Review this product

Customers say

Customers find the air conditioner functional and easy to install. They mention it works well and is powerful. However, some customers have issues with durability and leakage. Opinions vary on cooling ability, noise level, value for money, and size.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

4,539 customers mention "Functionality"3,632 positive907 negative

Customers appreciate the air conditioner's functionality. They find it works well in larger rooms, especially on second floors. The window accessories work well, and the portable AC is powerful enough to quickly cool 500 square feet. It works well in temperatures between 30 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as during the day when the weather is hotter and humider. The sturdy construction and transportability make it a versatile HVAC multitasker.

5,724 customers mention "Cooling ability"3,737 positive1,987 negative

Customers have different views on the air conditioner's cooling ability. Some say it cools rooms quickly and effectively, keeping them at 80 degrees all the time. Others mention that it cannot cool the room due to computer equipment or that the cold air doesn't come out immediately. They also mention that the hose heats up, reducing its efficiency, and the heat setting produces lots of water in the machine.

"...It cools a room 15'x15 very well and even beyond down a hallway...." Read more

"...The Sleep setting will raise the temperature 2 degrees in an hour and 4 degrees after 4 hours...." Read more

"...It could not cool the room, due to the computer equipment, despite the unit running pretty much constantly...." Read more

3,554 customers mention "Noise level"1,398 positive2,156 negative

Customers have different views on the noise level of the air conditioner. Some find it quiet and not intrusive with recordings, while others say it's loud and too noisy to sleep with running.

"...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)...." Read more

"...Quiet ------- This unit was much quieter than we expected. Even when on video conference calls using speaker-phone, there was no issue...." Read more

1,684 customers mention "Value for money"708 positive976 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the value for money of the air conditioner. Some find it good value, while others say the seals are cheap and tear easily. They also mention that it's not a great deal for what you're getting, has limited utility, and inefficient performance.

"...the air conditioner function has been useful for me, this was a waste of money and I can not recommend it." Read more

"...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...." Read more

"...If you don't have local options, this will do, but it's not a great deal for what you're getting. But it's fine." Read more

"...like these are for them, the rest i think you may find a Worthy Investment, and does a GREAT job at Dehumidifying, the Window Accessories work good!..." Read more

939 customers mention "Size"462 positive477 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the air conditioner's size. Some find it small and sleek, working well in a large attic bedroom with low ceilings. Others mention that the hose is not a standard size, and the length of the hose is too short for their hands. The slider also appears to be too short for some windows, only extending to 49" long when the window is 57" tall.

"...It essentially locks in place and stays put. No more worries about the host falling off...." Read more

"...is the Exhaust Hose, HIGHLY RECOMEND to get a Insulation Blanket, of "Anykind" that can Suit your Decore and or Needs the Exhaust Hose gets pretty..." Read more

"...It takes up more floor/storage space. -..." Read more

943 customers mention "Durability"211 positive732 negative

Customers are unhappy with the air conditioner's durability. They mention that the parts are flimsy and cheap, the window kit doesn't use actual hardware, and it comes apart easily. Some say durable goods no longer last for 10-20 years, and the product is not as sturdy as expected. The attachment isn't sturdy enough, and the plastic pieces tend to crack. The window kit was smashed to smithereens in the box, and the product was cosmetically damaged in transit. Some customers also report that the power plug prongs were bent.

"...Plexiglass I used was 3/16 super thick and can be sharp and brittle.. Second unit I am waiting on delivery as it has an oval exhaust hole not a..." Read more

"...Good quality and air flow just wish it kept up a bit better." Read more

"...Durable goods no longer last for 10-20 years. I hope this does." Read more

"...Also, the exhaust hose is rather sturdy - which is actually a good thing. Security ----------..." Read more

662 customers mention "Leakage"164 positive498 negative

Customers are unhappy with the air conditioner's leakage. They mention that the drain hose is filled with water, it's evaporating the water collected from the cooling cycle, and it drips condensation on the bottom. It easily expels 5 gallons of water per day, and the built-in water tank will fill up, causing the unit to stop. The exhaust hose leaks warm air, which throws off the cooling process.

