'Consumer Reports Jan 2005 rates Goodman as the lowest quality
equipment. Furthermore, they say that the installation is important, but
the quality of the equipment is also important.'

ME: Consumer Reports Oct. 1998 rates Goodman as one of the top 3
manufacturers and suggests (inferred) that you go with them. Since
Goodman took over Amana and they came out with a whole new line of hvac
equipment, the quality and performance is absolutely equivalent to
Carrier or Trane . Ive installed all three brands over 30 years.
