Easy setup, great cooling and heating. 10/10
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Saver in Oklahoma Weather I’ve owned this unit since June 2025, and it has been an absolute lifesaver. Living in Oklahoma means dealing with scorching summers and plenty of humidity, and this portable AC has handled it all with ease. The cooling performance is excellent, and the heating function works just as well during colder months, making it a true year-round solution. Setup and installation were surprisingly simple. I had it up and running quickly without any issues. One thing I noticed is that the unit sits a little low to the ground, so I had a small 2-inch platform made for it. This allows the drain hose to flow directly into a 5-gallon bucket from Lowe’s, which I empty once or twice a day depending on humidity levels. The unit is also impressively quiet for the amount of work it does. Of course, you’ll hear it running, but the noise level is very reasonable and never disruptive. As with any appliance, regular maintenance is important. I make sure to clean the filters and keep the unit clean, which helps it run efficiently and should extend its lifespan. Overall, I absolutely love this product. It’s reliable, effective, easy to use, and has kept my home comfortable through Oklahoma’s extreme weather. I would gladly purchase it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a portable heating and cooling solution!!

Works like a charm with the exhaust through the dryer vent
I've seen lots of other people posting around online asking how this can be done, so this review is also meant to help anyone trying to set a portable A/C up like this. I knew when I bought this unit that I wouldn't want the exhaust feeding out the window. Not only would it look weird there due to the layout of my apartment, but I didn't want even more noise from the street to make its way into my room while I was sleeping. So, since I'm next to my laundry room, I figured the dryer vent would be the perfect solution to get the A/C exhaust out of the building. Since my (and most) dryer vents are 4" and the A/C exhaust is 5", I went to Lowe's and bought a 5"-4" reducer and mounted that on a wall mountable back-draft damper. When the A/C isn't being used, it looks natural on the wall and helps to prevent any dryer dust from coming through. From there, the 4" ducting goes through the drywall into my laundry room and behind the dryer. I attached it to a 4" wye connecter with one end attached to the dryer vent and the other end to a 4" 200 CFM duct fan (see below for a link). Not only is this required since portable A/C units don't push exhaust out with enough power, but clothes dry way faster now too. To turn the duct fan on and off, I used a temperature controller (link below) with a probe inside the wye that is set to turn on when the temperature reaches 90 degrees. When just the A/C is running, the temperature gets up to 130, and when just the dryer is running it hovers around 100. The only downside of this system is that I can't use the dryer and the A/C at the same time, but that isn't a big deal to me at all. All in all, I'm really satisfied with the way this is setup. Not only does it look natural, but I can keep using my window on nice days without having to move the A/C unit. As for this unit itself, I couldn't be happier. I have a feeling a lot of these bad reviews are either units that were damaged during shipping or installed improperly, but I've always liked Black and Decker so I thought I'd give it a shot. Pros: - Cools an entire room in no time. I keep my room at about 70-73 during the day, but I can't sleep unless it's a lot colder, like 65-68. As soon as I'm ready for bed, I turn this puppy on and the room gets down to that temperature easily. I'll honestly never be able to sleep without one again. Plus, the white noise is a really positive side effect of having it on. - Easy to use remote and control panel. There's really nothing to it, just turn it on and set the temperature and it's off to the races. - The fan mode is great for circulating air. I hate stale air, and it keeps everything feeling fresh, even with the A/C off. - I've tried the heating mode once, and it really works. It sounds like it just flips an internal valve or something, but instead of removing heat from the room and exhausting that heat, it does the exact opposite. So I'd assume the air coming out is around 130 (mentioned above), but it definitely isn't dangerous and doesn't feel hot to the touch. - I've been using this for a few months now and haven't had to drain any moisture once. Cons: - Since I use this when I sleep, I always have to cover the LEDs with a drink coaster and my wallet before I get in bed. Even when the unit is in sleep mode, those LEDs are pretty bright. - Speaking of "sleep mode," I understand the idea behind it, but I like the temperature to stay constant all night so I don't use it (sleep mode will raise the temperature by two degrees over the course of 6 hours, then it'll turn off). - This is just me being picky wishing for pretty crazy features, but I really wish this was "smart" enough to be controlled by an Echo/Google Home. It'd be great to be able to turn it on and off with my nightly and morning routines. "Alexa, good night" already turns the lights off, but I'd love to hear this A/C kick into high gear at the same time. - Duct fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTM0H6I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Temperature controller: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HXM5UAC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Bad design on this Black + Decker 4 in 1 air conditioner, heater, fan..! Don't waste your money!
I bought this Black & Decker portable air conditioner / heater and I'm really upset because the customer service for Black & Decker is horrible! I have been calling them for 2 years because they sent me broken parts that were in the package and I wasn't aware of that. And it's the adapter that attaches to the hose it goes out the window. They sent me a new piece that's actually too small and I have no use for it because it doesn't fit this device even though I provided them with the model number. I have left so many messages I've sent emails they do not respond I told them they sent me a part that is useless again they don't respond. And on top of it it's a dehumidifier and a fan as well so the dehumidifier has a hose that comes off the bottom of the machine. The problem with the location of the hose is that it wants you to put it into a bowl the problem is that the water doesn't go uphill so you end up with puddles I have piddle pads underneath it up is what that I had used because the bowls didn't work. So that it's a really good idea to have a dehumidifier I guess although I have my own separate device. But to have it just water just go all over and that the hole is doesn't it's garbage it's just cheaply done like you just like plastic fish tubing that you use for an aquarium and you just plug it on the back and it just drips everywhere. But I'm very disappointed because I used to believe so much in Black & Decker but this product I do not recommend for numerous reasons because the product is made poorly. The location of the dehumidifier draining tube is in a horrible spot that's going to do nothing but ruin your floors or rugs. And lastly the customer service sucks like you might be getting somebody in France their voice sounds cool but the fact that they have no parts available they don't know when parts will be in and then they randomly send you a part that doesn't fit and they think it's a case closed and your device is still now it's out of warranty and the part that they sent is not compatible. I say shame on Black & Decker and don't buy this because for the money there's other ones out there I mean I just bought a GE window unit that seems to be working a lot better than this portable one here and it doesn't make the mess or the noise! The picture I included is the replacement piece that they gave me up against the original hose. You should be able to see that the replacement part is about an inch and a half to 2 in smaller than the size of the hose I believe they sent me a 4 in replacement part and the tube is 6 in. Shop somewhere else like LG or GE or Samsung don't waste your money or your time with black & Decker's portable smart heater air conditioner fan dehumidifier! Oh and it's not smart

