A tick means one listing published something the other did not, or published a better figure. It does not mean the product is better, and the column is not a score out of anything: a maker who says less loses lines here without losing a comparison. The two verdicts below are where the page is settled.
Prefer the CRAFTSMAN. It costs less, rates higher and has a longer warranty.
Prefer the Black+Decker if you want its EdgeMax deck and a published bag size.
Yes, both mulch, bag and side-discharge.
CRAFTSMAN’s 20.8 lb looks low. Black+Decker lists 46.9 lb.
Use the outdoor gauge the manual gives.

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
