About BLACK+DECKER 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
73% highlighted the control options, yet 27% found them complex
The temperature control is not accurate. Setting it at 76 kept the room around 71 and setting it at 77 kept the room around 81.
I am dissatisfied with the plastic window panels and feel that there is an opportunity to send better ones.
I have to constantly play with the control options as they are not user friendly.
72% liked the cooling capacity
I found that the evaporative-cooler can keep my recliner area cool, but not the rest of the 450 sq ft room.
I am impressed with the cooling ability of the evaporative-cooler. It kept up to a 112 degree day while I was working in the garage and keeps the garage very cool on 90-95 degree days.
I found the unit remarkable in terms of its cooling capability and energy efficiency. Based on my experience, I can say that my comment is experience-rich.
This evaporative-cooler is highly effective in keeping my garage cool, even on hot days of up to 112F. It also keeps my garage very cool on 90-95F days.
68% found it energy efficient
I didn't care about the energy efficiency of the AC unit, but it still cooled my space effectively.
65% were satisfied with the filter quality; although 35% weren't
I kept the filter clean and ensured proper air flow, but the heating system froze up and quit in the middle of winter.
I cleaned the filters and hooked it up the same way as last year, but the air that comes out is not as chilly as last year.
The evaporator trays were empty and dust covered for winter, which could be related to the filter quality of our evaporative-cooler.
75% found it quiet to operate,; however, 25% noticed vibration
The noise level of our evaporative-cooler is reasonable and typical for this type of unit.
The noise level is not as high as expected, which is a significant advantage.
The noise level of the evaporative-cooler is incredibly loud and it even drowns out a TV in a different room when it's on.
While the air conditioner is on, it is difficult to sleep due to the loud rattling.

71% appreciated the water tank capacity; however, 29% found it cumbersome
After using the heater for about 20 minutes, the water overflow tank fills up.
The internal tank filled up the first night and the unit shut off in heat mode. This indicates that the tank capacity is insufficient for long-term operation.
