Our takeThe small Amana J heat-pump PTAC, EER 12.4, for a room that needs heat and cooling through a 42 in sleeve. Like every Amana J, it needs a wall thermostat.The small Distinctions heat-pump PTAC, COP 3.4, with controls on the unit. We found no verified listing to link.

Watch out forWarranty is 5-year limited, but years 2-5 cover functional parts only (no labor) and labor needs an authorized PTAC servicer; faulty installation is excluded. No control pad on the unit; a wired wall or Amana wireless thermostat is required. Amana's K-series (PTH123K) is the older R-410A platform with different ratings.Warranty is 5-year limited from purchase; years 2-5 functional parts are parts-only, labor needs an authorized PTAC servicer, and faulty installation is excluded. A Daikin-made line sold under the Amana name; don't assume Amana J or K specs or controls carry over. Plug type isn't in any Distinctions document we could verify; read the cord tag and nameplate.
