. This was easy to install and it cooled my attic space really well and very fast.

    It’s fine for what it is. Cool air for a small area, little noisy but not terrible. The timer function on it sucks, doesnt really work. So you have to be good about turning it on and off for electricity reasons.

    Been in use three weeks, no issues. If you can install a screen in an exterior window, you can install this with no problem. Cools a good sized bedroom down quite quickly. I had a question on the collection tank, however this is really a non-issue we have found is there’s not much water to empty – that again we’re not in Florida or the humidity is near 100%.

    I love this AC . Why buy something that's worth so much more money and your just basically paying for the brand and it doesn't even work . This one cools my whole bedroom in 20min . And it is actually very cold the longer you have it on . So easy to install and so easy to use ...and I love that it also comes with a remote . Best portable AC I have had so far

    Our family needed an easy to use room air conditioner. The Insignia 300 sq. ft. portable air conditioner was easy to set up. The remote is easy to use and the unit has several settings. The LED light can be turned off for sleeping and the filter is easy to clean. Outside temp was 90 and room was cooled to the 60's in minutes. Fairly quiet overall.

    got this for an upstairs bedroom that is always hot. Not the lightest thing to carry upstairs but it has a couple of spots on the side to hold it so better then expected. Easy to get it up and running. Nice size room and it keeps it plenty cold. Really enjoying the time option so i can set it to turn on in the early evening and have the room nice and cool at bedtime So far, very happy

    Good AC, just as described, it can be loud but you get used to it. Doesn’t really cover advertised area but works perfectly in a small room. Easy to install. You can put it in any room with a window.

    This is the second Insignia portable air conditioner that I have purchased. I live in Florida, so with the heat and the possibility of a hurricane, I can not do without a little extra cool. It works great, even with a generator.

    This thing is pretty legit. It does well cooling down a rough 600 square foot space and I keep it between 69-72° a majority of the summer. Just wish it came with a longer hose

    Don’t know about 300 sq feet but it cools up my 10x10 sq feet tiny room very fast in just a few minutes. Not as portable as I thought it would be, still it needs to be near the window like about 5 feet. It’s also quite loud, can barely listen to a tablet playing video at max volume.

    Bought this from online with the open box discount (which usually means somebody bought it and don’t use it so it was returned). I was able to pick up within an hour after i purchased online. I came home set it up (nothing was missing it was practically new) and within a short amount of time I was able to cool my back two bedrooms (with the help of a few fans). You won’t be disappointed this was a great little investment I was unsure at first because I don’t have money to just throw away on stuff that don’t work but this for sure gets the job done.

    Product works great in my living room. Cools most of my house and was a quick self install. Customer service in the store when picking it up was great. Quick and efficient and the staff was more than helpful and courteous.

    This air conditioner does exactly what we wanted it to do. We needed it for the basement level which is typically the coolest room in the house, but in the dead of summer it is HOT down there. It’s a bit noisy but does the trick

    I've had it just 24 hours, but it stopped after running only about 14 hours. Powers up, lights on, but will not run on any setting (fan, cool, auto), makes a very slight humming sound for about two seconds, then off for a few seconds, repeating that cycle. No water in unit, no issue with power. Have to return it unfortunately. Couple of thoughts... one, it does produce cold air (when working) and cools the room fairly quickly. Remote is nice, as is the timer feature. But as others have said, it is LOUD. Easily twice as loud as the one it replaced (which was a higher BTU unit). Oddly, there is no tech support number to call... just an email address on the website that promises a response within two days. Seems simple enough that they would be able to answer the phone for a five minute call to avoid a warranty return, but apparently not.

    Great unit, my a.c. went out upstairs in the middle of summer. The thermostat was reading 90 degrees upstairs. I bought this portable air conditioner from my local Best Buy and was pleasantly surprised. I installed it in my bedroom about 7:00pm and my upstairs temp was showing 90 degrees. I let it run for a few hours before I went to bed and all I can say is that before morning I needed a blanket. I ran it 24 hours for about 4 days until my main a.c. unit was fixed and it did a great job cooling. In the heat of the day it kept the room comfortable, but at night it gets down right chilly. Definitely a great investment.
