Amana RCC Prestige II Air Conditioner Overview

Running 18 years without one service call. It still cools the house to 68* F at night here in Florida! Great unit. I will buy again!

Granted, our Amana central A/C unit was installed July 1999 — right after we purchased our home. But seeing the posted problems some more recent owners have experienced, I wanted to praise the workhorse Amana unit that thankfully is still cooling our home. We purchased a 10-year Extended Service Agreement but in 17 years we've had one very minor service call that was handled in 30 minutes. My guess is this: Amana was sold shortly after our purchase, and perhaps their quality assurance has suffered. My unit was manufactured in Amana's Fayetteville, TN Certified ISO9001-compliant manufacturing plant. But did subsequent management changes move production elsewhere, or alter the quality of the condensing coils? Or has training for the installers suffered as a cost-reduction move? Hard to say. I can only thank the company for making a great, durable A/C system back when we shopped.

Moved into my new home 8 yrs ago. From day one there has been nothing but problems with the a/c unit, to no air circulating in different parts of the house, constant need of repairmen month after month. Still waiting for the issues to be resolved.

Very noisy outdoor compressor/heat exchanger unit. It's my opinion that inexpensive units like this Amana which the builder installed is noisier than more expensive units, but I don't have a way of comparing apples and apples.
