2026 update: I'm on my third summer. It's still working well. I'm sitting in front of it now feeling very chill air coming out of it and cooling me off. The only complaint that I have about it is that the vent which expel the cold air in the air upward. It's odd that they didn't design them so that they could send them straight out to cool someone sitting in front of it. I have to stand over it to feel the cool air. The only way I can feel the cold air if I'm sitting in front of it is to put a little table, literally on top of it to direct the air. This does work, but the vents facing upward is an odd designed decision. And the "I have to stick a table in front of the air conditioner to direct the air" solution is a little funky. I bought this portable air conditioner in July 2024 and use it for three months, then used it again last summer for four months. I've just set it up again to use this summer. I'm not sure why it has gotten so many negative reviews; mine has been operating well. The way these models work, they are not as effective as window units; that goes with the territory and is a built in shortcoming. On the other hand, they don't have to be professionally installed; you just plug them in and push a button. Mine puts out a continuous stream of chilled air that I appreciate on hot days. It isn't perfect. One thing that I find irksome is that the vents point upward rather than straight ahead. So if you're sitting on a couch, the cold air will blow up over you and not on you. I fixed this by attaching a little piece of hard plastic (taped to the top of the unit) which protrudes a few inches and helps to direct the air toward me. Having the vents quitting upward is frankly a stupid design decision. But all in all of the air conditioner itself works great so far.

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.

Update: After 14 months it has died. I only got one summer out of it. Warranty is only 12 months so I might be screwed. The compressor turns on but the air is warm. I've tried everything from hard reset to emptying the water to cleaning the air filters. I emailed the B&D service center but no reply yet. $500 to use it for one summer is a tragedy. I cannot recommend this unit to anyone. My AC unit looks brand new, I've barely moved it, and it doesn't even look used. My 15 year old AC unit downstairs still works and it's some no name Chinese brand. I should have gone to Costco and bought any AC unit there. Costco has a no question return policy....... I have a 10-15 year old portable AC unit that was handed down to me and it still works for the most part however it is extremely loud, smells musty even though I have sprayed lots of Armor All AC vent/duct odor neutalizer, almost twice the size of the Black and Decker, and it is not super cold anymore. So I looked to buy a new portable AC unit for my master bedroom and settled on this Black and Decker. I really wanted to get an LG or Asian brand just for reliability but all of them are at least a few hundred more than this Black and Decker. So after doing a lot of research and reading review sites online as well as Amazon, I settled on this one because it was the cheapest I could find for 14K BTU. Pros: - Affordable for one room comfort instead of paying $25K for whole house AC. - Ice cold. Cools down my 365 square foot master bedroom from 80 degrees F to low 70's after about an hour. My upstairs gets warm and collects all the heat in the summer. - Very easy set up. After removing from the box I put together the window contraption(without the foam insulation for the window edges) and in about 10 minutes I was enjoying cold air. - It's much more quiet compared to my old unit that I replaced(my old unit is 10X as loud lol). However the Black and Decker compressor makes a high pitched whining sound that others have mentioned which is annoying at first but I guess I tune it out because like I said it's still 10X quieter than my old one. - It's a lot smaller than my previous AC unit(my other unit is twice the size. - Supposedly it will tell you when you need to drain the condensation tank which is great because my previous unit gave zero indication. - Comes with remote which will come in handy when I need to use it while I sleep. - Draining the tank should be easy because it has handles on the side to grab when picking it up. In comparison, my old unit was twice as big and had no handles to grab onto. This unit comes with a tube that you can use with a drain pan if you like. - Good price compared to other 14K BTU units, all the others are like $650 to $900. Cons: - It seems outdated, maybe this is an old model but for 2024 you would think it would be more high tech. Like with an LCD/LED screen on the actual unit with more intuitive controls, etc. You have to use the cheap remote if you want to have access to more functions ie. Changing the direction of air from left to right, plus there is a function on the remote called MAX function for cooling which is the fastest way to cool your room. I have no idea why they couldn't include both of these functions on the top panel of the AC unit?? It's only accessible using the remote for some reason. - When the compressor is on it makes a really high pitched vibration noise. It was the very first thing I noticed the first time I turned it on. It's not a deal breaker for me because like I said, my previous old AC unit is 10X as loud. - The 2 blue lines for standby mode cannot be turned off. So at night the blue lines illuminate your room and are very annoying. I have to put a book or magazine over it at night. In summary, if you are on a budget and need a portable AC unit that can cool down a 365 square foot room easily then this could be for you. If money is no problem, then you should spend on a better brand like LG or Midea.

