    This is meant for a medium sized room but it cools my large living room, dining room, kitchen and hallways all the way to the front entrance. When people want into the apartment it feels like we have central air conditioning. I totally recommend it.

      Thank you for your feedback on the Insignia™ Portable Air Conditioner! It's great to hear that it cools quickly and has good power. The noise factor is definitely something to consider when purchasing any AC unit, but overall it seems like a good option for cooling a smaller space. Enjoy staying cool! - James | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285 BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    I purchased two of these units for the residents and they have been working perfectly fine. These units cool the space better than a window unit. The only reason for the 4 stars is the size is a bit bulky.

    We bought this for my sons room (located over the garage) which is always HOT. This really helps keep it cool during the hotter parts of the day in Texas. It’s heavy but can be moved around if needed.

    I've had this unit in my apartment for a couple weeks now. It works so well to keep my room cool. It's a bit louder than I expected. It does a great job though! If recommend this if you needed to cool a larger room and window units don't cut it.

    Great Bedroom A/C

    My son is renting a house in Katy, Texas and the landlord will not have the central A/C serviced. Due to the central A/C not working properly, the humidity could not be taken out of the air. Anything with metal in his room was starting to rust and his clothes were getting mildew on them, due to the humidity. When I found out about this, I researched and read reviews about portable A/C's. The homeowner's association would not allow a window unit. I purchased this portable A/C and my son set it up and had it running immediately. He has been extremely happy with it. He says he leaves it on 72 degrees and his room stays very cool and the humidity problem has been solved. He said it cools part of the rest of their house also, when his bedroom door is open. I would recommend this portable A/C for anyone for a bedroom.

    Unit works as expected. Had to purchase then when i had some a/c issues at my house. Unit works good for the squar footage it covers. The only thing with these units is how noisy they are when running. Overall we are happy with the unit.

    I live on the third floor, thank Best Buy for delivering upstairs because it is heavy! However will the major heat wave it has help cool half my apartment due to the apartment design. If I had an open concept I would only need this one but my apartment is closed of so it helps cool my too largest room and it is such a blessing.

    Cools well, setup slightly difficult (as all portable ACs are) for my horizontal sliding windows. Easy to move around the room, blows nice cold air, and draining is simple. Very well worth the cost.

    Definitely came in handy this summer. Will work for medium sized living room. This item will not cook your entire house but only a select room. It’s easy to install and creates a cool environment in no time. Overall satisfied!

    Firstly, the set up was so easy. I was able to do it within an hour. I love the functions and settings. It’s really heavy, so it was difficult to get inside but once it’s on ground it’s easy to scoot around. So I would for sure buy it again!

    The settings are user friendly. I have been using this unit for a month now and it blows out cold almost freezing air depending on the setting you have it on. It also has a setting for night time which is nice. I really love this unit.

    Cools, but damp - needs an auxiliary dhumidifier

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

    I've installed the unit to vent out of a small awning window. Creating a mask that fit the window and vent attatchement was fairly easy, and is working so far. My only complaint is that the unit doesn't allow you to connect it to an external drain during opeation. Nor does it work as a dehumidifier when the exhaust hose is connected. Since we live in a very humid climate, the result is a cool, but damp room. Disconnecting the cooler and switching to dehumidifier mode for a few hours helps, but is not ideal.

    Cools but loud

    The reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because its LOUD with which ever mode you use. It’s twice as loud as a window unit. It’s not “really” portable. You can’t just unplug it and take to from room to room without having to take out the entire window venting tube system and redo it again. It cools nice but I have a small room so I’m not sure about bigger rooms.
