    This Portable air conditioner was a life saver. I got this Insignia model in exchange for a defective EQK model. By far easiest set up and a multitude of functions. That were great and the value.

    So far so good! We got this unit to replace an older Black and Decker unit and this was was so easy to install. It’s been working like a champ for the month we have had it and hope it continues for years ahead. Great product at a great sale price!

    This ac unit works really well. It's sufficient to cool one average sized room, but not more. The drain was what surprised me. If you do not have a floor drain in the room, you will need a shallow pan to drain it into.

    This item was bought because the A/C went out. Came right out of the box and easy to assemble. It helped keep our room nice and cold. I would definitely recommend this portable A/C unit to anybody that needs one.

    Ive had this unit for a year now and use it to cool my office with many electronics. This in addition to my central air in my home. This unit cools great, i mean it’ll make a room cold within a few minutes. My main issue with this unit is how loud it is when running. I need to take work calls and game with my friends and this unit is always so loud i can barely hear whatever im trying to focus on. I actually didnt realize how loud it is until i tried another unit only $50 more. This unit is about 3-4x as loud as my new one. For nearly $400, id expect something quieter.

    The Portable Air Conditioner met my needs as this summer was one of the hottest and my windows were not a standard type to fit a normal window unit. The only issue i have is the hose should be longer

    After spending days reading online reviews for so many different models, I settled on this one and couldn't be happier. It works great, cools great, and doesn't leak! The only thing is that it is rather heavy so getting it up a flight of stairs meant going one step at a time, but otherwise it works perfectly.

    This portable AC is convienient and cools great. The installation is just a few things you snap on. It is relatively light but also had wheels for easy sliding between places. The dehumidifier is complicated to use, don't forget to tilt back slightly for draining and it has an extra plug in the drain. Very useful.

    Purchased this for my daughter’s 20 x 22 converted attic room that was an addition to a home we just bought. The room is not tied into the central AC. We needed something temporarily while we wait for a permanent mini split installation. I had my concerns about her moving in the room considering how warm it was but this has done a great job in mid 80’s weather to keep it comfortable. I can’t speak to how well it will work in the extremely hot temperatures but it’s been great so far. Install was simple, even for a vertical sliding window. I can’t speak to the electricity efficiency because we have no prior electric bills to compare to.

    This air unit is great. It cools the lower level of home. I love the different modes & levels. It was very easy to install. Family decided to go out & purchase one for their homes. I would recommend this unit to everyone with out air coditioning or central air. Again this is a great unit. I love it.

    I would have given it 5 stars because it cools so well, but I keep having to reset it. It starts to make a beeping sound and just cuts off. It turns back on once I reset it but it does it at least 5 or more times a day. I would exchange it but it's past the 14 days, so I guess I'm stuck with it until I can afford another one.

    This unit is great for cooling areas that have doors you can close because it won't cool a large open area. For example if your home layout is open and you can see in the dinning room from the living room and can't close any door then this ac may not cool your room unless your home is very well insulated. The ac will bring the hot temperature down in a large open area but it won't actually ever feel cool. The ac is as loud as any other ac. The huge benefit is that its portable so we just move it from room to room. Works for us bc we have a window unit in the large open area so I would suggest using a less expensive window unit and this ac in other rooms. Honestly, if I hadn't paid $316 total with taxes included then I'd have to give it 4 stars. Even though I really love this ac it doesn't seem worth the listed price of $369. Use a BTU room calculator before your purchase. Remember if your home isn't insulated then no ac will really cool your home.

    Never owned a portable air conditioner before. This unit I quieter than a window unit. It is portable such that it has wheels & can easily move to a different room. This unit is heavy so I would recommend moving it up & down stairs. I have this set up in our dining room & it keeps that room along with our living room cool.

    This air conditioner has been a great investment to combat the hot days in the summer! I have not had any trouble with it and always cools the room down fast. I love that it's not only air conditioner but also a de-humidifier, I use them both! It's a great buy for the money.

    Excellent air conditioner once I got it set up in an out-of-the way place. Much heavier than I expected for the label "portable." I won't be moving it up and down stairs without a dolly. It rolls well on the carpet though.

    Got this for our daughter's bedroom. It normally runs about 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. This AC got it down to a much more manageable temp and isn't as noticeable from the front as a window unit would be. Only took about a half hour to 45 minutes to set up by myself.