I got this unit toward the end of last summer (2017) in the PacNW. The last 4 summers have been brutally hot for the area, both in number of truly hot days and max temps we reach. There is no built in A/C in any but the newest apartments, as historically we don't need it up here - you can get through the week or two max of 90+ temps in one summer. I already had a smaller unit for my bedroom, but unfortunately after seeing we were about to go through a week of well over 100 temps, I got this larger unit for my living room/kitchen open area. It did quite well. Cut to 2018, a summer where by August we've already had nearly 30 days of 90+ temps with plenty more on the horizon, and I'm getting the "LT" error quite a bit. The machine stops cooling for 5ish minutes (sounds like it goes into fan mode) and then kicks on again. I do see that the error indicates it needs to defrost itself, but I'm not sure why as the room is plenty warm and I didn't have this issue last summer while running it pretty much non-stop. I did proper maintenance at the end of the summer and it was stored inside my home, no transport or anything that could have damaged it. I'm just concerned this means it won't have good longevity, even though it's not being used constantly like it would in some areas of the country. The area it's being used in is basically "the rest of the house" aside from the bedroom - the living room/kitchen/hallway are all open to one another. It is likely to exceed the square footage that it is recommended for, but I think it does a fine job keeping things reasonably cool in the 90+ temps. It's just this issue with the error message that is causing me concern about its functionality. EDIT: I realized one important thing about the unit and the remote control. If you turn the unit on with the remote, and then turn it off on the console (ie not with the remote) it confuses the machine. You really need to turn it both on and off at the same location - either the console or the remote. It needs to go "full circle" with the same source. I believe I had turned it off with the remote last summer and then not having batteries, turned it on this summer via the main console on the unit itself. For a couple of days after I turned it off and then on again with the remote, it *seemed* like it was doing much better...not "LT" errors and it sounded like it was running smoother. However after those couple of days, we are back to the rough sound (not the "gurgling" that is normal, but a "whooshing" air gust sound) and the LT errors. I am not sure what is going on. It still has 90% efficacy but going off so frequently with the error does impact its ability to keep the room cool over the course of the day. Still a powerful unit and <knock on wood> doing a decent job.

I bought this last summer when my AC conked out and I didn't want to immediately shell out the $5K+ it would take to replace it. But it's very hot and humid in my area so some relief was necessary. My brother lives in a house without central AC and uses a combination of window units (which aren't allowed where I live) and a portable unit similar to this one. I looked at number of different models and read a lot of reviews before settling on this one. (And I definitely wanted to order from Amazon because of the fast, free delivery right to my door, and also because of price.) I have to say that I was taken somewhat aback when it arrived in such a big, heavy box. Thank goodness the delivery person got it up the stairs to my door because I had a hard time just dragging it inside. I then let it sit there for a couple of days* while I got my nerve up to unpack it. I shouldn't have worried because the container was designed so the unit could be very easily removed. (But I then had to drag/roll it into the other room. Yes, I'm apparently a weakling.) *My delay was probably a good thing because there was a notation on the box that the unit shouldn't be turned on right away if the box had been turned on its side (the same as with fridges). I had no way to know if it had been turned on its side during shipping, but it was safest to assume it had been. Once in the right location, it was pretty easy to install. Again, I had been expecting something more complicated, but was pleasantly surprised. I didn't need any special tools or jury-rigging. It was literally a matter of minutes to get the vent set up in my window. So, how does it cool? Pretty well. It would probably be great in an enclosed room, but I have it set up in a more open area. It gets the immediate area pretty cool, but, of course, I can feel the temperature rise the further away from it that I walk. I can't fault the unit for that. It cools enough and reduces the humidity to make several small adjacent rooms comfortable/bearable. I left the unit set up in place all all thru the winter--didn't bother to take the vent out of the window--and it was fine even in the cold weather. I've never needed to empty the drip tray, despite the humidity. I don't use the remote since I mostly just set the temp and let it run, so I can't speak to how well it works. (But, eh, a remote's a remote.) When it's getting a workout, it does sometimes shut off because it ices over (there's a warning light that tells you what's happened). No action is required, tho; I just have to wait a few minutes and it restarts on its own when it's ready. It is a bit loud--louder than central AC, but about the same as a window unit. To be honest, I got used to it pretty quickly and don't even notice it anymore. It certainly doesn't bother me when I sleep or anything. I'm very pleased with this unit. It's done a great job, got me out of a bind, and saved me a bundle. It works well enough that I've been in no rush to replace the central AC (although I'll get around to it eventually).

