Our scoreNot reviewed yetNot reviewed yet
Our takeThe 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.The bigger 115V WallMaster, 13,500 BTU nominal with a 6,000 BTU low step, for a large room with a 27 in sleeve. CEER 13.2 uses about 20% less power than an LG at 10.6 for the same cooling.

Watch out forWarranty 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.Same sleeve and grille cautions as the smaller WallMaster. ENERGY STAR lists the older WCVT12B10A at these figures; we found no record for the B.
