    I had to get this when our AC went out in our house. The AC company said it would be 6 days so went into bestbuy and picked this up. It kept my whole downstairs (living room, kitchen,dining room 68 degreese with no issies. Easy set up and hassle free!

    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.

    A/C works as intended and provides excellent cooling but it is loud. We are using this for additional cooling in our bedroom and it takes a few nights to get used to the noise. Also be aware there is no easy way to drain the water that is collected during operation. The drain sits very low and it's difficult to get a pan under it to release the water.

    I live in a 3rd story apartment of an old house and it gets very warm. I move this thing with me from room to room and it does a great job of cooling the room I am in. I use a small fan to get the air flowing even better. The only downside is it is a little loud, but that can be expected. Assembly was quick and I had this up and running 10 min from when I opened the box.

    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.

    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!

    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 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

    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 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

      That’s great to hear, DavidA! It’s awesome that the Insignia unit is outperforming your previous one—cool air that actually reaches you makes all the difference.

    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
