Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have tested this product for about 2 months now, here is my findings. 1) it is a small AC for a 14,000 BTU, ideal if you are trying to save space. 2) The sliding window panels used to connect to the vacuum cleaner looking attachment isn't sturdy enough enough, the plastic pieces tend to bend when trying to connect. Luckily I had my old window set up from my 12k BTU Amana portable AC which was much more durable. I suggest B&D make those sliding window panel a heavier. 3) it blows ICE WATER cold when running optimal, but there is a catch here. The fans on this unit seems very sensitive to obstruction of air through the rear vent. I noticed after a day or two of running the fans started to malfunction to the point it sounded broken and I had to turn it off. I took the screen out and started it up again and it instantly started running great. To further test I put a piece of towel over a small portion of the fins at different points and the fans started to instantly malfunction. I think this is the give-to-get rule with a 14k BTU AC this small, because of its size you have to keep the screen VERY CLEAN at all times. I washed it every time I use it, and I have yet to have malfunctioning fan issues. When clean it blows very cold as will do so on any fan speed. 4) the remote works well, it can pick the signal up without you facing it with all options working immediately. 5) The unit has strong fans, it can blow air 10-15 feet up or down depending on how you adjust the louver's. It was able to cool a 400sq ft space that was 80 degrees to 67 degrees in a half hour, it's a little bull dog of an AC and it will run through the night. 6) if you are lazy, don't buy this, to get optimal performance you need to clean it/drain the water etc more often, but the reward is it kicks ass on a hot day.
