An absolute MUST for hot summer days
4 YEARUPDATE 2022: It's been 4 years since I've purchased this portable AC unit. I've been using it everyday, when it's not summer I simply use the built in fan for air flow when I'm working and white noise when I'm sleeping. When it's blazing hot during summer I have the unit blasting cool air in my home office while I'm working and when I am done for the day and want to chill outside of my office I can run my central air and save A LOT of money on my electric bill. This is an absolute must buy if you're looking for some AC relief without breaking the bank. I will without a doubt buy a brand new one the moment this thing breaks down on me but it's been going strong for 4 years now and I still can't see it breaking anytime soon!ORIGINAL REVIEW:The central air in my house is broken and it would cost me nearly $7,000 to fix it so I decided to pass and buy this portable air conditioner and it gets the job done for a far less price. It’s only been a couple of days since I’ve used this thing and it’s been a LIFE SAVER. It gets up to 110F where I am and this ac unit cools down my room within minutes! I set it to turn off after 1 hour to save energy. I don’t expect this thing to cool down my entire living room but I always go to my room after work and I’m satisfied so far. My only complaints is the less than helpful instruction manual to set this up but you can get an idea on how to install this thing from YouTube, my other complaint is that it’s fairy loud but honestly the benefit far outweighs the cons so it gets 5 stars in my book. I’ll be sure to update my review if I encounter any problems, but as of now I’d highly recommend this unit if you want to beat the summer heat every year.UPDATE 08/19/18: It has been about 2 months since I’ve bought and used the unit now and I still stand by what I said about this device, it is a LIFE SAVER! My area has been consistently hot all summer with temperatures ranging from 99F - 107! And not once did I ever feel the summer heat indoors. This was definitely worth the purchase and is an amazing investment for future summers to come.UPDATE 05/17/21: It has been 3 years since I’ve owned this portable air conditioner and I firmly believe this is by far one of my greatest investments. It has reached upwards of 119 degrees where I live over the past 3 years of owning this AC unit and it’s been a LIFESAVER. I do not regret buying this and I can say with full confidence I would immediately buy a new one should this one fail; as things stand however, I don’t see it failing anytime soon!Ver másVer menos

Quiet, efficient air conditioner
*Update*It’s been almost 2 years and I am still loving this a/c. I remove the vent assembly in the winter and reinstall it when needed. It still cools my home as expected. I’d still recommend it! In face, I’m ordering another one right now for my ver hot laundry room 😁*************************************Sometimes shopping online is difficult because reviews are all over the place. I am so glad I ignored the negative reviews and purchased this unit! Is it as quiet as having central a/c? No, of course not. And you’re not very bright if you expect it to be. When it’s running I don’t even have to turn the volume up for the television. Our window unit was absolutely deafening and we could barely talk to each other even when sitting side by side on the sofa. Forget hearing the tv. So this was a pleasant surprise. I’d read so many reviews that it was noisy.We put this in the corner of the living room and having it pointing toward the middle of the living room which is approximately 15’x30’. Sea he vent to the window and it is nicely hidden by my drapes (and some other stuff lol). I set it to 74 and the room cooled down within 10 minutes. The living room is longer than it is wide and we sit about 20 feet away from the unit. The living room leads into the dining/kitchen and I can feel it all the way in there so I’d say it cools nicely.I thought about buying a 2nd unit for the master bedroom but decided since this is portable I’ll just roll it in there.Pros:Attractive (more so than a window unit)PortableMultifunction (cools and dehumidify)Cools quickly and quietlyCovers a pretty large areaRemote control makes life easier for couch potatoesNo unsightly window unit banging away and blocking your view out the windowCons:Window vent was too wide for the window and we had to cut it to size. It would be nice if the manufacturer made a shorter panel.All in all I am very pleased with this unit and would highly recommend it.Ver másVer menos

