Title: This is my 3rd portable AC but my first Black & Decker
Review: 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.

Title: works great and it does Cool down the Larger rooms.
Review: for most Portable A/C units, its somewhat Hit or Miss? most are ok, but some your Just not sure?then "Price" and what to get? will it work? it is Quiet? most fit in the Middle of the road, and its not a Name Brand? what should i do?well, this one from Black & Decker seems to hold to its own on this one, Pricey? bout the same as most.but Performance wise, much better than the several we tried and tested, to put to a test we put in a 754 Sq Ft, Garage, granted was "Somewhat Insulated" but! not fully in "Riverside California's HEAT"makes most Other States Heats? almost "Coat Weather in July" and this Unit kept the Garage at about 76deg on Average, Not bad for a Portable Unit! this one does not have Heat, even in Winters here? some "Christmas are at 86 Deg" bummer for ones like me that like Snow! lolbut if looking to Invest in one? and Portable! and "Quiet" which is Subjective? depending on How Critical one may be?for 99.9999999% of general Population! its Pretty Quiet! not to say? you cant hear air Flow Noise of any kind? that would be "IMPOSSIBLE" it not Noisy enough to bother ones Sleep.but maybe for the one or 2 Boo-Tubers? to complain on everything? this and Nonthing 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! but may need slight alteration to your "Particular Situation" but should be anything major! the Sealing tape works well, but for "Some" added foam Insulation be a good Plus, now, only thing with Portable A/C units! 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 warm! not enough to be of any Danger, but Enough if you have it Cranked! the Hose can and WILL transfer that Heat! into the Room by just Radiant heat Alone, so this goes for "Any Portable A/C"and yes, it makes a difference. has a Great Timer and all of the controls are Intuitive, and Easy.added Bonus! the Controls are also Remote Controlled! so all functions can be done on the Remote!currently have one for Garage and was Testing, but was Enough where this one is a Keeper!having Mini-Split A/C for our back Shop, being Much More Versatile, but in the $800.00 Plus range? wanted to try for my Smaller Garage shop? Oh! and got an Extension 2Pack Exhaust Hose for "My Situation" and its Great for Entire Garage!!i hope this is of some help for anyone looking for these types of Units,

Review: 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.

Review: 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?

Review: 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.
