Shown work

Every runtime is computed in the open from manufacturer specs — real duty cycles, inverter losses included — so you can check any number with a calculator.

How we work →

Sourced

Every claim carries a citation with the date we checked it. Anything older than 120 days blocks the build until re-verified.

Sourcing policy →

Disclosed

Some links earn a commission. They're marked, they route through a visible redirect, and they never touch a ranking.
