BLACK+DECKER 12,000 BTU Smart Portable Air Conditioner | BXAC40035GB
When summer temperatures soar, this BLACK+DECKER portable air conditioner delivers serious cooling power without the complexity of permanent installation. Built around a robust 12,000 BTU cooling system, it's designed to tackle rooms up to 36 square metres while maintaining whisper-quiet operation at just 45 decibels.
The 3-in-1 design goes beyond simple cooling, incorporating dehumidification capabilities that can extract up to 33 litres of moisture daily, plus a standalone fan mode for year-round versatility. Smart controls via the companion app mean you can adjust settings remotely, whilst the power memory function ensures your preferences are maintained even after power cuts.
Cooling Performance
The heart of this system lies in its 12,000 BTU cooling capacity, specifically calibrated for Irish room sizes up to 36 square metres. Unlike basic units that simply push cold air, this model maintains consistent temperature distribution through intelligent airflow management.
The A-class energy rating ensures efficient operation, consuming just 1,345 watts annually under typical usage patterns. Two power levels provide flexibility between maximum cooling and energy conservation, whilst the adjustable humidistat automatically maintains optimal moisture levels.
Smart Control System
Modern connectivity transforms how you interact with your cooling system. The companion app provides full remote control, scheduling capabilities, and energy monitoring from your smartphone. Whether you're returning from work or adjusting overnight settings, complete control remains at your fingertips.
The included remote control offers immediate access to all functions, whilst the power memory feature ensures your preferred settings are automatically restored after any power interruption. This proves particularly valuable during unpredictable Irish weather patterns.
Portable Design
At 26 kilograms with compact dimensions of 33cm wide by 70cm tall, this unit balances substantial cooling power with practical portability. The no outdoor unit required design simplifies installation, requiring only standard window venting.
Cabinet installation compatibility means it can integrate seamlessly into existing room layouts, whilst the portable form factor allows seasonal repositioning between different areas of your home as cooling needs change.
