Just spoke to CS, they said to cancel & re order because they don’t price match (even themselves 🤦♂️)

Does this need a external vent?
ThermalRider
Yes, it has vent outside to expel the heat from the room you want to cool. (edited)

Had this 12,000 BTU model for two years and zero issues. It's mildly noisy, but keeps a massive room cool so it's worth it.
Ordered another one when I saw this deal posted yesterday for around £230 or so.
Noticed it had fallen further this morning so spoke to Amazon and basically said either do something or I'll refuse the delivery. The agent added a £25 Amazon credit to my account, taking the cost to under £210.
Now THAT is a bargain 🏻 (edited)
thorpe
Should now go and cancel and apply that credit to the £210 lol.
Think amazon are hit and miss with refunding stuff in transit - I gave the same ultimatum and literally was told to refuse delivery. So I did!
SaymynameSaymyname
Received mine this morning and have trialled it. Firstly, with numerous attempts to get the difference I paid yesterday is zero - they use the phrase we do not offer POST-ORDER PRICE ADJUSTMENT. So maybe if your order is not delivered yet u may get the difference. Got to say this is a little powerful AC (first time buying a portable ac). It is loud like any ac unit its the compressor I would say its like the industry fan . So if u don’t like the noise dont buy. It blows good amount of air. Buttons are easy to use. It has window kit 400cm so returned window kit I bought. The pipe is good thick plastic 1.5m i think but I purchased an extra 3m pipe. The Machine is quite big and yes its heavy. For the price now its excellent original £499. I got the meaco fans that was on offer on here , i would certainly pay the extra for the AC if u can cope with the industry fan noise. Thumbs up for me hope it helps anyone want to buy

what about sound level with the dehumidifier on only?

£1.05p a' hour to run it seems, and apparently top overpowered for most rooms that aren't huge
gary333
Wrong! I don't know why people who don't understand how air conditioners work always quote incorrectly things like this.
The maximum power draw from this aircon unit is 1.35kw. If it was to run at full pelt for 1 hour it would use 1.35kwh or 36.9p per hour. Obviously as the room cools down it will then go off and on as needed so power consumption reduces once you hit the desired temp.

Anyone have experience using this as a dehumidifier? Got mine a few days ago and wasn’t expecting it to blow out cold air from the front and warm air from rear exhaust. Thought dehumidifiers only blow out warm air.
gary333
Aircon units are not really suitable for winter dehumidification, and yes the air out will be cool (just not quite as much as with the AC in cooling mode). Much better off with a proper dehumidifier
TheFireGuy
LMAO! So glad I didn't buy this yesterday.

Excellent price for 12000 BTU aircon. The unit is 3.4 kW so with current average cost of .29p per KW, it'll cost £1 per hour. Not cheap at all.
tachyon
That's the cooling output, it only consumes 1.3kw. Pretty much any air con is always greater than 100% efficient.

hmm, a mixed bag of reviews, but tired of moving warm air around in the room with my Meaco fan! Was given the option of payment over five months, so took the plunge. Many thanks OP.
whitehawk
Looking for one of these with dehumidifier function. Emptying the tank on this would appear to be a pain with the cap right at the bottom and on the back of the unit which needs to be emptied with a drip tray. Do any units just have a bucket or similar you slide out and empty?
mughalprince
Was about to buy this as do need one for next year but lot of similar negative reviews. Parts missing, not made by B&D but 3rd party, noisy and so on. Not worth the headache
Fishyfishy
That was my take on it too. Especially given how difficult Amazon custome service can be nowadays it didn't seem worth the risk of ending up with a poor/faulty unit.

This seems really poorly rated, compared to other cheaper models on there. Is it just the brand that hikes up the initial price tag, or is there a genuine reason for it? (genuinely wondering, as an AC non-expert)
ASbardella
Looks like this was previously sold at £500, expectations are going to be way higher than one that's £200

Wondering how much energy this machine uses in the dehumidifier mode? I purchased a Meaco air conditioner in summer and now a 20l dehumidifier so would have been great to have everything in one device.
Kiririn
They run at full tilt in dehumidification mode. A dedicated dehumidifier is still worth having

Has anyone vented an ac through an external wall? I’m looking to do so but wondering if any of you have done so and if you used a reducer for the hose?
hitz
I've vented mine through a hole. I reduced to 125mm - only as that's the size core drill the builder working on a neighbours house had to hand. It doesn't appear to effect negatively but I don't really have a frame of reference.

I nearly bought this when it was £550 but managed to get a Delonghi one from Costco for £200 but I prefer the look of the black & decker.

I agree, one of nicest looking aircons I have seen
