I am retired from HVAC/R contracting, therefore, I have NO dog in this
fight.

There could possibly be a vested interest connected with the put down of
Goodman equipment.
The leaks may have been at the brazed connections, even if they were not
there have been a lot of Brands with coil leaks.
Condemning Goodman equipment based on that reported incident is
irrelevant, as most of those components are Mfg'ered by the same companies.
Goodman has a good reputation with the testing firms.

If I were putting in a Heat Pump it would be a Goodman.

The latest models of Goodman equipment will perform as well if not
better than the higher priced brands & it comes with as good a warranty
as there is in the industry.

I can get you a 10 year parts a labor warranty on any brand.
So the manufacture's warranty is really nothing to base your decision on.

Flame a way fellas , but ive installed hundreds in the last two years and have
had but a small handful of warranty issues , i wouldnt hesitate to install or
back goodman equipment .
reasonably priced , readily available and generic controls ,a good warranty
program ,no need to wait a week or better for proprietary and often very
expensive parts as with , lennox, trane,Bryant etc ;-)

you wont hear me putting down their brands as pos's


me thinks the big boys are getting nervous ,
