Very lousy job comparing.
RecPro 9.5 is listed as taking 12.6 amp, when actuall measurements are about 1/2 of that
Somebody got paid for promoting certain brands?
If you are going to mix 120vAC and 12vDC, at least convert to watts, so the reader can compare easily.
But also, you need to adjust for BTU output
- A duty cycle estimate would also be important. Who cares if the 12vDC uses 25% less watts but runs twice as many hours per day.
- A low BTU unit may not even get the interior down to a reasonable temp, so it really needs a defined test. A small unit may do OK in a smallish truck camper but fail miserably in a larger campervan that has a much larger interior. (unless you are in a desert, the swamp cooler is all but useless)
A simple table with the key data points would go a long way towards making this a useful article. At the very least follow a consistent pattern in writing the paragraph for each unit using bullet points so it's easy to find the data.
