Values are copied from each manufacturer's product page or spec sheet (linked on every model page) and shown in the maker's own units. Speeds measured differently (per minute, or with no unit stated) aren't converted and sort last. Amazon links appear only where we confirmed the listing is this exact model with a current offer; otherwise the link goes to the maker's page, which lists its dealers. We don't show prices.
