How much does the BLACK+DECKER BPACT05SM cost to run?

About 15¢ an hour of cooling, or $36.44 for 30 days at 8 hours a day (less once the compressor cycles off).

5,100 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 6.1 is about 836 W while cooling. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the 8 hour figure by 7¢.

How does the BLACK+DECKER BPACT05SM rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (single hose portable ACs), 171 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its CEER of 6.1 is tied for 161st of the 171, and 16% below their median of 7.3. On cost, the same 5,100 BTU/h at their median CEER would cost about $30.45 for 30 days at 8 hours, $5.99 less than this one.

Questions

What is the BLACK+DECKER BPACT05SM's real BTU?
It's certified to DOE at 5,100 BTU/h SACC (seasonally adjusted cooling capacity), the rating DOE requires for portable ACs. A box figure labeled ASHRAE is usually higher for the same unit because it comes from a different test: SACC vs ASHRAE.
Is it single hose or dual hose?
It was tested as a single hose unit, per the DOE record.
How big a room does it cool?
About 150 sq ft. ENERGY STAR's sizing chart calls for 5,000 BTU/h in rooms up to 150 sq ft. A sunny room, a kitchen or a high ceiling needs more.
How much does the BLACK+DECKER BPACT05SM cost to run for 8 hours?
About $1.21 for 8 hours of cooling: roughly 836 W at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
