Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE6.0 / 10
Our takeThe R-410A model from Amana's 2023 redesign, rated 11,600 BTU/h cooling at EER 11.0. It needs a wall thermostat, and Amana's warranty PDF doesn't name the K series, so get written terms.LG's 115V 12,000-class wall unit, rated 11,800 BTU for about 530 sq ft. Cooling only, and its CEER is the weakest of the 115V sizes.

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. Amana's site now lists only J (R-32) models; the K looks like it's being phased out.LG strongly recommends a new LG sleeve; if you reuse an old one without redirecting its rear louvers, a failure isn't covered. Warranty is 1 year parts and labor from an LG authorized dealer. Replaces the LT1216CER, which LG also rated 11,800 BTU despite the 12,000 name.