I have tested this product for about 2 months now, here is my findings. 1) it is a small AC for a 14,000 BTU, ideal if you are trying to save space. 2) The sliding window panels used to connect to the vacuum cleaner looking attachment isn't sturdy enough enough, the plastic pieces tend to bend when trying to connect. Luckily I had my old window set up from my 12k BTU Amana portable AC which was much more durable. I suggest B&D make those sliding window panel a heavier. 3) it blows ICE WATER cold when running optimal, but there is a catch here. The fans on this unit seems very sensitive to obstruction of air through the rear vent. I noticed after a day or two of running the fans started to malfunction to the point it sounded broken and I had to turn it off. I took the screen out and started it up again and it instantly started running great. To further test I put a piece of towel over a small portion of the fins at different points and the fans started to instantly malfunction. I think this is the give-to-get rule with a 14k BTU AC this small, because of its size you have to keep the screen VERY CLEAN at all times. I washed it every time I use it, and I have yet to have malfunctioning fan issues. When clean it blows very cold as will do so on any fan speed. 4) the remote works well, it can pick the signal up without you facing it with all options working immediately. 5) The unit has strong fans, it can blow air 10-15 feet up or down depending on how you adjust the louver's. It was able to cool a 400sq ft space that was 80 degrees to 67 degrees in a half hour, it's a little bull dog of an AC and it will run through the night. 6) if you are lazy, don't buy this, to get optimal performance you need to clean it/drain the water etc more often, but the reward is it kicks ass on a hot day.

It does not get as cold as they say it does. Certainly doesn't put out 14K BTU's if you get that model. I bought and used this over the past 2 years, and I can tell you that it does put out cold air, but there's no way that it can put out 14K BTU or cool any where near 700 Sqft. I keep the fins cleaned, the condensate line is clear (it does make lot of condensate),so be ready for that. I live in Florida, so that's expected. I would estimate that in the real world, this 14K BTU rated 120 VAC device puts out about 60% to 65% of the advertised rated cooling capacity. So, its good for a 120 Sqft insulated bedroom to keep around 70F on hot day outside; but get another product like a 220VAC split unit at the same rating to get better than than in Florida or similar location. I personally would not buy another one based on the demonstrated cooling ability and the amount of current draw for a device like this. 220VAC is more efficient by far.

My need in making the purchase was to cool our living room, dining room, kitchen and small hallway - approximately 600 ft.² - so that the central air-conditioning in our house would have to do less work. There’s only me and my wife living in the house and we don’t need the central aircon system to be cooling the whole house when the two of us are just sitting in the living room watching TV. I did a considerable amount of research before deciding on this Black & Decker unit. this is the one that kept coming up in different reviews as the best one for large spaces. It is also very well priced. I am so impressed with everything about this unit. The unpacking was easy because of a well designed box which simply lifts off and separates from the bottom after you remove the nylon straps. Setting up and running the unit was self-explanatory without any instructions, though if you do need a user guide you will need to download it because it is not included in the box. Honestly, it was so obvious what you need to do to set up the unit and get it running that I didn’t download anything until a few days later. This affordable air-conditioning unit is a real worker and an absolute gem. It has been incredibly efficient at cooling the 600 ft.² area that I needed it to cool and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The unit is not that noisy, but I really don’t see how it could be quieter and still throw enough cool air to the far reaches of the area. This product has full Wi-Fi and smartphone app support and the app is a pleasure to use. There is no problem connecting to the unit and the app is really well designed and covers everything. As a retired software engineer myself I really appreciate what has gone into the design of the app. The app will enable you to control the unit whether you’re sitting in your favorite recliner watching the TV or 500 miles away enjoying your vacation. The 600 square-foot area that I’m using this unit for is, I believe, about the limit of its power. I think it would be struggling with any area larger than this. In conclusion I am massively impressed and pleased with this product and I do not hesitate in recommending it. Just understand its limitations as to the area to be cooled and don’t try to push it beyond its abilities. I would say 600 ft.² depending on layout is approximately the limit.