"...it and had (A LOT of) water run out of it, it drips the accumulated water all over the floor...." Read more

"...It's pretty likely that the built in water tank will fill up, causing the unit to stop producing cold air...." Read more

"...Easy to clean filter and drain options Cons: **It is a little noisy but not more than any other A/C I assume **..." Read more

"...pitched noise occasionally, but I believe it's due to the water building up on the fins and the vibration of the machine...." Read more

Works great, but I have casement windows, how to install it tip.
5 out of 5 stars
Works great, but I have casement windows, how to install it tip.
My biggest complaint? The remote doesn't have backlight. Neither does the one for my space heater WHICH you can buy one of these units with heating options. I just haven't taught my fingers on this one yet similar to getting a new tv remote.I have Casement Windows. I didn't WANT casement windows because I knew this problem was going to occur BUT I lost that fight. Ah well. So I got the unit in and didn't have time to configure my window screen for the exhaust tube but it was 98 degrees outside. I stuck the hose out into my hallway landing, turned the ceiling fan on there to move the air down opposite of where I have it in the winter to bring the warm air up, and slept cool all night. It worked so well I contemplated NOT doing the window install. That cost me a little over a hundred dollars in plexiglass and parts though I could do it cheaper. But Free is cheapest. It also had me walking around the unit in the door while asleep SO, I fixed the window.With my window screen adapted, when I use the unit I crank open my window, turn on the air and leave my door cracked. I have a cat that comes in and out but the opening in the door doesn't let much air out, lets the inflow needed for the air that DOES go out through the unit in and gets my bedroom cool in 10-20 minutes tops from too hot. It's as noisy as a window unit but I grew up with that so I go right to sleep.The air in my house is already dried by the HVAC so I have not use Dry mode. There are three modes of control for the Cooling. Temp/Sleep and Timer. Set the Temperature that you want and the unit will cycle on and off to reach and stay at that Temperature. The Sleep setting will raise the temperature 2 degrees in an hour and 4 degrees after 4 hours. (When you fall asleep and are still, you tend to get cold and it tries to account for that.) And Timer, you can have it turn the unit off in 1 hour units up to 24. I've used all three. Last night I left it on. Woke up cold and adjusted temps myself twice. The sleep setting might be about right for me. YMMV I set the timer mode too early the first night and thumbed the unit on again midway through the night THEN woke up cold and turned it off. You'll find your correct setting as well.And NOW people can sleep downstairs without freezing to death so that I can sleep upstairs in comfort, not just tolerable relativity. Should make the electric bills go down to as I don't seem to need the unit on for more then 3 or 4 hours.---- (the following isn't really review but added to help with Casement Windows Install.)---Having watched a few YouTube videos the attached photo shows my installation. My real problem with this is I have casement windows. This itself isn't the problem of the unit, it just complicates the install. My windows have screens that clamp to the inside of the window. Simply remove the frame, remove the screen material, buy a piece of plexiglass and trim pieces at your big box store to fit your screen area. You'll have to cut it to size, cut the hole for the exhaust tube and then I used clamps (simple pieces of metal and short, #8 screws to screw them to the frame. Then put the frame back into the window and it's done. I didn't get my trim pieces cut just right and the holes it left in the corner advertised for all those no-seums bugs to crawl right through. I sealed it with white duct tape. When the seasons over I'll fix that. I have seen videos on installing the cutouts they send you on regular windows, they look about like anytime you use a window unit WITHOUT having to have that wonderful time where you slide the unit halfway out and then have someone push the window down to keep it from falling out your whatever story window. It does take a little floor space and is several hundred dollars cheaper then the two hose units that don't take inside air, suck the heat out of it and blow it out the window. That means you are sucking air from somewhere else in your house and bringing that into your room. I let you research those differences, MONEY turned out to be the limiting factor here.