Pleasantly surprised
Circumstances beyond my control forced me to switch from using a window AC to a portable one. So I went in skeptical but am now pleasantly surprised. I picked this one because of the space I have it didn’t seem as bulky as the others and generally has good reviews. It is important to pay attention to not the top line BTU number dig in and look for the SACC or DOE BTU rating. That’ll actually tell you how effective it’ll be for your space. I have about 250 sq ft that I really needed to keep cool. So this works for that. I do think there might be some misleading advertising as the SACC BTU was 10,200 in the listing but when I got the box it has 7,700 as the DOE rating. I assume they are essentially the same but I could be wrong on that. Also the panel and remote do not look as is in the listing picture. But I overlooked those things since it is working. I did have some water leak out after the first couple days but I have an uneven floor and also live in NYC where we can have really humid days. So I made a platform and played around with closing my bedroom door to help it run more efficiently and so far that seems to have worked. I haven’t seen any more water drip and I can leave it in the 75-78 temp range and be comfortable in the space. Be wary if you live in an older home you might get a musty smell. Since it is pulling air from every inch of your space, if there are little crawl spaces where air can come through you’ll smell it. I live in an older apartment so I have a bit of that. Not so bothersome that I’ll stop using it but it could vary from home to home. Also it’s not really quiet. It sounds like an AC running, even in low setting. So if that’s bothersome to you wouldn’t get it for a bedroom, might keep you up. I happen to like that noise for sleeping so didn’t cause me issues.

Could easily be WAY BETTER 6 week review
I purchased this over a same priced same 14000 btu different brand with wifi based on the fact that this unit has the best reviews. The heating and cooling power is quick and works very well. Now that Ive had the unit for 6 weeks i can say i have a few major complaints. The remote is IR and because I have my unit behind the couch it doesn't work to control it, and there is no wifi or bluetooth either. So I have to walk up to it which brings me to the other complaint. NO AUTO MODE. The unit does not switch between cool and heat which means that when I go to work the unit will not keep the room temperature constant!!!!! This is an engineering oversight and super lame. No built in condensate pump I had to buy one and add it and it wasnt cheap or easy. The unit very quickly fills the lower condensate tank in heating mode, within 2 hours. This means that if you're using this for heating you will HAVE TO HAVE it drain or be pumped constantly otherwise the unit will not function as it shuts itself off when the tank fills up. There are very few options to pump the condensate because these portables all strangely have the drain less than 1 inch from the floor. There are a couple of options for pumps i bought the Fujiwara pump here on amazon and it works well. I would have easliy paid $100 more for a built in condensate pump because installing an external pump takes an hour and makes the unit a lot less portable.

