Black+Decker 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Unit + 11000 BTU Heater, Remote, LED Display, Window Vent Kit, 4 Caster Wheels, White

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 It has a compressor so does cost a bit to use but is more cost effective than my outdated system.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.

In the past year, we added a 4 season sunroom to our house, but didn’t add HVAC. We generally leave open the original sliding glass door so the room is getting heating/cooling from the rest of the house, but found it’s not quite enough to keep the room comfortable when it’s particularly warm or cold out. So we opted to try this unit to help out. The room is approximately 12’ x 16’. We picked the 14k btu unit, which kind of sounded like overkill for the size of room, but with the large windows that are south facing, we thought the extra power may come in handy. Sure enough, it seems perfect for the job. Right now it’s hot out so we’re running the AC. It does a great job of cooling the air and does a decent job of dehumidifying it. You can feel the humidity difference walking from the main house into the sunroom, but it’s not terrible. Sound wise, it’s definitely not silent, but it’s plenty tolerable. When the AC is running just in fan mode, it’s plenty quiet, but even when the compressor kicks on and it’s running on high fan, it’s not that bad. You can still carry on a conversation, and we’re currently watching a movie with it running and it’s not interfering with our enjoyment of the movie. It’s not too loud that I wouldn’t be able to sleep in this room either. The included window kit wasn’t long enough to fit the big sunroom windows, but we were able to find a longer kit on Amazon that fit with the included vent hose. We haven’t tried the heat function yet since it’s summer, hopefully it works well also. Winter update - it is now winter and below freezing outside. So far the unit is doing a good job of keeping the room comfortable. One thing to note- if you try to run this unit and also run one of those portable electric fireplaces at the same time, it will likely trip your breaker. Update- we’ve gone through two summers and are now in our second winter with this unit in our sunroom. This past summer I felt like it just wasn’t doing a good enough job cooling the room. I was working on something near the ceiling and discovered it was incredible hot up there. I adjusted the vent on the unit so it pointed up towards the center ceiling and that made a big difference on cooling the room more evenly. My only real complaint at this point is that it’s pretty noisy for both AC and heat. You can generally have a conversation with someone else in the room, but talking to someone in the next room over is pretty much impossible.

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.

Hola amigos mi producto llegó dañado por UPS. Ellos no si cierro responsable me trai vuelta y vuelta. Amazon si me apoyo estuvo con migo en todos y me siento más seguro que si algo llega dañado tendré el mejor servicio por Amazon. 5 estrellas a Amazon 2 a UPS. Le producto enfría muy bien. Modo silencio tiene sus trucos pero me encanta el aire condicioando

Very noisy even on low, can hear throughout the house and it’s only 900 sqft. Window kit is horrible, exhaust hose is to be taped to window kit, it should have been made to snap in for security, it’s fallen out a few times. I would return and I tried but Amazon horrible to deal with.

Lo uso en una habitación de 21m cuadrados y no la enfría por completo pero la mantiene fresca alrededor de 6°C por debajo que el resto de la casa. Donde vivo la temperatura ambiente es de entre 35°C y 38°C, el manual dice que este aire funciona con una temperatura ambiente máxima de 35°C, dentro de mi casa la temperatura ambiente es de 33°C entonces si alcanza a refrescar, si lo usas en un cuarto de 10m cuadrados, si lo enfría. Uno de los problemas del AC es el ruido, tenlo en cuenta, yo lo uso en la habitación principal en la planta alta y cuando está en funcionamiento, no escucho si alguien me habla desde la pata baja ni el timbre porque el ruido si es algo elevado, si vives en departamento estoy casi seguro que te van a reclamar por el ruido tus vecinos. El otro detalle que tiene es la longitud de la manguera para expulsar el aire caliente qué es de 1.50m pero considerando conexiones y curvas qué hay que hacer solo te da 1.30m entonces si necesitas llevar la manguera más lejos que eso tienes que comprar las que venden por separado, la mas larga que venden es de 2.20m pero ya instalada te da 2m. Otro tema importante es el consumo de energía, lo he estado monitoreando y usándolo 8hrs a nivel alto para que enfríe a 20°C anda consumiendo como 12 kWh por esas 8hrs osea que se anda aventando un gasto en México en la zona del Bajiio de unos $80.00 pesos por esas 8hrs, entonces hay que tener cuidado con el uso porque te puede elevar bastante tu recibo de la CFE. Los tiempos de entrega también son muy largos, entre importaciones y aduanas a mi me lo entregaron casi 1 mes después de hacer la compra, recomiendo comprar la garantía extendida porque no hay soporte de la marca en México, pero con la garantía extendida ya te cubre la empresa que contrata Amazon. Comparando varias opciones de AC portátil esta es la mejor porque tiene buen enfriamiento, tiene deshumificador y calefacción para el inverno, entonces considero que es la mejor opción de las alternativas que hay.

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.
