THE EQUIPMENT EDIT / HEAD-TO-HEAD
Two machines rated up to 44 lb a day, but actual water, control and cleaning routines are what separate them.
Both advertise 44 lb/day; this is a production measure, not 44 pounds held at once. Compare bin/storage capacity, water refills, cleaning and exact retail variant.
