Single-hose portable AC, 8,000 BTU ASHRAE. The cheapest unit here and the one where the ASHRAE-vs-SACC gap matters most — the real-world capacity is roughly half the headline number.

The BPACT08WT is the entry point, and it is the unit where the ASHRAE-versus-SACC gap does the most damage to expectations — the real capacity is roughly half the headline figure. Bought for a small, shaded, well-sealed room it is fine. Bought on the strength of the number on the box, it will disappoint.
Pros
- Lowest price here
- Light and easy to move
- Simple controls
Cons
- Real capacity is far below the ASHRAE figure
- Single hose, fixed speed
- Struggles in anything larger than a small room
