I was so frustrated when I first opened the box that I wanted to leave a terrible review, but the fact is I can’t. I really love this air conditioner. The room I’m using it in does not have a window, so I drilled through the wall and installed a 5″ vent. I asked the rufus AI what size the vent hose was, and was told 5″. I searched the questions by other customers and they were told 5″. The model I received has a 6″ exhaust hose. This did not make me happy. I think the issue is that there are several different models on the same page. I purchased the 12,000 BTU + Heat model. It definitely has a 6″ exhaust hose.
Anyway, after a trip to Home Depot to get a larger hole saw and new vent (ever try to use a hole saw when there’s already an existing hole? It sucks. LOL!!), I was ready to install the Black & Decker Portable Air Conditioner. And this is where it really started to shine.
The setup is very easy, connecting it to the app and Wi-Fi worked first try, and I had cold air within minutes. The room is just over 400′, but it’s a converted attic with no windows and poor insulation. When I first turned it on, in was 92 degrees. In less than an hour, it was 80. An hour after that, it was at the temp I set, 70 degrees.
Connecting it to Alexa was fast and easy and it is much quieter than the one I replaced. I tried to impress my girlfriend my changing the temp and fan speed with Alexa, which works perfectly. She was not impressed with my geekyness. 🙂
Anyway, I’ve been using about a month and could not be more impressed. Highly recommend!!

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.

Lo uso para un cuarto donde trabajo así que refresca perfectamente, recuerden que entre más grande la habitación necesitarán uno de mayor potencia o más de una unidad, el cuarto donde lo uso es pequeño así que enfría de manera adecuada.

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I’m always objective and honest about the product or service. I review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I’m writing will influence for or against the purchase. I try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I end the review with an answer as to whether I’d purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!
I purchased this unit for our guest bedroom as it can warm being that it’s upstairs and our primary HVAC struggles with cooling the second floor on hot days. We’ve been using it in our primary bedroom which is larger. I went with the 12,000 BTU model hoping that it would be overkill for the space. I think it will be for the smaller guest bedroom but it seems adequate for our larger suite. Here are some specifics on some of the primary features/characteristics:
Size: It’s not light! I was surprised how heavy it is/was when trying to move it upstairs. The wheels don’t work well on carpet due to the weight so make sure to move it to where you want it to be. Aesthetically, it looks nice and the all-white appearance doesn’t stand out in a gaudy way. You can tell it’s solidly built.
Setup: Takes a bit to get it attached to your window properly and window size may be an issue with the parts they give you, especially if the window is smaller such that the sliding window mount hold could have to be cut down. In our larger window, it was fine though they don’t give you enough foam sealing strip to do multiple windows. Since we have it in our primary suite temporarily, I just used the foam strip without permanently attaching it to the sill. It works fine and creates enough of a seal. The controls and remote are fairly straight forward.
Noise: It’s not quiet but it’s not bad either. If you use it primarily on high, the noise could get to you after a while, especially at night but we use it on low and medium and it hasn’t been an issue. You can definitely tell when it cycles on and is working to cool. Some have mentioned vibration noise and that hasn’t been the case for us, but it’s on thick pile carpeting.
Cooling: At first we were disappointed but over the next couple of days we were much more pleased. Cooling a larger room does take time and we’ve had to be mindful to close all the doors in the room including the bathroom and main door to the hallway. Less space to cool = better cooling and it makes a big difference. For our primary suite, we’ve not needed to use it on high. When cooling, we usually are using 70-72 degrees. You may or may not have to worry about emptying your condensation tank depending on humidity. We’ve been using ours for a month and did get an E2 message (condensation emptying) but there was very little water. We live in the PacNW.
Price/Value: After doing research, it seems like most things, you get what you pay for. Given the weight, the size, controls/features, I can’t say this B&D unit is a bargain but we’ve been pleased with its function. As long as we get years out of the unit and not months as some have experienced, I’m okay with the cost vs. function.
Overall, we’re pleased with the unit though would have liked more foam strip for multiple windows (easy enough to fix ourselves). Setup was easy enough and the function has been good. At this juncture, I would recommend purchase of this B&D 12,000 BTU AC for a small to mid-sized room.

Love this AC unit (8500 BTU). It’s surprisingly efficient. But please take note the window kit IS FOR A SLIDING WINDOW frame, NOT for rolling windows. Otherwise I would’ve given it a 5 stars rating.
