5.0 out of 5 stars This is my 3rd portable AC but my first Black & Decker
The media could not be loaded. MY ⭐️RATINGS:5⭐️- EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS!TOP QUALITY & MUST HAVE!UPDATE 06/26/2024:(See pix with UPDATE 06/26/2024 on it)99° outside and only 70.2° in our room above the garage. The other unit from a different brand never would have kept the room this cool. Those who claim the unit doesn’t work or is not cooling for them need to review the manual and check the hose or location where they placed the unit. I have had zero problems with it and am delighted with my purchase.UPDATE 06/03/2024:We have had hot temps over the last four days, and I am beyond happy with this unit. It is 4:08 pm and 68.6° in our bedroom. Outside, it is 87°. I mentioned the time because the sun is beating on the side of the house, and last year, we couldn’t keep the room below 77° with our other brand of portable AC unit. It has run all day, which is expected, but at night, it keeps the room cool and doesn’t run all night.UPDATE: 05/11/2024The dehumidifier works GREAT! We have had numerous storms lately due to hot weather. Of course, rain and hot weather make for humid, sticky conditions. When the Digital Hygrometer Indoor Thermometer Humidity Gauge says 60%, it’s time to use the dehumidifier. Each time I used it, about 2 hours later, the humidity in the room dropped to about 54-55%, which is within the range for summer. I must drain the unit once weekly if I’ve used the dehumidifier.Our bedroom is over our three-car garage; it is 425 sq—for the main bedroom and two closets. The central AC works fine for the bathroom. Even with a new heat pump for upstairs, it still doesn't cool or heat our main bedroom.Firstly, I wasn’t playing around when ordering a new unit. I did my research. CONSUMER REPORTS, READ OVER 1,000 REVIEWS, and a recommendation from a TRUSTED STRAMFITTER (HVAC) guy. With the reviews, I noticed several things: most of the negative reviews were from frustrated people who, had they taken care of the device correctly, it would still be working. ALL portable AC units need DIY maintenance. Clean the filter and drain the unit at least once every 30 days in high humidity or every 90 days in low humidity. Even though it says EVAPORATION, it still needs to be drained. Another issue is that people ignore what they are ordering and then blame it on the companies when it is their lack of attention. Complaining and writing a review about a product they never used seems pointless. Remember, this is an investment; if something is missing when you open it, return it within 30 days and get a replacement. It’s that easy.I have 2 Digital Hygrometer Indoor Thermometer Humidity Gauge in the room. I placed one furthest from the unit and one on the unit. This way, I always know the temp & humidity in the room.THE SOUND: (WATCH VIDEO)The sound is EXACTLY as it is supposed to be. Those who stated it was too loud have never used an indoor portable AC unit. It’s not the same as a window unit. Window units have the motor and fans OUTSIDE the window, so the sound is different. If you stand outside next to a window unit when it is on, it is LOUD. Basically, the portable AC is quieter as a whole.THE WINDOW KIT: (See Pictures)This could be a little better. It almost didn’t fit my STANDARD window. I never use the FOAM that comes with the unit. I purchased weather-friendly, long-lasting foam instead. The foam they provide will get dried out and become dust.THE REMOTE:Very easy to use. Follow the manual.THE DISPLAY:Easy to understand & operate. Follow the manual.THE HEAT:Heats our room perfectly. We only keep it set at 68° because there isn’t a need for any warmer.THE A/C:Our bedroom is 425 sq ft, over a garage, and the sun beats in 2 of the four windows so badly that we had to black them out with Blackout Window Static Cling with White Side, Total Blackout Window. This unit cools the room rapidly and keeps it comfortable.I like that once the room reaches my chosen temperature, it shuts down but comes back on when it warms up by 1.0°. My other units ran non-stop. This functions more like an AC/HEAT PUMP.I’m impressed so far, and if anything changes, I will update this review to let others interested in purchasing this device know.This portable AC is exactly as advertised, well-made, and works well. The PRICE is in the usual range.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little unit for what it does.
