All performance claims and pricing were taken from the manufacturer's literature and/or certified performance claims.
Many models were considered and not included in this comparison because of undocumented or exagerated performance claims. Only performance claims that have been certified by NSF or UL are considered "Certified" in our comparisons.
WQA is a trade Group that allows members to claim certification without full compliance to industry standards and does not require sufficient data from manufacturers to ensure accurate performance claims or material safety. We recommend that you insist on UL or NSF Certification to ensure quality and safety compliance.
