    The a/c works great. Keeps our bedroom nice and cool. I do recommend having a dedicated circuit for this however. This unit pulls almost 12 amps by itself. I read reviews that says this unit is loud but in our experience it is not very loud at all. Installation was straightforward and comes with everything you need however you may need more weatherstripping than what is sent with the unit. It is a heavy unit but it is on rollers.

    It's good for a bedroom, only problem is that the fan is loud and can keep you from falling asleep. Its affordability is the only reason I didn't give it a 3 star.

    On the heavy side but that's what you want for something like this. Cools our large, top floor, high ceiling bedroom quickly, and then maintains the temp. I'm really happy it comes out of the window easily so I can roll it away and open the windows without questioning if it is a hassle. Considering another for our downstairs.

    We didn't want to leave our swamp coolers on all night, so we bought this for our master bedroom. Which is around 220sq. Its easy to install, the user manaul was easy to follow. You do need to vent it out of a window, like every air conditioner, but you can install it without drilling into the window if you use some tape. We didn't even need tape because it fit our window perfectly. Keeps the room very cool, the remote also acts as a thermostat, which is nice. Read the user manual, because if you don't you might miss how to drain it and have it leak everywhere, or wonder why it turns off and beeps, which would indicate the bottom water tray is full.

    You don't need an AC in the Bay area, they said. Life is much more pleasant getting through Indian summer in comfort. On a more serious note, we have 2 very senior dogs, and they are so much happier and active, since we're able to cool the house during the day and night. Works excellently, cools the room within minutes.

    I wasn't sure to rate this 4* or 5* (wish there was a 4.5). It is on the cheaper end of portable AC units but you get what you pay for. It is not quiet by any means, the window mount for the exhaust setup can be cumbersome as you have to hold pieces together with small pins and it is flimsy. But at the end of the day, it does a good job of its main purpose and it can easily cool down the room size it was advertised for even during the hottest days on record.

    We got the Insignia portable air conditioner in anticipation of hot weather that hasn't arrived... yet. Relatively easy to set up and get very cold air flowing into a room that can get very warm. We thought the unit would be portable enough to move from room to room as needed, but realized that in order to do this more easily, we would need to get another set of plastic pieces that couples the air conditioner hose to a window. We got it when the unit went on sale and I think its reasonably priced compared with comparable units available at others store. It's heavier than we thought it would be; there must be a lot of "stuff" underneath the plastic shell!

    Great Portable AC

    Excellent AC for small rooms during the summer months. Just be mindful of the square footage because if you get one too small it may not cool the room good enough. However, if you get a good sized AC your room will be a chilly wonderland. Just make sure to have a big enough bucket for the water it collects, especially if it's really humid. Had to re-buy it due to SQ issue.
