Market context

Global evidencechange in the site menu

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.

Benchmark anchor. The score uses SH25T; model-specific cooling and current limits are not represented as values for every smaller family member. Scored model: SH25T · checked 2026-08-26. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-08-26

Strong evidence coverage

26 of 26 scored criteria link directly to a published source.

Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.