I work from home. My home office, with all its computer equipment, heats up considerably. The office is always 15-20° warmer than the outdoor temp. In the summer, 90° outside can easily mean the office is 100-110°. Ouch. Not only is 100° an uncomfortable work environment, but it's dangerously hot for any computer equipment.Small 12x12 former bedroom -- I originally tried a Honeywell 8,000BTU unit. I gave up on that after a month or so and gave that unit away. It could not cool the room, due to the computer equipment, despite the unit running pretty much constantly.I then upgraded and for the past several years I've been running a Wynter 14,000 BTU portable AC. It was loud, but it did the job of cooling the room. The condenser burnt out about 6 months ago, but it would still blow cooler air and suck the hot air out of the room. So I continued to use it until I found a replacement. It never really got "cold" without the condenser functioning (and no one wanted to repair it) but would easily cool the room to a more livable temp - around 80°. However, it ran almost constantly in summer months. So my electric bills easily climbed by $100+ each month.Naturally, I decided to replace the old unit, which was breaking down, and decided on this Black&Decker 14,000BTU unit. The B&D unit EASILY cools the room in a few minutes and keeps it cool all day (cooling, then shutting off, then kicking back on several minutes later). Overall the B&D unit is much quieter than previous units I've owned. Of course there's the sound of the fan/rushing air when it's running, and there's a loud "ca-chunk" when it starts up the condenser (as expected). But, unlike previous units, I can still talk on the phone 5 feet away without having to first shut the unit off.In addition, the hose attachment on the back of the unit is LIGHT YEARS better than any previous unit I've seen. I do not want to have to install dual hoses for venting. So I will only look at/use one hose units.I always had trouble with hoses staying connected to the units. The "unit-to-hose connectors" other manufactures proved were a COMPLETE joke with no actual "locking" ability.. it was like resting a tissue on an outdoor picnic table and not expecting it to blow off. The hose would fall off then the unit would simply be blow hot air into the room rather than venting it out - actually heating the room as opposed to cooling it. I previously had to wrap the vent hose with a considerable amount of duct tape in order to keep it actually attached to the unit.The hose connection on the back of the B&D unit is SO MUCH BETTER and fool-proof. It essentially locks in place and stays put. No more worries about the host falling off. I like this feature a great deal, even though it's such a minor thing.My ONLY real complaint is the remote control. Not in its functionality, but in its design. The LCD screen REALLY needs some sort of illumination. Forget about reading the remote screen in a dimly lit room. I really dislike how dark the screen on the remote control is. But, it's not like I need to read the remote screen repeatedly or even frequently. I can live with it. But if they wanted to improve anything, it would be the illumination of the remote screen.I can't yet speak about longevity of the unit. I tend to use a portable AC every day, 14-16hrs, from about April through to about October.. and I got this B&D unit in Aug of this year. I would expect it to last at least 5 years, if not much longer. My last 14,000BTU unit lasted a decade before it started breaking down. If I factor in the cost over a 10 year lifespan, it's well worth it when considering at a per-year breakdown.I also can't directly speak about electric costs, as I've not had the B&D unit long enough to make an adequate comparison. However, since the B&D unit shuts off for several minutes after cooling, rather than continuously running, I would anticipate energy costs to be much lower than I've previously experienced. But I do consider any energy costs to be a necessary evil to both keep computer equipment at healthy temperatures and to not have to work in a 90° office.Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase. I was strongly looking at this unit for a few weeks weeks, researching, then it hit some sort of sale at Bolo and I purchased it for much a lower price through Bolo than I could have from ANY other retailer. I did shop around several online retailers for this same model and Bolo had the lowest price by literally hundreds of dollars at the time.
Poweful and effective
I have been using it in cooling mode for a non-stop two months. It works perfectly. it cools my 550 Sqft living room easily in the very humid and hot temperatures in Toronto (35 C, 95 F @ 70%RH). I hope its heating mode is as effective as its cooling mode.
CONEXIÓN A VENTANA
No hay ninguna advertencia de que TIENE que estar conectada la salida a una ventana para usar el AC. mi " ventana " es una puerta corrediza de cristal y ¿hacer un orificio en la pared? Para que compre un aire PORTÁTIL?
Bonito pero…
En si el producto está genial. Ha hecho su función solo qué hay veces se siente que no enfría correctamente un cuarto pequeño 3x3 sin embargo, al momento de quitar el filtro de polvo, el serpentín se ve dañado y pareciera que se sobrecalento y está café en una parte. Lo más probable es que lo devuelva para evitar algún incidente más adelante.-----------------------------------------------Actualización, al final no devolví el producto, lo que hice fue comprarle un protector para el tubo de plástico ya que se calentaba muchísimo, al implementarlo y ponerlo de una forma que de directamente a la cama, no solo refresca si no ha estado enfriando el espacio. El consumo de luz si fue bastante, vere como va este mes y si hubo diferencia de consumo electrico con el protector.
Buen producto Amazon cumple

Modo silencio tiene sus trucos pero me encanta el aire condicioando
