Our scoreSCORE5.9 / 10Not reviewed yet
Our takeThe large Amana J, 14,600 BTU/h cooling. Its 3.5 kW strip is the same as the 12,000's, so once it's on strip heat it heats no better; size it on cooling.The size step for a bigger room, 14,700 BTU/h cooling. It has the same 3.5 kW heater as the 12k, so on strip heat it heats no better; size it on cooling.

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. The Amazon listing states EER 11.4; the brochure's 10.6 governs.
