BLACK+DECKER Window Air Conditioner 8000 BTU, BD08WT6, White

Great unit! Works well and super quiet. It cools my attic bedroom efficiently and very easy to install.

Great value, works perfectly!

One year old and going strong. Got me through last summer's heat wave. Quiet and effective. Remote control is an added bonus.

Love it. No other size ac is worth getting, I love my room cold. Not too loud, doesn’t spit water like other brands. Not too hard to lift by yourself if you have too.

Positive: 1. Simple installation, although the copy in the directions lacks clarity and specificity, and it has typographical errors. If you have reasonably strong analytical skills, you can fill in the blanks. 2. 8000 BTU is adequate for 325 sq. ft. master bedroom. Negative: 1. As others have noted, the energy saver overrides all controls: i.e., even on cool (not just auto), when it achieves your set temperature, it will shut off, then restart when the temp rises. The owner should be the decision-maker if/when to use the energy-saving function. The workaround, especially at bedtime, is to set the temp sufficiently low such that it takes much longer to achieve the set temperature, and the room is good and cool. Yes, you're using more energy, but, again, that's your decision, not the manufacturer's. 2. The functions written on the control panel are a very light gray against white. Unless you're a Peregrine Falcon, you won't be able to see them. How this escaped the designers is mystifying, on a par with neglecting to include turn signals on a car. 3. Decibels: at 65, it is quite loud. Imagine the sound on a plane just as it is taking off, and that is about the same level. There are other units that are around 45, but they are significantly higher-priced. During the day it's not an issue, but at night, even on low, you may find it takes some getting used to. 4. The remote: another design mystery. If the intent was to make it as complex as learning to play chess, they were masterfully successful. Again, with time, you can learn the system, but it is a slightly uphill battle, one that customers should not have to go through. A meta-comment: I'm not naive about these things. It may well be the case that its competitors have a similar set of frustrating design flaws, or perhaps they have their own permutation. So the proverbial grass may not be any greener over that hill. My guess though is that if you want to spend $500, you will likely find something superior.

Excelente

4 stars only because when it first arrived it was completely the wrong item. However customer service acted very fast and was extremely sufficient. Item it self works better than expected and isn't to loud. We use it in a large bedroom but would work well to cool down a few open concept rooms as well

Great C/C unit for my pool house

Great air conditioner !
