ACiQ 12,000 BTU PTAC Heat Pump
#3 in 12,000 BTUFull review
A cheap heat pump PTAC with a remote and a long compressor warranty. Register it online, since the parts cover is short.
Amazon $899$899
3.2/5
The cheapest way into a standard sleeve, for a room that mostly needs cooling. The one year warranty and strip heat make it a short-term buy.

Pros
- The lowest price at its size
- WiFi smart kit and remote come in the box
Cons
- Heats with the electric strip only, which costs far more to run than a heat pump
- One year warranty, the shortest here
- OLMO publishes no EER, so cooling cost is unknown