Not bad but the duct NEEDS to be insulated (6000BTU unit [ie 1000BTU advertised])
This is no window unit, but it's pretty good for a portable AC. Make sure you replace the duct, though, makes a huge difference.Pros:- Okay price/value- It's not super noisy (its also not super quiet, but i've heard much worse)- Relatively easy to put together all things considered, works on horizontal and vertical sliding windows- You don't need to empty the water reservoir very often (like once or twice a season) which is awesomeCons:- the window kit requires cutting, etc. It works fine but how well depends on your actual window. You might need to add tape or foam or screws yourself.- its 6000BTU and you'll get 6000 BTU performance despite the advertisement of 10000BTU. This is because there's 2 standards, and the old standard does not work well for indoor/portable units. Anyway, expect 6000BTU out of this, no more.- the exhaust duct is NOT insulated . this means you lose a lot of efficient as it heats up the room as its trying to cool it. its heats up a lot!All in all if you want this unit to perform properly you have to replace the duct by an insulated one. If like me you don't want to afford that right off the bat you can wrap it with some insulation material then a reflective material. On my picture this is synthetic sleeping bag insulation then good old kitchen grade aluminum foil. Looks ugly, its fragile but it works very, very well. Probably adds 30% performance and the duct is now always cold.Ver másVer menos

Don't buy this AC
I purchased the 10,000 BTU version of this on June 12, 2023. I like my office being colder than the rest of the house, so I thought that this would be an ideal purchase.On July 20, 2023 I noticed that the unit would beep twice and shutdown for no apparent reason. It would run for an hour and then shut off. I ran through every troubleshooting theory I could think of: check the water tank, clean the filter (it wasn't dirty), try a different location to rule out ventilation issues (single hose AC unit so it creates a vacuum and needs proper ventilation to take in the warm air in the room), and a different outlet. After doing all of these things, the problem still occurs.I reached out to BLACK+DECKER for warranty information as it is clear this is a defective unit and I received this email back -**We want to apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing with your Portable air conditioner. I will be happy to assist you.The product you are referring to is handled by a specialized team.They would handle all inquiries requesting warranty, literature, or replacement parts regarding this product.I would also like to provide you with their direct contact information for future reference.Here is the contact information:W ApplianceEdit: Amazon won't let me post their company phone numberEdit: Amazon won't let me post their company email address (Equity Brands email)**After being provided with this information, I thought that it was odd that the email domain "equitybrands.com" was different from the company name "W Appliance."I researched both of the names only to find out that they're the same company, except "equity brands" has such poor reviews with the BBB that they registered themselves under a different company name "W Appliance" which, unsurprisingly, has just as many negative reviews on BBB, Google, Reddit, and a few other review based platforms that I discovered.It seems W Appliance/Equity Brands has a history of taking possession of products to fix/replace and then never sending the repaired/replaced unit back. Additionally, I saw several reviews of people reporting their unit has been in the process of being "repaired" for over 2 years without being fixed/replaced.After the extensive research I've done to determine if it would be worth me contacting BLACK+DECKER's "specialized team" per the abundance of negative reviews, I've concluded that it would be less of a headache to simply buy a new product from a reputable brand such as Whynter, which I've used in my garage for 4+ years without any issues whatsoever.Very disappointed to see how poorly the quality of BLACK+DECKER products have become.

