hi, how many btu is it? if i wanted to use this in my car, what rating portable power supply would i need?
@@shaunasilver9545 It is 1,000 BTU and 115 volts (AC).
Thank you for the review, it's hard to find a lot on this unit specifically. I wanted to mention that this device is really meant for very specific use cases. Folks mostly disappointed (or upset) by it are comparing it to a room air conditioner, which this thing is not nor ever was. One major use case for this is for anyone who works in a semi-vented environment and have to deal with high heat. If you work in the garage with a lot of chemicals for example, you have to leave the door open to vent fumes. But it also means you're going to be at the mercy of hot or muggy air with nothing to cool you down than a fan. This device helps alleviate a lot of that by specifically cooling down an extremely small area in front of it - so think of it as a personal fan with cold air. There's another device called the "Coolzy Pro" from Australia made with the same exact concept and use case.
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for taking the time to review!
A tiny ac!
I have a liking to small portable ac units.
So many folks miss that these are PERSONAL ac units, meaning they ONLY cool you, not your space, and have noticed unrealistic expectations comparing it to an industrial ac unit thats over 20,000 btu unit.
I have no such expectations, and therefore am extremely satisified with my units.
I keep looking for even smaller and smaller units.
I read its around 20 lbs.
How have you managed moving it around?
China made one that weighs 11 lbs, and I really want that one, but i cant get it here in the states, unfortunately.
Thank you for understanding and explaining to others what this AC is meant for! I almost removed this video as it seems so many people expect the world from it and I didn't want to let anyone down, but it is a great AC for what it is meant for!
I lug around products that are much heavier than 20 pounds all the time so I honestly don't think about the weight much. It has a nice handle and is a slim shape so I'll admit that I hadn't even considered the weight as a factor in whether or not to buy it, but that makes a lot of sense. Getting one that is only 11 pounds and works comparably would be impressive!
Finally a review on this! I spotted this as coming soon on Amazon a few months ago & it definitely has had me intrigued, I have and have had several portable ac units so I'm very familiar with them, I wondered about the hot air exhausts on this because they say no windows needed & I was like hmm that will not work well but I can see it definitely has its niche and you summed it up well. I think it's currently overpriced though! I saw it on bed bath and beyond for around 200.. 399 is just to much though anyhoo I'm thinking about it for certain area like hot hallway or something else in a pinch but waiting for lowest price, thanks for reviewing it!
You're so welcome! I also think the price will fall. I'm hoping it'll have a big drop for Amazon Prime days this July.
@@landmarkcm if you buy it validate my claim that this thing is useless and is no better than a nice fan
Thanks for your review, I been looking for one. What max size room do you think this will cool and how much BTUs?
It is a 1,000 BTU ASHRAE 128 (250 BTU SACC)
I find the design to be better as a personal AC to cool the specific space you are in. Like having it blast at you while sitting at your desk will be super cooling.
Don’t waste your time or money
It will NOT cool a room.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
You're so welcome!
My unit does not appear to be blowing cool air or warm exhaust, and the fan is somewhat loud but I'm not sure if that's normal. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot it before contacting customer support?
Its an overpriced fan.
A loud fan is concerning. The not blowing cool air and warm exhaust *might* mean that it has been on it's side in the past 24hrs. Usually ACs needs to stay upright and - if they get put on their side - need 24-48hrs upright before they'll work correctly. I believe this is so the oil in the compressor settles.
@@IronHokie Then yours isn't working correctly. But, like I've said in other comments, this is closer to an evaporative AC than a standard AC. It's designed for small spaces or as a focused cool fan blowing directly at you.
It's interesting how much controversy this AC has caused. When I read the reviews on Amazon - they are similar - some LOVE it, others hate it.
It has been upright for 48 hours, however I started using it after only 6 because that was the required and minimum amount of time needed until use.
@@Something-cb5mp Then I'd contact support. I'm so sorry it hasn't been a clean experience for you.
I have tried blowing the warm air out of a window and down a hallway. Save the trouble and hard pass unless you want an expensive, and awkward looking fan/dehumidifier.
This is a 1,000 BTU AC without exterior exhaust pipes. It is much more limited and is designed for specific applications. Like I said in my other response to you, some people love it, some people hate it! I'm sorry it wasn't the right fit for you.
