Where the numbers come from
The guide only states what the day's catalog shows: each number comes from the reading on 06/11/2026, and the median is for heaters with the data.
The guide helps you decide and doesn’t recommend a heater for you: the final price is the one at the store, and the spec score doesn’t measure running cost or durability.