This is a great A/C , Heat unit
This unit works fine and was fairly easy to install. It took me about 20 minutes to get it hooked up. It seems to be a nice product. However there were a few glitches with the window sections. 1). There is supposed to be a small metal stop to hold the two window sections in position. Upon opening your supposed to remove the plastic shipping stop and insert the metal one. My box didnt have a metal one so i had to use the shipping plastic piece. 2). The screws provided to secure it to the sill have no points. I had to start the holes with a drill bit. 3). There were 3 sections enclosed and one was cracked and broken. Lastly the installation instructions are a bit hard to follow. I had to read them a couple times to understand everything. But with that said, the remote works fine and the unit runs quietly and cools nicely. To use heat mode there is a clear rubber hose that is required to be hooked up for water drainage. It is HEAVY and will require 2 people to lift and move it while in the box. Also do not cut the plastic strappings away until you are ready to unbox it. The box lifts off the base to reveal the unit. Follow the directions on the top box flap to open it up. 9/14/23 Update! Still loving this unit. This will be my first winter using heat mode. So far so good. (See my video). I live in MI so we use some heat in September. The unit is a little loud in both A/C and heat modes but works perfectly. My issue was draining the water tank in winter. The drain port is way at the bottom. Having to port the exhaust at a window created a challenge. So i am buying a set of heavy duty furniture risers and cut a small section of the drain hose and the water is going into a pan on the floor. I empty about 3 to 4 inches of water every 2 or 3 days. Right now its on a small stool until the risers come. I def would buy a second one. 01/05/2024 - update. This unit has become my primary heat source and works fine. It has a compressor so does cost a bit to use but is more cost effective than my outdated system. I still have it on a stool and its working fine. As the humidity went down the drain pan is dry as well. This unit is a little loud as I said before, but im used to it now. It is heating about 3/4 of my 900 sq ft home. 07/2026 update: I lost my first unit in a local flood event. I am living in my camper while I fix my home. My camper has no AC. So I purchased a new identical unit with the current upgrades of wifi and easier assembly of the hose. I have added one more photo of it hooked up to my camper window. It is working a charm as expected!

AC Works Ok, Heat Sucks
I bought this one after researching different air conditioners and liked that this one offered AC as well as heat, since we don't have a working central unit. I used the AC through the Summer and Fall. It kept the living room comfortable enough. On our 100⁰+ days, it was around 80⁰, which was to be expected. I kept the temp set around 78 - 80⁰ so the unit would cycle off and have a chance to cool down. Now its December and I'm hating this unit's heat function. It started out well enough and was keeping the room decently warm. I did have to elevated it to allow the tubing to drain into a jug so it wouldn't turn off because of a full drain pan and need to be drained every 30 - 40 minutes. However, even with it being allowed to drain, the unit freezes over far to easily and forms condensation on/in the exhaust hose. I have found frozen condensation on the outside of the exhaust hose numerous times, I have raised it and had (A LOT of) water run out of it, it drips the accumulated water all over the floor. You can hear the difference as ice begins to accumulate inside. You'll begin to hear what sounds like chunks of ice falling as it cycles on and off. It cycles on and off more frequently as it's not really heating the room adequately when it is freezing over. The only thing I can do when it begins doing this, is turn off the power and let it defrost, sitting in a cold room as it does so. I'll now gave to find a different heater that actually works. I had expected with the Black & Decker name, this would be a unit I could depend on to work and do what it was supposed to with minimal frustration. Sadly, it has not lived up to the name, nor the expectation. Since only the air conditioner function has been useful for me, this was a waste of money and I can not recommend it.

best portable ac
Best AC in this budget! I’ve been using it for the last month. Before this, I had another portable AC, but it barely cooled my room. This unit cools my room from 90°F to 70°F in about 20 minutes. My room is an extended part of the house, about 14 ft × 12 ft, and it gets direct sunlight all day, so it’s usually very hot. Even so, this machine works great.It also came with all the window sealing accessories, which were easy to install and do a great job blocking hot air from coming in. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Excelente producto
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.

Saves you from the heat 🥵
Solid AC. Cools the room very well and very efficient. A bit noisy but it’s expected from a portable unit. I would highly recommend for the summer months.

Great AC!
Was really happy to get for $485 during Black Friday. Patiently waited for months. No manual came with it but I printed it out from website. Super quiet and efficient. My old one is an aged window ac that vibrated the house, so compared to that it’s whisper quiet. I like fan sounds at night so perfect! It’s winter here in BC but from what I tested, it’ll be great for heat waves. Window kit is fine and decent quality. Unsure if I need to get the insulation for the hose as I’ve read from reviews it gets hot, I’ll figure it out. The heat function is good but I’ll be using for AC only. Moves around easily with rollers. Let sit for 24 hours before testing out. It never said in the manual, but an fyi for others wondering. Drain hose is pinched/flattened but I’ll be draining with a pan when needed. I’ll post an update summer/26.

Buen producto
He visto reseñas que dicen que es muy ruidoso, y en realidad lo es (no mucho). Yo les digo, no quieres ruido? pon un minisplit que tenga el motor fuera de tu habitación. Este es un aparato que tienen el motor y compresor dentro de la unidad, por lo tanto dentro de tu habitación, no se que creen que va a pasar.

Llegó tardísimo .. no lo he usado ni 20 veces y marca esta falla
Es ruidoso .. a pesar que Amazon hace la logística .. se tardó muchos muchos meses .. no enfría por debajo de los 20 c en un cuarto pequeño … definitivamente mal mal mal
