BLACK+DECKER Air Conditioners
Black+Decker is a household name in the U.S., but traditionally in power tools and small appliances — not air conditioning. Over the last decade, however, the company has carved out a space in the AC market by licensing its brand to OEM partners who manufacture budget-friendly cooling units, particularly for short-term use. While their portable ACs are better known, Black+Decker also offers a trio of window air conditioner series: the digitally controlled BWAC series, the simplified BD series, and the basic BD-M mechanical dial line. All are designed for ease of use and mass affordability, and while they look solid on paper, the real test is in performance and longevity. So — is the rugged branding just a sticker, or does it hold up in the heat?
Whirlpool Air Conditioners

Whirlpool is a household brand — not just in the U.S., but globally — known for dishwashers, fridges, and laundry machines. When it comes to air conditioners, it plays a quieter role, offering a line of window, portable, and wall units under its name (often through licensed manufacturers). While it’s not pushing the envelope on smart tech or inverter efficiency, Whirlpool ACs focus on reliable, consistent cooling and approachable design, usually at mid-tier pricing. For those who value function over flash, there’s something quietly reassuring about that.