    Color: White - 14,000 BTUSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    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 Amazon and I purchased it for much a lower price through Amazon than I could have from ANY other retailer. I did shop around several online retailers for this same model and Amazon had the lowest price by literally hundreds of dollars at the time.

    Color: White - 14,000 BTUSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    After doing quite a bit of research, I decided to purchase the Black & Decker 14,000 BUT Portable AC. This unit is fantastic. I bought it for use in my 12' x 14' office. The office has two persons (my wife and I) and many computer systems (7 large servers, a couple of desktop systems, numerous battery backup units, numerous monitors, etc). To make matters worse, the office unfortunately gets full sun for more than 5 hours throughout the day. Though we have a central AC, the thermostat is in the family room ... so either the office is comfortable and the rest of the house if 68 degrees ... or the house is comfortable and the office is 86 degrees. Moreover, cost goes way up if we keep the office cool ... even if we were OK with the rest of the house cold like the north pole.

    Before this unit
    ------------------
    Before we received this unit, the office would run anywhere from 82 - 86 degrees many times higher during summer. With this unit, we were able to keep the office easily at 72 degrees (much colder if we wanted).

    Shipping & Packaging
    -------------------------
    Shipping was great. The unit arrived in perfect packaging and was free from any scratches, dents or any other marks. Unpacking was very straight forward. As a reminder, the unit needs to be upright. Per the documentation, they suggest the unit be left upright for at least 6 hours before use ... preferably 24 hours. I decided to wait the 24 hours since I did not know how the unit was handled during the shipping process.

    Operation
    ------------
    The unit pushes some seriously cold air. Like all AC units, when it starts-up, cold air does not come out immediately. But within 30 seconds of starting, it was blowing freezing cold air. Within 5 minutes the room cooled down and during the day, it maintained the temperature with ease (we set it for 72 degrees). In fact, we did set it down to 65 degrees and it would run until the room reached that temperature ... that was just simply too cold for us.

    Quiet
    -------
    This unit was much quieter than we expected. Even when on video conference calls using speaker-phone, there was no issue. Others on the call could not tell the unit was running. I am not saying the unit is stealth quiet, but the noise level was surprisingly low ... on-par with the fans from my computer servers.

    Why Returning?
    --------------
    If the unit was so great, they why would I return it? Well there were two issues with the unit I did not like: 1) Placement and 2) Security

    Placement
    ----------------
    Based on the layout of our office along with the servers, desks, multiple monitors, etc ... there was no real convenient location to put the unit. So how did we know the unit works well? I temporarily moved desks / computers out of the way so I could mount the hose and pass-through to the window. Originally, I had planned on drilling a hole in the wall (this is a 6" diameter hose!!!) and putting a one-way flange & baffle with a fine screen mesh to ensure no outside critters could get in. I bought this with the intent of installing it somewhat permanently. Even with this in mind, where I could place the unit would not be close enough to the flange for the exhaust hose. I could buy additional hose extensions but because of the diameter of the exhaust hose, I just could not easily run the hose behind desks, etc. Keep in mind the hose does not make 'right-angle' turns either. Also, the exhaust hose is rather sturdy - which is actually a good thing.

    Security
    ----------
    The window mounting assembly is actually quite easy and seemed to work well for the intended purpose. As a reminder, I only ran the unit for a few days so not sure what the long-term durability of the hose and mounting assembly would be like. In any event, I am very security conscious. I did not feel the window mounting option allowed me to secure the window effectively enough to prevent someone from pushing the baffles in and then getting inside the office and our home.

    Who is this unit for ?
    ------------------------
    This unit works exceptionally well especially for someone that needs to cool down a reasonably large room quickly and quietly. This probably would work great for 2nd floor (or higher floors) homes where outside access to the window would be limited or non-existent.

    I have decided to order a Mini Split AC instead. It will allow me the flexibility of placement and will enable me to maintain the security aspect.

    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?

    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.
