Insignia™ - 250 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner - White

My old Best Buy bought Frigidaire air conditioner fell out the window and disintegrated so I needed a new one and did not want to deal with a window model again so I got this 6,000 btu Insignia portable a/c, my first one of its type. So far I like it.. it's easy to put the exhaust hose out the window.. this carries heat to the outside and the unit itself, while heavy, rolls around smoothly on wheels. The A/C can get pretty cold so I have to watch the temperature. I like how when you turn the a/c on the vent first rises and then the a/c starts. The remote that it comes with works well and has many functions. You can control the vent angle with the remote. You can also turn the LED lights on and off which is a thoughtful inclusion. The exhaust tube gets mildly warm but I don't think it has much effect on the cooling power of the a/c to be honest. So yeah, overall, I like it. It works good, no window dangers, is easy to transport and has a great price here at BB.

Bought this a couple weeks ago. There weren't any reviews when I purchased so I really blindly purchased because it was the cheapest portable air conditioner I could find. PROs Blows cold air. Blasts cold air in an up down motion. Easy to install. Remote makes it convenient to turn on and off. CONs Super heavy. Was a pain to carry up stairs. You need to separate about a foot and a half from wall and window. Maybe all portable ac units require this but I didn't know that when I purchased. Would've been useful info to have when I purchased. Floor needs to be level or you hear noises. I have carpet so I needed a 2ft by 3ft piece of wood to place under ac unit to level the unit. The unit is pretty loud when it's on full power. If temp is close to what you set it to reach then ac unit isn't noticeably loud. But if its 85 and you set desired temp at 65 then unit is pretty loud. I have to increase volume of my TV when AC unit is loud. If its 70 and you set to 65 then ac unit is not loud at all. Overall I would recommend product because it works. I was worried product might break in a week but I've come to rely on it more and more. So far it's very dependable. Because of pandemic I've been working at in my bedroom but the heat made me lazy. This unit keeps me cool during my workouts. Everytime it blasts cold air when it's hot I'm like...this was so worth it.

This nice appliance was never used because I have a house full of boxes, presents, more boxes, BIG boxes, and unassigned furniture, appliances, decor, etc., and extra boxes, due to the big time remodeling job to which my home was subject. Thus, there's not a lot of room for movement. Still, I bought the portable rolling AC unit because, at the time, my rooftop Rheem's thermostat went out, and my cat and I were suffering unspeakably from the heat. Naturally, I was hoping against hope that it would fit in my home and move around with me from kitchen to bedroom to living room to office, etc., with ease. Additionally, just moving the unit out of my car took two people and over an hour, it was that heavy. This meant I couldn't lift the behemoth up over my head to move it from room to room in case there was a traffic jam amidst the boxes, furniture and other imposing stuff strewn hither and yon. In the end, I had to return it to the good folks at Best Buy, on the same day I purchased it. Should have mixed in reading glasses, a measuring tape and more brainmass before leaving for the store in the first place. The reviews were excellent, the price point fair, and it's a nice-looking appliance. I would surely recommend it based on those 3 factors, even though it never left the box it came in. My precious cat and I suffered through yet another week of 100+ degree temps inside; that is until the new thermostat was finally installed. The remodeling job, however, continues.