A Lifesaver When Coming Home from Work
This was a big purchase for me. I have never owned a portable AC, and I didn't know what to expect. Reviews ranged from adoration, to loathsome, and I was nervous when I clicked the confirm order button. Let me assure you who are reading this that this was probably my highest rated purchases on amazon.My living condition is an upstairs loft in SoCal. It is a small, studio-sized room with a bathroom. The temperature, untreated, would reach up to 89 degrees inside. I was in desperate need for relief, but still hesitated at the idea of this machine. I was afraid I would be getting a loud, unruly, ineffective appliance that would plague my days to come. All these fears were blown away by the crisp, cool air this thing pumps out on the regular.Shipping -- Timely, and damage free.Instructions -- Clear and easySetup -- Window installation may take some patience, but with minimal effort, it can be done in no time. (Remote even came with batteries included!)Cleaning -- I have not had to drain the reservoir or vacuum the filter for months now, but I could do so easily. (Shouldn't put it off, I should say)Sound Level -- If you keep it next to your bed, the sound could prove to be a hindrance, after hours. However, I keep mine at the window opposite my bed, and it still keeps the whole room cool, while I sleep in peace with barely a hum to be heard. Speaking of which...Sleep Mode -- This mode lowers the set temperature by 1 degree every hour. After 6 hours it returns to normal settings. (The lights even dim on the display! I like my room dark when I sleep, so this tiny feature was noticed, and appreciated. Commendable design feature.)Separate Modes -- Fan Mode: This mode turns the appliance into a normal household fan, with low / medium / high settings. (Again, the display is noteworthy for its easy-to-read level indicator.) Good for when you want to keep a cool room cool longer, and the output is impressive. Dehumidifier mode: I think this feature is great, but I haven't used it much. Dry climate and all.Remote -- can work in direct line-of-sight all the way across my room. Internal display is handy. Display is simple, so batteries last a long time. No issues.MAX Mode -- This is when you need immediate relief. Fortunately, this appliance can dole it out at the push of a button. Max keeps the AC on no matter what with fan speed adjusting as needed. I cannot count the number of times I walk in from a long, hard day at work and immediately search for the max button on the remote before I even drop my pack. (As Emperor Palpatine would say, "Unlimited power!!!")Timer -- This feature is hands-down my favorite part of the whole deal. You can set the AC to come on, at a preset temperature, anywhere between 1 and 24 hours. MAGNIFICENT! I set the timer for 75 degrees and nine hours before I leave for work at 5 in the morning. When I get home after 2, the machine is on diligently bringing the temperature back down from the afternoon highs. This saves electricity (those wanting to save money) and by extension energy (for all those wanting to go green, of which I was one), and keeps the room cool when you actually need it to be cool, even if you left the house/apt. ALSO, the timer can be set to turn the AC off (1-24 hour interval again). This is perfect for sleep mode on average-temperature days, or when you leave in the middle of the day, and want it to turn off when the sun goes down. And the display (I really love the display) gives you a little blinking dot at the bottom corner of the screen to let you know for sure the timer is on; this is great for self-doubters like me. (ME: Did you get that AC? 9 hours, okay? AC: I got it, bro, no worries.)All in all, I have a total of ZERO complaints about this appliance. If you are shopping for a portable AC, and are nervous about the reviews you see on all the listings like I was, I whole-heartedly recommend this product for a worry-free buy.Black+Decker, you rock, and thanks!

I've seen a lot of reviews on this product, some good, some bad ,which could be very misleading. I'm going to try to set the record straight.......I've waited about a month to write this because I wanted to test the product before writing so that I can give an honest review. In my opinion this is probably the best air conditioner I've ever gotten ! this is my first time buying an actual portable air conditioner so I had to do a lot of research some come with the hardware some don't some don't fit certain Windows, some do so it was all very confusing. The good thing about this air conditioner is that it comes with the necessary hardware for any type of sliding window! (Not windows that you have to crank open but ones that slide up or sideways) Which is a huge plus because those can cost almost a hundred bucks in themselves. Good price point, for 10000 BTU air conditioner I've been seeing portables in the 4 to $600 range so this is a great value in my eyes.comes with a remote that is easy to use has lots of settings,and is programmable to set sleep settings. (you would have to read the manual in order to figure it out but it's a good option to have) also has a dehumidifier mode that I myself have not yet used so I can't comment on that, but it comes with the draining tube in order to use it. The noise level to me doesn't seem like it's any louder than any other air conditioner, but I guess it could be annoying to certain people? in the video I have it at 65 degrees and it's on the highest fan setting and that's as loud as I've ever heard it but it's not bad to me and my fiance. we have a 18 x 20 bedroom and it not only cools our bedroom but also cools some of the living room in the next room. Overall I think this is an awesome air conditioner. it's made by a name you can trust, and I'm happy I purchased it!Ver másVer menos
