BLACK+DECKER 12,000 BTU Air Conditioner Portable for Room up to 550 Sq. Ft, 4-in-1 AC Unit, Dehumidifier, Heater, & Fan, Portable AC with Installation Kit & Remote Control,White

DO NOT BUY! I never thought this could be so loud.... This piece of machine should be $300, but because of the supply shortage it was over $1000. I don't even know what is worse - the heat or the loud cranky sound!!!

This unit replaced an air cooler that I bought last year and this has been an absolute God send! I completely regret buying that air cooler and wish I would have thought of ordering this air conditioner instead!! I work night shifts and sleep, of course, during the heat of the day and this unit has worked beautifully cooling my bedroom down to a comfortable level. We have been having "a heat wave" if you want to call it that in my state with an average of 95 degrees and it has been doing an excellent job of keeping my bedroom cool and comfortable. Now, I've been reading some of the negative reviews about its cooling abilities and all I can say is that read what this units ability to cool is. I don't have the manual in front of me, but I believe it states it can cool a 200 square foot room, so if it's any larger, yeah, it might not do what you want it too. Other reviews talked about a difficulty to install but I had no problems. I have a very large side opening window and I ordered a widow kit (also off Amazon) that basically is strips of Velcro that you attach to your window and frame and attach a zippered material that fills in the gap between the two and you unzip where you want the exhaust hose to vent out of and it's simple as that! I don't live in a humid state so I can't say if the tank fills up with water often but the manual states that it shouldn't often? I'm sure that depends in the area you live but I don't think I'll have to worry about that but that seemed to be another "complaint" about his unit. So far, as an owner of a few days, I have absolutely no complaints. Easy to set up, cools my room perfectly and is so much quieter than an air cooler. I can hear my tv even on the highest fan setting. I also like the fact that I can heat my room in the winter so this unit can be used year round for me! I think if you can make sure it's capable of cooling your room, you won't be disappointed! And just for an update: Been using the heat setting and it works great! Real warms the room up! You just have to find a place for the vent to blow the cold air either outside or towards another room. I have the vent point downstairs and it works just fine. This unit really has been worth every penny

I wasn't sure about how this would heat, and granted I’ve only had it less than a week .. I pray it continues to work this well for a long time … living in a singlewide with less than decent insulation .. in the midwest .. heaters in winter are given a run for their money trying to keep the interior comfortable while its below freezing outside.. as long as you sit in front of a space heater that side of you gets warm .. well not with this baby .. (BLACK+DECKER Smart Portable Air Conditioner with Heat, 12,000 BTU (8,000 BTU SACC) Cooling, 9,000 BTU Heating for Rooms up to 550 Sq) it heats differently than a space heater.. it heats the air with a decent blower even on low .. it has adjustable thermostat to set a temp where you want it and it shuts off when it reaches that temp. The whole room and down the hall , even into the kitchen is warmed .. I’m impressed .. NOW THE ONLY THING is this .. unless you want to fool with draining every hour or so … HUGE PIA , yes this heater needs drained much like a portable ac , get aquarium tubing (5/8" ID x 3/4" OD ) and attach to the bottom drainage spout (yes it comes with a drainage hose to use, but we didn't have much luck getting it to flex how we needed it to, maybe you will have better luck) and drill a hole in the floor for it to constantly drain .. ever since we did that we haven't had to continuously manually drain it .. it only collects about 2 cups of water before you get the E4 warning light that calls for draining it .. and once you get that light, you wont be able to use the heater until its drained .. and here it happened every hour or so .. but other than that .. so far so good .. it truly is the best portable heater we have had in over 20 years .. hopefully it lasts a long time working as well as it does now .. the fan even on low is strong.. yes you can hear it but it’s a small price to pay for good heat .. I completely recommend this heater , esp if you live in a trailer

Like: easy set up minus the fact if you have a small window you’ll need to cut the plastic rectangle piece that sits in the window sill Gets room cold, fast Noise level is fine and doesn’t bother me Dislike: I’ll set the temperature to 69 on the unit and it doesn’t shut off when it reaches 69, so the bedroom is actually 67 degrees when set to 69, confirmed by my nest and baby monitor. So, setting a certain temp isn’t always accurate. Unit works best at 71 degrees and will shut off at 71, but then it won’t kick back on in the middle of the night to keep the room at 71, baby is in our room and I wake up hot when this happens, so I’m stuck waking up several times to get it cooler and then warmer Overall, I’m frustrated with the unit because temperature settings are not accurate. This unit is huge and heavy, so returning isn’t an option. I really thought this would be the brand to get!!! But it’s not accurate half the time matching temperature on the unit to the thermostats in our room and we have two thermostats. I was also hopeful this would lower our ComEd bill by cutting the house AC at night and just running this. It hasn’t lowered our bill AT ALL Update: first time using this in summer and the unit just runs and runs and runs and runs and doesn’t shut off at the set temp, so it’s still an issue. I don’t know why it picks and chooses when to run and shut off, but our room is 67 when set to 70. I don’t get it… FINAL Update: this thing runs nonstop. It DOES not shut off when it reaches a set temp. I set it to 69, it runs all night. Bedroom drops to 66…. Don’t buy this thing UPDATE again: it smells like cat urine now when it runs. I read to clean the filter, I do, and it still smells. I don’t get it!

Used for our summer cabin. Cooling helped out for really hot days and heating worked well too. The amount of water it collects needs drained alot. The drain should be higher. I had to left it up to get the water to drain into a pan.
