This unit combines three energy-efficient functions for all of your ventilation and cooling needs with its cool, fan, and dehumidifying modes.

The self-evaporating operation of this Black & Decker air conditioner ensures that your living space remains dry and clean even without buckets or drain pans. You can turn on the Sleep Mode so it runs extra quiet while you work or sleep and to let it adjust the air temperature automatically at night. Easily control the unit through the included simple remote control or the top-mounted LED display.

True to its portable convenience, the Black & Decker BPACT08WT can be wheeled into any room with a siding or double-hung window.
