It works great!
I purchased this machine in April (3 months ago) and it's such a lovely addition to my life. I wanted it to cool a room that's about 15x15 in HUMID Florida. I run several computers, lights, and other heat generating objects for podcasting in this room. It's working like a dream and the sound doesn't intrude with my recordings (using a dynamic microphone of course). I read other reviews here that the dehumidifier doesn't work well in Florida. I've actually never tried to use just the dehumidifier option yet (instructions say to attach the hose included and run the water off when running that option). I haven't had a reason too since its so d*mn hot already and the AC dehumidifies. I'll update again in the fall when the temperature drops. Also, the guide says that you'll only need to empty the water at the end of the season. At first, I didn't believe that and kept checking the water level. It still hasn't gotten to the point where I need to empty it. I'll update at the end of the Summer or when the Full Tank indicator lights up. I'm also making a point to clean the filter at the start of each month-easy. The best advice I can give is to purchase this AC (or any window/portable AC) during the winter. I've been tracking several of them over the course of 3 years and during the coldest months the price is $200. I sadly missed the price by a week when it increased in early April to $255. Now it's July and the price is apparently around $350. If you're on a budget and need something today, research building a "swamp cooler" and hold off until winter and get an amazing deal on a great product. This is probably the best product I've purchased on Amazon. Be careful when you remove it from the box after it arrives. I did make sure to let it sit upright for 24 hours but when I removed the box I did end up breaking the bottom water drain plug. I was able to reattach using gorilla glue. luckily I knew to do that. I'd suggest to un-box slowly. Cut away the the box piece by piece. I think I was afraid I'd need to keep the packaging intact as much as possible in case I had to ship it back.UPDATE: 3 YEARS, 3 MONTHS LATER (8/2022): Still working strong. I've never had to empty it but I also never use the dehumidifier. I've never had a reason to empty. I've run it constantly for months on end too, even during Summer months in Florida. It cools a room 15'x15 very well and even beyond down a hallway. Also, as I wrote before, the back knob that you attach the dehumidifier hose broke when I attempted to lift it out of the box and foam. I replaced it with Gorilla Glue but I've never attempted to use that feature because it worried me that I would break something else if I didn't reattach it correctly. Someone asked me about keeping it from stopping and starting in order to sleep better. That can be disruptive if you're not using another source of white noise to keep you asleep. I can't sleep anywhere unless I run some rainstorm sounds. I have found that turning the temp as low as I can, and turning up the speed to high and turning on the (room) "max" button will tend to keep the sound up at least some high hum constant and that helps. I do need to keep a small notebook on top of it to drown out the blue lights, but recently, I've also started using an eye mask to sleep with (you should totally try one if you have trouble sleeping). It's also easy to clean, maybe too easy. I clean the filter about every 3-5 months but I'm sure I should do it monthly. If this machine broke tomorrow (probably because I'm bad at remembering to clean the filter), I'd go back here and try to replace with the exact model. Also, the beeping noise when you adjust it isn't too loud but I wish it wasn't there at all. To avoid each beep, I aim the remote in another direction and change the temperature, speed, then aim it back at the unit and press one more degree (so I only have to hear one of those beeps). Problem solved. At some point, I'll come back and update this again with an update on the difference in my electric bill. I haven't noticed a huge difference yet.**7 Year Update*** Still going strong! I also rarely clean it or the filter. I just realized that it’s now November 2025 and while I used it every day, I’ve forgotten to clean the filter since April! Yikes.Ver másVer menos

