This Week's Test
Whynter vs Black+Decker
Which portable AC actually cools a 400 sq ft apartment? We ran both for 30 days.
Whynter ARC-14S
Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner
Black+Decker BPACT14WT
Single Hose Portable Air Conditioner
The Verdict
The Whynter costs $102 more but uses dual-hose technology — it doesn't pull hot air back into your room. For apartments with poor insulation, this saves $20-30/month on electricity. The Black+Decker wins on upfront cost, but the Whynter pays for itself in one summer.
