Black and Decker Portable AC.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Black & Decker 3-in-1 portable AC units were top sellers last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 2020 they expanded their portable AC series to include more sizes for larger rooms — still the BPACT08WT appears to be the most popular.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and Decker offers this AC unit in 4 sizes:<\/span><\/p>\n

[table id=36 \/]<\/p>\n

As a 3-in-1 portable air conditioner, you can choose from the following modes:<\/span><\/p>\n

air conditioning, dehumidify, 3 fan speeds<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What’s surprising is how affordable they are — compared to similar BTU sizes, each is 10-15% cheaper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For this review I’ll refer to the BPACT08WT (8000 BTU) portable unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and Decker BPACT08WT Review:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The 8,000 BTU is perfect for smaller rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading buyer reviews I notice a lot of purchases are for city apartments — many buyers love how quickly it’s able to cool rooms in peak summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coverage:<\/strong> 150 square feet<\/span><\/p>\n

Room size:<\/strong> 15 x 10 ft.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Noise Level:<\/strong> 54 – 75 dBs (on high)<\/span><\/p>\n

FYI — I’m using info found on Black and Decker website. Some info online is incorrect (i.e. actual room size is 15 x 10 ft.)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Buyers confirm it’s easy to install.<\/span><\/p>\n

Takes only 10-15 minutes to install (comes 95% preassembled!).<\/span><\/p>\n

All models come w\/ a remote control and allow you to set your desired room temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n

other models include a remote, but only allow you to increase\/decrease power.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Buyers confirm that once you set the temperature, the BPACT08WT is quick to get there — reading buyer reviews, it takes only 5-10 mins to reach it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Temperature:<\/strong> 62<\/span>\u00b0F – 88<\/span>\u00b0F<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a few scenarios in which I think Black & Decker 8000 BTU would be a good fit for.<\/span><\/p>\n

bedrooms, city apartments or flats, medium-size living rooms, dorm rooms, or garage activities (like ping pong)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