Glad I got this unit.
Before finally deciding to purchase this AC unit, I was concerned with some of the reviews. I had seen reviews mentioning that the hose from the unit to the window popped off easily, I read that the condensation was so bad that drip pans were filling up everyday. I also heard that it was no effective at cooling down a room. I’m pleased to say that none of this was the case for me.I live in San Antonio, Texas where the heat and mild-moderate humidity make life miserable, especially in a house where my bedroom gets very poor AC ventilation. My 500 sq ft room would often hit 84-87 F during the peak of the day and would float around 78-80 at night (I use a digital thermometer in my room. After the use, my bedroom, it quickly cooled my 86 F bedroom down to a nice 74 (which almost feels cold to me now). At night, my room gets down to the mid 60s. While the 8000 BTU unit doesn’t cool to 64 degrees (which is the coldest setting, which I leave it on when I use it), it’s still a lifesaver for me. Also keep in mind that this part of Texas has been seeing 95-105 F weather daily, and it consistently maintains my room at 30 degrees colder than the outside temperature even with 2 west facing windows that catch the hot afternoon sun. My energy bills did not seen a noticeable increase after the first month (which is the best part for me).The hose has never once popped off, even when i move it around a few inches one way or the other while cleaning. The window kit has worked great and the foam insulation provided also seems to work great.The noise level is a noticeable, but for me, I’ve mentally tuned it out and can still make calls and use zoom without anyone mentioning the noise. It measured at about 53 decibels from the middle of the room. Which, for reference, would be comparable to being outside in light rain. It almost feels like having a relatively quiet white noise machine, or being in a hotel with window units on.As for drainage, or condensation, there is almost none. However, I never use the dehumidifier setting. Every time I pop off the rubber guard for the water outlet, there’s not even a drop of water, even with 50% humidity in my house (measured with the digital thermometer). It could be different for those living in tropical climates like Florida or those who use the dehumidifier setting, but it hasn’t felt necessary for me.Set up took less than 30 minutes, most of which is was spent trying to figure out the window kit installation without using the manual, as well as double checking that I created a good seal with the foam provided.Overall, this AC has been awesome for me, as someone who gets hot and sweaty very easily, I now sometimes get cold in my room during the day. I’m able to leave it off when I go to work or leave the house, and can turn it on when I get home, and it’s able to cool the room by 5-7 degrees within an hour. My room went from being, by far, the hottest in my house, to now being the coldest, by far. I’m completely happy with this AC and would 10/10 do it again. Hope this helps!

Will break within 2 months
As someone who never reviews products, I feel compelled to warn all consumers about this portable AC unit. Do NOT buy this unit under any circumstances!!! I researched different portable AC units throughly before buying this one (and paying a significant amount) and can easily say it was the biggest waste of money. I bought this unit last summer and followed all the manual instructions for setting it up. I didn’t put the temperature too low and only used the unit for about 5 hours a day during peak mid day heat. It even had its own 15 amp outlet so no other electronics would interfere with the unit. Sadly, after barely a month of use, the unit suddenly stopped working and the screen went blank. After speaking with customer service I was told that it “must’ve died” and “this happens from time to time.” Obviously I was extremely disappointed that a product I just purchased only lasted a month but luckily I was within my one year warranty. After countless back and forth and several weeks later Black and Decker replaced my broken unit and with a new one. They also refused to provide a new warranty on the new unit. I used this new unit for less than a month at the end of the summer before storing it away for the cold season.This brings us to this summer. I set up my unit without issue and it was running perfectly for about a month… before it died. The new unit that was meant to replace my old one died JUST like the old one did after using it for less than 2 months total. It’s ridiculous that this has happened to me twice. It’s especially shameful that Black and Decker refuses to help me with this issue and won’t even offer any sort of repair services. I tried to be a responsible consumer by researching this brand and making what I thought was the best decision for my comfort but I was completely wrong. This product is so cheaply made that it won’t last more than two months. Black and Decker also refuses to take accountability and help me in this situation. This is especially frustrating given the fact that the units keep breaking in the middle of the summer during peak heat!! I live on the top floor of my building and the heat is becoming unbearable. I can easily say I will never buy any of their products again. I hope this review serves as a warning for potential customers. DO NOT BUY THIS AC UNIT OR ANY BLACK AND DECKER PRODUCTS!!

It does a great job
It’s a little noisier than I expected, but much quieter than a cheap window unit with all its vibration; it does a great job, cools the house quickly and is energy-efficient. A good investment for the price, and easy to install.

