Amana Distinctions DHP 15,000 BTU PTAC
#6 in 15,000 BTUFull review
A plain heat pump PTAC for replacing an old unit in a standard sleeve. It heats cheaply, but has no remote or app and short full coverage.

2.8/5
A quieter, more efficient Amana for owners happy to run it from a wall thermostat or phone. It costs well above the budget brands.

Pros
- Bluetooth app sets it up and runs it from a phone
- Sound class STC 29 keeps more outdoor noise out of the room
- Heat pump heating costs far less to run than the electric strip in mild weather
Cons
- No buttons on the unit, so it needs a wall thermostat or the app
- Costs several hundred dollars more than similar heat pump PTACs
- Only the first year covers every part; years two to five cover certain parts only

Amana Distinctions DCP 15,000 BTU PTAC
#7 in 15,000 BTUFull review
For a room that mostly needs cooling and only light heat. Where winters matter, the heat pump version costs little more and heats far more cheaply.

A complete kit from a long-standing PTAC maker for a new wall opening. It costs the most, but the sleeve, grille and two year full cover are included.
