Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.5 / 10
Our takeBlack+Decker's inverter portable: 8,000 BTU SACC at a DOE-certified CEER of 12.0, about 45% less electricity per BTU than the BPACT10WT. The B+D we'd buy; little owner history yet.The window unit we'd put in a bedroom first: inverter, compressor outside the glass, CEER 15 and a suffix that isn't recalled. Skip it if your window is short or you need heat; no U has a heat mode.

Watch out forWe couldn't confirm its warranty terms; its manual's warranty pages didn't come through as text. The listing headline is the ASHRAE number; size by DOE SACC.CPSC recall #25320 (June 2025) covers the 8,000-12,000 BTU V1QWT, AV1QWT, W1QWT and U1QWT Midea U models over mold from pooled water. Read the suffix on the listing and again on the box label. Owners of earlier U models report a high-pitched inverter whine some people hear and others don't; buy where returns are easy and run it overnight on low fan in week one. When we checked in October 2026 this listing had no featured offer, only a third-party seller. Comfort Sense (remote sensor) fixes the built-in sensor's wrong room reading.
