About Black + Decker BPACT10WT Portable Air Conditioner, 10,000 BTU
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
84% liked the cooling capacity, although 16% felt it could be more efficient
During 117 degree weather, I found the portable air conditioner powerful enough to keep a 1200 Sq ft room cool.
My 12K unit can cool my son's 150 sq. ft room into an ice box in minutes.
I set the temperature to 74 and the room cooled down within 10 minutes.
The portable air conditioner is highly effective.

72% were impressed with the noise level, yet 28% found it slightly bothersome
I estimate the noise level of the portable air conditioner to be around 60-65dB of mostly white noise. However, after only two days, it fades into the background unless I think about it. Outside, you have to be within 25ft of the window to hear the almost silent exhaust flow.
The noise level of the unit is tolerable and not excessive.
Both units work well and are not very loud. The 12k may be a little louder than the 10k but my son loves the noise while he sleeps.
The noise level of our air conditioning unit is fairly standard - neither quiet nor super loud.

75% highlighted the portability and mobility
The portable air conditioner is easy to move around with 360-degree rotating casters.
Moving the air conditioner from one room to another is very easy and it takes only a few minutes to set it up in another window.
The wheels of the portable air conditioner roll very smoothly.
65% found the ventilation options useful, while 35% were indifferent
I found the window kit easy to install and stretchable to fit my 58" window. However, the exhaust hose is very short (about 5") and may need to be replaced with a longer one.
The exhaust vent panel for the window fits easily and is secured with insulated tape, making ventilation options easy to set up.
I have experienced that the portable air conditioner has two air streams - a cool stream into the room and a hot waste stream that can be vented via window or chimney. However, it cools the room much slower than expected and continuously draws uncooled air into the room, affecting its cooling capacity. This is my personal negative feedback regarding the ventilation options feature.
I noticed that the metal plate that mounts the A/C into the window transfers some heat from outside into the room and it is inconvenient to remove and reinstall each night.

68% appreciated the remote control and smart features

I am satisfied with the portable air conditioner's remote control and touch-sensitive controls. The blue digital temperature indicator light is large and easy to see from several feet away.
The remote control has an LCD that displays the mode, fan speed, and temperature settings.
The remote control made my life easier.
