    Terrible. Purchase this because it has double the BTU my current air conditioner has. I switched back to the old one within three or four days because this unit can barely handle the humidity let alone cool down a room. No idea how this is supposed to cool down a room even bigger than the one I bought it for. Save your money bc when I tried to return it BestBuy wouldn’t allow it and said I had to work w the manufacturer. Total waste and very unhappy w BestBuy.

    The AC wasn’t what I expected. The air was not cold at all. It felt like a regular fan. I’ve had other ACs that have been better. I dont know if it’s because it has been hotter than before but it seemed as if the AC didn’t work. I returned it.

    Don’t purchase this junk. I bought mine a couple years ago and it just stopped working. Made some weird clicking noises and no long produces cold air. I called Best Buy support about it and they gave me a bogus out of service Insignia number to call. I had to look up the number and just got off the phone with them. They won’t do anything and the warranty is only for one year. Complete waste of money.

    Missing important pieces like the brackets used to put up in the window, and the clips used to make sure the brackets stay up! I guess the point was to make sure the machine works and not that it has all its pieces! Walmart has deals still. Let me grab one from their store.

    We bought this portable air conditioner for our cuddly cabin boat. The air is definitely not cool enough to be called an air conditioner on a 90 degree day on our boat. It is quiet. It dies pull moisture from the air. Works great as a fan, just doesn’t provide enough cooling power while in our boat!