Had a home AC emergency, worried for my kitties, did my research, bought this unit, and I've never been happier!
We got this when we experienced a nightmare with our home AC unit. Being renters has it's perks, but also it's drawbacks too. Having to wait six days for the AC to be repaired, only to have it blow cold air for barely two days to turn right around and stop blowing cold again, we had to wait seven more days! Due to the problem apparently being wiring, we're not holding our breath that it'll last. Living is SWFL this can be a problem during the Summer (luckily this time it WASN'T). We weren't so bothered by it, however we have a few cats that we really began to get concerned for, especially since one is a senior cat. So we looked around for a "portable AC unit" that wasn't a window unit, since we're renters and those are INSANELY priced to begin with!We found this unit and let me tell you it's a blessing! We got it to be used for emergencies such as mentioned above, as well as me and my roommate both working the 3rd shift it's miserable trying to sleep in SWFL heat during the day!We actually purchased a used one but in a "Like New" condition and the only problem with it was the prongs to the power plug were bent, but I blame the USPS for that because I saw the box lying on it's side in the bed of their truck, never mind all the cautions on the box about NOT lying it on it's side. So after bending the prongs back into place and waiting the 24 hrs to test it, it works like a dream! It's shocking actually at how cold this little machine blows and will be perfect if another emergency occurs! The noise level even at it's highest fan setting is really no louder than a large box fan, makes the perfect white noise. As for the drainage, we've only tested it so I'm not sure about how well it drains yet but I'm sure it works just as great as everything else on this machine. Controls are really easy and set up is too, I only had to fight with connecting the exhaust hose to the piece that attaches to the back of the machine, but a little strength got it right on! Those complaining about the noise, I'm not sure what they were really expecting from a "portable AC", but even when the exhaust kicks in it's not too bad. Window units are louder than this little thing. And the wheels on it make moving it around easy.Only other thing I have to say is about the few "bad" reviews about this product's heat function not working; I'm not even sure they paid attention and purchased the correct model... This unit comes in many different models, all of which seem to have a heater function EXCEPT for the BPACT08WT 8,000 BTU. No where on this particular model's page does it say ANYTHING about having a heater option and the instruction manual even states that some models have Heater functions included, but that this one does not have that. If you're looking for one with both AC and Heater functions, please review the entire product, do some research and when in doubt, ask a question. Because it's not fair to rate a product so poorly with a nasty review that does IT'S FUNCTIONS perfectly fine just because you were too impatient to read up fully on the item in question or even ask the seller a quick "Hey, does this one have a heater too?"Plus the ones with the heating function tend to SAY Heater in the item's title, and run a little bit more expensive. ;)

Portable AC That Dramatically Improves RV Cooling in Extreme Heat
This BLACK+DECKER portable AC has been an absolute lifesaver in my RV during the peak of summer heat. With outside temps in the 90s plus and heat indexes hitting 111°, my two rooftop AC units struggled to keep the RV comfortable. This unit completely changed the cooling performance inside.✅ Major Cooling ImprovementIn the front section of my RV (about 19’ x 11’), this portable AC keeps the space cool even at the hottest part of the day.My front rooftop AC barely needs to run now, and the rear AC doesn’t have to work nearly as hard.It cools the RV fast, making cooking and daytime use far more comfortable.🛠️ Smart RV Installation SetupI used a foam board cut to fit tightly in the window, sealed it with HVAC tape, and added an exterior HVAC cover to prevent water intrusion in the air outlet tube.The result: no leaks, no water intrusion, and a tight, insulated seal even without shade.This setup made a huge difference in overall cooling efficiency.💧 Self‑Evaporating System = Zero HassleAfter almost three weeks of continuous use, I haven’t had to drain the unit once. It has a built in self-evaporating function. Does not require the drain to be open or emptied on a regular. You have the choice to leave drain open but need to purchase a very low drain panIt will shut off and alert you if it ever needs draining.RV use requires more frequent filter cleaning—I clean mine every three days to keep airflow strong.🔊 Quiet & ComfortableFor my standards, the unit is quiet, especially considering how much cooling power it provides.The Follow Me remote feature is accurate, though it doesn’t remember its last setting and must be re‑enabled each time you turn the unit on.⚠️ Minor DrawbacksThe Follow Me feature should remember its last setting.My only regret is not buying a higher BTU model for future flexibility but it get the job done for my current needs.The 5,300 BTU SACC rating is the number to pay attention to—this unit performs well, but more power is always helpful in an RV.🎯 Overall ImpressionThis portable AC is absolutely worth it for RV owners dealing with extreme heat. It dramatically reduces strain on rooftop AC units, keeps the RV cool even in brutal temperatures, and makes daily living—especially cooking—much more comfortable. It’s reliable, efficient, and a huge upgrade for summer RV life.Ver más
