How we compared.
Official manufacturer product pages, specifications and linked manuals were source-reviewed on September 9, 2026. Ranking starts with the clearest match to the buyer task, then separates materially different fit, operation, connection and upkeep workflows. Every statement is limited to the exact named US configuration and manufacturer-stated facts; unknown purchase-package details remain buying checks.
