BLACK+DECKER Portable Air Conditioner, 10,000 BTU, BPACT10WT, White

4 YEARUPDATE 2022: It's been 4 years since I've purchased this portable AC unit. I've been using it everyday, when it's not summer I simply use the built in fan for air flow when I'm working and white noise when I'm sleeping. When it's blazing hot during summer I have the unit blasting cool air in my home office while I'm working and when I am done for the day and want to chill outside of my office I can run my central air and save A LOT of money on my electric bill. This is an absolute must buy if you're looking for some AC relief without breaking the bank. I will without a doubt buy a brand new one the moment this thing breaks down on me but it's been going strong for 4 years now and I still can't see it breaking anytime soon! ORIGINAL REVIEW: The central air in my house is broken and it would cost me nearly $7,000 to fix it so I decided to pass and buy this portable air conditioner and it gets the job done for a far less price. It’s only been a couple of days since I’ve used this thing and it’s been a LIFE SAVER. It gets up to 110F where I am and this ac unit cools down my room within minutes! I set it to turn off after 1 hour to save energy. I don’t expect this thing to cool down my entire living room but I always go to my room after work and I’m satisfied so far. My only complaints is the less than helpful instruction manual to set this up but you can get an idea on how to install this thing from YouTube, my other complaint is that it’s fairy loud but honestly the benefit far outweighs the cons so it gets 5 stars in my book. I’ll be sure to update my review if I encounter any problems, but as of now I’d highly recommend this unit if you want to beat the summer heat every year. UPDATE 08/19/18: It has been about 2 months since I’ve bought and used the unit now and I still stand by what I said about this device, it is a LIFE SAVER! My area has been consistently hot all summer with temperatures ranging from 99F - 107! And not once did I ever feel the summer heat indoors. This was definitely worth the purchase and is an amazing investment for future summers to come. UPDATE 05/17/21: It has been 3 years since I’ve owned this portable air conditioner and I firmly believe this is by far one of my greatest investments. It has reached upwards of 119 degrees where I live over the past 3 years of owning this AC unit and it’s been a LIFESAVER. I do not regret buying this and I can say with full confidence I would immediately buy a new one should this one fail; as things stand however, I don’t see it failing anytime soon!

Love It! Saved Us from this crazy heat wave. Made noises during the first few days but somehow worked it out & no more noise! Definitely getting another!

I purchased the 10,000 BTU version of this on June 12, 2023. I like my office being colder than the rest of the house, so I thought that this would be an ideal purchase. On July 20, 2023 I noticed that the unit would beep twice and shutdown for no apparent reason. It would run for an hour and then shut off. I ran through every troubleshooting theory I could think of: check the water tank, clean the filter (it wasn't dirty), try a different location to rule out ventilation issues (single hose AC unit so it creates a vacuum and needs proper ventilation to take in the warm air in the room), and a different outlet. After doing all of these things, the problem still occurs. I reached out to BLACK+DECKER for warranty information as it is clear this is a defective unit and I received this email back - **We want to apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing with your Portable air conditioner. I will be happy to assist you. The product you are referring to is handled by a specialized team. They would handle all inquiries requesting warranty, literature, or replacement parts regarding this product. I would also like to provide you with their direct contact information for future reference. Here is the contact information: W Appliance Edit: Amazon won't let me post their company phone number Edit: Amazon won't let me post their company email address (Equity Brands email)** After being provided with this information, I thought that it was odd that the email domain "equitybrands.com" was different from the company name "W Appliance." I researched both of the names only to find out that they're the same company, except "equity brands" has such poor reviews with the BBB that they registered themselves under a different company name "W Appliance" which, unsurprisingly, has just as many negative reviews on BBB, Google, Reddit, and a few other review based platforms that I discovered. It seems W Appliance/Equity Brands has a history of taking possession of products to fix/replace and then never sending the repaired/replaced unit back. Additionally, I saw several reviews of people reporting their unit has been in the process of being "repaired" for over 2 years without being fixed/replaced. After the extensive research I've done to determine if it would be worth me contacting BLACK+DECKER's "specialized team" per the abundance of negative reviews, I've concluded that it would be less of a headache to simply buy a new product from a reputable brand such as Whynter, which I've used in my garage for 4+ years without any issues whatsoever. Very disappointed to see how poorly the quality of BLACK+DECKER products have become.

