Brand
We track 7 Amana air conditioner models: 6 window units and 1 PTAC, 5,000 BTU to 15,000 BTU. 6 are in stock at a retailer right now, from $189.99. 12 CPSC air conditioner notices we hold name Amana, from 1992 to 2026. None of the 7 Amana models we track that state a model number is named in a notice we hold, which is not a safety certification.
At each standard size where Amana and another brand both have a model in stock, we check whether Amana's cheapest model is the cheapest, its best efficiency rating the highest and its quietest verified noise rating the lowest. A price counts as cheaper only by at least $20 and 5%, and only between models installed the same way (a do-it-yourself kit is not priced against an installer-fitted system); anything closer is level. We do not rate reliability: no public data reports repair rates by brand.

Every notice we hold that names the brand, newest first, whoever filed it, including notices for models no retailer we track sells. A notice covers the model numbers it lists, not every Amana unit.