Hola , creo que se pueda usar para refrescar una minivan Toyota sienna y sacar los tubos por una ventana ?
Aquello podría funcionar. Aunque no sé lo del voltaje..
Edit: wanted to add so I just scored this unit on Bed Bath & Beyond website for a grand total after coupon and promo for $205.41 much less expensive then amazon, I hope I like it!! Do you think this will be good for an upstairs hot hallway I would think so.. & does it hopefully have a decent strong/powerful airflow when on high speed?
Nice find!! It has good airflow, but I wouldn't say super strong. But it is quite cold air. I would think about where you want it to vent to get the most out of it. I personally still think it's better as a focused AC on you as you're at your desk, in the kitchen, etc than an AC that will fully cool a space so I'm very curious how your test goes! I hope you like it too!
@@alderandjade thanks ya I hope it works out, the main space I have in mind to try it in is just a small landing space/hallway area at top of stairs, space is only prob 100 square feet if that.. thinking I can direct the hoses into other nearby unused room which has a reg unit in there though to, but yea this should hopefully come in handy for that or like an emergency since it says it only needs 300 watts, If it's total junk well back it goes, Just looks like a better solution for small space then a regular fan or evap cooler.
Any updates on the performance of this unit so far?
@@CarlosLopez-cr6ne It does cool if you put your face 2 to 4 inches in front of it. Expensive fan.
My travel trailer is 50 square-foot. Will it cool that fast?
I would imagine so! It says it can cool 350sq ft, but I think 150sq ft is a better estimate. Just be sure you get the exhaust pipes to send the hot air out of the trailer somehow.
I bought this unit for my tiny 1974 restored boler travel trailer. It is the perfect size!
How wide are the exhaust tubes?
Roughly 2" diameter on each.
What are the box dimensions?
I need to ship one.
Thanks!
This information isn't available 😢.I wasted hours on the phone.
Granted, I'm in the Virgin Islands and Black and Decker doesn't support my location 😢
Unfortunately I no longer have the box. I watched my uncut video of taking this out of the box and there were two thick foam pieces in the box.
The AC is 8.23"D x 9.84"W x 18.98"H - I'd estimate the box/packaging added roughly 2" to the Depth and Width and 6" to the Height. So it's probably about 10"D x 12"W x 25"H...but that's only an estimate.
Ok thanks, I'm waiting to see it in Florida and test it before I purchase baggage to ship it.
Airline says it must be in original packaging.
Thanks again!
@@dondamondem I think that's a good call. Some people love it, but many hate this AC. It is very specific!
I just got this model and cannot get the water tank full light to go away so it will not work, any advice? The tank is completely empty
That's super annoying. I'd reach out to Black+Decker or return it as it sounds like you got a flawed one. My only other guess is that maybe it was on it's side and needs to sit upright for 24hours. These have coolant in them so they don't handle being on their sides well.
I trusted you this doesn’t cool better than a fan
Really?! That doesn't make any sense. It sends out a ton of cold air from the vents. I found the real challenge for this is that it's designed for tiny or focused spaces and works best if you can send the exhaust pipes out of the space you're in. Like I said in the video.
Another thing to keep in mind with all portable ACs is that they are limited. If your space is already over, say, 90 degrees, something small like this isn't going to make a dent. But if you put it in a small space and work to keep the space below 74, you have a better chance of it holding temp. Even our 14,000BTU LG window AC has a hard time when we let the space get too hot and can't get the room below 72ish on super hot days even when running full blast.
This is a 1,000 BTU AC without exterior exhaust pipes. It is going to be much more limited and is designed for specific applications.
I'm really sorry I let you down. I try to be as clear as I can in these videos. I do think this AC is far better than the evaporative ACs that it is designed to compete against. If your AC isn't sending out cool air, then there might be a problem with it. If it was tipped on it's side, it needs to be upright for 24hrs before use or the air compressor won't cool.
@@alderandjade you’re using it in a slightly warmer room than the whole house. In that environment it’ll work JUST LIKE A REGULAR FAN. This thing will not cool a hot room this thing only useful purpose is a dehumidifier. If you want to cool your room to the same capabilities spend 10% and get a fan there’s really no difference
Around how much does it weigh?
About 27 pounds
@@alderandjade Thanks