The air conditioner was easy to install and works well. It is a great unit. I was disappointed in the delivery, I was told someone had to be home to sign for this item. It was left by the garage with no signature required.

I’m really impressed with this portable air conditioner. It does a great job cooling the room and is especially helpful during the warmer days. I love that it has multiple functions, including AC, fan, and dehumidifier, so it’s useful for more than just cooling. The remote control is also super convenient, and I like being able to adjust the settings without having to get up. It’s fairly easy to set up, and the wheels make it easy to move from room to room when needed. Overall, this has been a great addition to our home and definitely makes the heat much more manageable. I would recommend it if you’re looking for a portable AC that doesn’t take up a ton of space.

I bought this back in June of 2023, and it’s been with me to over three different apartments, and I’ve only used it for the AC setting, and it’s been perfect. I don’t think it goes below 65 degrees, but for every bedroom I’ve been in, it makes it freeze. It’s not powerful enough to completely cool a 500sq ft apartment imo, but it can make it drop a few degrees if you’re trying to cool a space that big, just not below 70 degrees. Very easy to use. I like it.

UPDATE: DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT! I made the mistake of not following the reviews & there are a lot of reviews talking about the leaks.. After 2 months I noticed water all over my bedroom, thank goodness I have tile floors OR I would be all over Black & Decker. I cleaned it up not knowing exactly where it came from & continued on using it.. 2 weeks later I see water all over my floor again. OK now I am getting ticked off. I opened the bottom drain & nothing came out, no water at all. That is how the unit is supposed to work. WELL I recapped the bottom drain & opened the center drain. Only to see water pouring out. I immediately shut the drain, got the hose "which is too short" & drilled a 5/8th inch hole for the drain pipe, SEE PHOTO. Now understand I am using the AC in COOL not DehUmidifier & when using DehUmidifier mode you must attach the continuous drain. WELL AGAIN I am using it in COOL mod & yet the water is filling up a 96 ounce pan every 3 hours, comes to 3.5 gallons of water just over night & its coming from a place there should be NO WATER. OK so they are sending me a new one & actually I don't want it. After reading the reviews again, this seems to be a VERY COMMON ISSUE with this unit.. I guess I have no choice BUT to take the new one they are sending BUT if I see even 1 ounce of water again I am forcing B&B to take this back & refund my money.. At which point I will buy a second Midea just for the bedroom. This review is tricky, I had another brand "starts with an M" for my 800 sf living room that makes my room freezing. BUT I didn't want to spend that much for my bedroom which isd 350 sf. I must start with I live in S Florida where summers are just intolerable.. My building will not allow window AC units for insurance reasons so I needed to buy 2 portable AC units. My 2 ton central air is just not enough to cool down my place in the summer. After 5 years of summer suffering I bought 2 portables., This Black & Decker 10K is OK & I mean just ok, see my UPDATE REVIEW ABOVE! . It does Cools down the room & makes it freezing during the night. I do have 2 issues: 1) First issue is the Blue lights in the control panel, at night it is like a bright night light, way to bright to sleep, so I had to take a towel to cover the top so as to keep my room dark. 2) I have a sliding glass door in my bedroom I do not have a window. So I needed an 8 foot sliding door panel for the exhaust, Yep I have 8 foot sliding door.. the one with this unit only goes to about 60 inches or so.. I still needed 30 inches to cover so I took 2 USPS priority mail boxes & taped them to the door to get my complete exhaust panel to work.. In the photos or video you see what appears to be open air on the right sides, those are covered with 2 inch wide clear packing tape to be sure no hot air gets out.. See attached photos. I did a ton of research because I did not want to spend as much as I did for the living room unit. OVERALL there are better out there depending on what you need & your budget! I have not had this long enough to say how well it stands up to daily use..Maybe I will come back next spring and add durability. I will say this, can keep my CENTRAL AIR at 80 degrees all of the time & my electric bill has gone down over $3/day1

