BLACK & DECKER BXAC40006GB Review

The BLACK+DECKER BXAC40006GB Air Conditioner is a multi-purpose 3-in-1 appliance which operates as an air conditioner, a dehumidifier and a fan cooler. It has impressive effectiveness. For example, it has a cooling power of 9000BTU and can extract up to 22 litres of moisture per day. One feature of particular interest is the "Auto Breeze" function which automatically adjusts the fan speed up/down depending on the measured air temperature.

In terms of features, the unit has much to offer. It has two fan speeds which generate as little as 49dB of noise, a sleep mode which saves energy, a continuous drainage tube, a carbon filter for absorbing odours and a 24 hour timer for scheduling purposes. It also comes with a remote control that lets you adjust the appliance whilst you're on the sofa or across the room from the unit.
