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 Sun Joe for its long record.
Prefer the LawnMaster for width options, depth and lower weight.
Yes, to 12.6 inches with 4 tines.

Neither listing rates soil types.

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.
