Third-party reviews

What we like about BLACK+DECKER BXAC40006GB

  • Cools down small to medium spaces quickly and effectively
  • Versatile 3-in-1 functionality operating as an air conditioner, dehumidifier, and fan
  • Simple and fast installation process with the included window kit and seals
  • Convenient remote control allows effortless adjustment from a distance
  • Equipped with smooth casters/wheels that make it easy to move between rooms
  • Useful 24-hour programmable timer helps manage energy use automatically

What we don't like about BLACK+DECKER BXAC40006GB

  • The compressor produces a loud and annoying whining noise that makes it difficult to sleep through
  • Heavy and bulky design makes it physically demanding to carry upstairs or store away
  • Requires a large exhaust hose positioned through a window, which takes up notable interior floor space
  • The included window seal kit may require extra modifications or adhesive tape to prevent hot air from leaking back in
  • Lower overall energy efficiency compared to traditional window-mounted units

Verdict

The BLACK+DECKER BXAC40006GB is a 3-in-1 portable appliance that combines a 9,000 BTU air conditioner, a 2-speed fan, and a dehumidifier capable of extracting up to 1.1 litres of moisture per hour (26.4L/day). Designed with Class A energy efficiency, an input power of 1000W, and eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, this unit optimally treats spaces up to 18m² while offering an adjustable temperature range of 18–32°C. Main advantages include highly flexible operations via soft-touch LED controls, a 24-hour programmable timer, an included remote control, 360-degree castor wheels for easy mobility, a carbon filter to eliminate odours, and a self-evaporating window ventilation system that minimizes manual draining. However, notable drawbacks include its substantial maximum sound power level of 65dB (though the compressor can operate at 49dB on low speed), a total item weight of 23kg, and the bulky, floor-standing footprint common to portable units.
