BLACK+DECKER Window Air Conditioner 6000 BTU, BD06WT6, White | AC Window Unit Cools Up to 250 Square Feet, AC Unit with Remote Control, 3 Cooling Speeds and Fan Only Function, 12 CEER

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

Well I feel like I robbed someone. Bought the Used Like New for under $100. It arrived in original packaging and didn't look like it was ever open. Its really cold right now but I put it in one of my warm rooms. Turned it on. In a few minutes the compressor kicked on and it was blowing ice cold air. If you can grab a used like new do it. I actually bought a second one as I couldn't pass up the deal! We will see how long it lasts but I can say it came in great condition and worked as it should.

Unit is very easy to install in window and the remote control really makes its use easy.

It’s only March and already over 90 degrees where I live. No air conditioning in my place. Being a woman of a certain age, I can’t do the heat like I used to. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this unit because the price point was pretty low. But this one is well worth the price and then some. Arrived on time, exactly as advertised and blows ice cold air. Lots of features and not too loud. Definitely recommend

It takes a little getting used to because it seems to reset to the "auto" position after it's been turned off, and I like the fan on high even though that's a little noisy. Quality of the machine overall is good. The ECO setting is perfect - both the fan and compressor shut off when the temp is reached (as opposed to most window units that the fan stays in all the time and just the compressor kicks off ). It fits a single window well, though the self stick weather stripping did not stay stuck. I wound up caulking around it and figured it would be easy enough to clean off when we remove it for the winter. The buttons are hard to read, mainly because my windows are low, but I took a picture of the control panel so I can blow it up on my phone and determine what light is actually lit. I think the writing on the label could be a bit darker and the LED lights could be a bit brighter. (I swear, I'm not going blind!) Overall, it's definitely worth the money I spent. Not sure if they recommend a dedicated circuit, but I think that should be the case. It draws quite a bit of power when the compressor kicks in.

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.

12,000 BTU WORKS VERY VERY WELL . Have a fan to blow down my hallway .. was a 90 degrees out made huge difference in an hour .. box was dented and damaged back of ac but it worked and too hot out to send back , will definitely buy another

Long story short...I've had several units that barely changed the temp. This one turned my space into a refrigerator! Easy to use and phenomenal cooling.

It does the job of cooling the space but hard to clean the inside part when it’s time to put it away

Everything worked perfectly.

Had to wait to long for it to get to us, had another unit in .