This was a big purchase for me. I have never owned a portable AC, and I didn't know what to expect. Reviews ranged from adoration, to loathsome, and I was nervous when I clicked the confirm order button. Let me assure you who are reading this that this was probably my highest rated purchases on amazon. My living condition is an upstairs loft in SoCal. It is a small, studio-sized room with a bathroom. The temperature, untreated, would reach up to 89 degrees inside. I was in desperate need for relief, but still hesitated at the idea of this machine. I was afraid I would be getting a loud, unruly, ineffective appliance that would plague my days to come. All these fears were blown away by the crisp, cool air this thing pumps out on the regular. Shipping -- Timely, and damage free. Instructions -- Clear and easy Setup -- Window installation may take some patience, but with minimal effort, it can be done in no time. (Remote even came with batteries included!) Cleaning -- I have not had to drain the reservoir or vacuum the filter for months now, but I could do so easily. (Shouldn't put it off, I should say) Sound Level -- If you keep it next to your bed, the sound could prove to be a hindrance, after hours. However, I keep mine at the window opposite my bed, and it still keeps the whole room cool, while I sleep in peace with barely a hum to be heard. Speaking of which... Sleep Mode -- This mode lowers the set temperature by 1 degree every hour. After 6 hours it returns to normal settings. (The lights even dim on the display! I like my room dark when I sleep, so this tiny feature was noticed, and appreciated. Commendable design feature.) Separate Modes -- Fan Mode: This mode turns the appliance into a normal household fan, with low / medium / high settings. (Again, the display is noteworthy for its easy-to-read level indicator.) Good for when you want to keep a cool room cool longer, and the output is impressive. Dehumidifier mode: I think this feature is great, but I haven't used it much. Dry climate and all. Remote -- can work in direct line-of-sight all the way across my room. Internal display is handy. Display is simple, so batteries last a long time. No issues. MAX Mode -- This is when you need immediate relief. Fortunately, this appliance can dole it out at the push of a button. Max keeps the AC on no matter what with fan speed adjusting as needed. I cannot count the number of times I walk in from a long, hard day at work and immediately search for the max button on the remote before I even drop my pack. (As Emperor Palpatine would say, "Unlimited power!!!") Timer -- This feature is hands-down my favorite part of the whole deal. You can set the AC to come on, at a preset temperature, anywhere between 1 and 24 hours. MAGNIFICENT! I set the timer for 75 degrees and nine hours before I leave for work at 5 in the morning. When I get home after 2, the machine is on diligently bringing the temperature back down from the afternoon highs. This saves electricity (those wanting to save money) and by extension energy (for all those wanting to go green, of which I was one), and keeps the room cool when you actually need it to be cool, even if you left the house/apt. ALSO, the timer can be set to turn the AC off (1-24 hour interval again). This is perfect for sleep mode on average-temperature days, or when you leave in the middle of the day, and want it to turn off when the sun goes down. And the display (I really love the display) gives you a little blinking dot at the bottom corner of the screen to let you know for sure the timer is on; this is great for self-doubters like me. (ME: Did you get that AC? 9 hours, okay? AC: I got it, bro, no worries.) All in all, I have a total of ZERO complaints about this appliance. If you are shopping for a portable AC, and are nervous about the reviews you see on all the listings like I was, I whole-heartedly recommend this product for a worry-free buy. Black+Decker, you rock, and thanks!

Great was so worth of your money

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.

Works very well pleased

Nunca pensé que funcionaria tan bien, para lo que lo necesitaba trabaja muy bien

Terrible product, it’s not working and continues to rattle. Don’t buy. Customer service has been difficult to get in contact with.
