What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
LG LP1419IVSM
Only one whitelisted tester, Reviewed (USA Today), published a hands-on write-up of this exact LG model. Reviewed names it Best Portable AC with Smart Functions, praising fast whole-room cooling, quiet operation, easy room-to-room movement and its ThinQ app, while flagging a flimsy filter cover and a build that is not the most robust of the units tested. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Among the best at cooling the test space; cools a whole room fast; Strong smart features (ThinQ app, Google Assistant/Alexa voice control); Easily movable room to room with good maneuverability.
Flagged: Filter cover feels flimsy, making removal and replacement fiddly; Not the most robust build among the units tested.
Black+Decker BPACT14WT
Only one whitelisted tester yielded a live, verbatim review of this exact model: Wirecutter's hands-on test (syndicated via Engadget), which names the BPACT14WT its budget pick — best-in-price-range cooling but the loudest unit they tested. TechGearLab was down and Reviewed tested only the 8,000-BTU BPACT08WT, so both were excluded. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Best cooling performance in its price range; Cheapest unit that still cleared their power and efficiency thresholds (EER 9.86, SACC 7,500).
Flagged: Loud — measured 64 dB on low fan up to 66 dB on high, with the most uneven, headache-inducing frequency spread of the finalists; Clunky touch controls with no tactile feedback and a panel that bows when pressed; Screwdriver required to install the window panel and remove filters; cheap-feeling casters.
