STEP 01 · What to Compare

Before Comparing AED Models, Know What Matters

AEDs may look similar, but the right choice depends on cost, usability, environment, and support after purchase.

Total Cost

Price, pads, battery, warranty, and support.

Portability

Important for large sites or mobile teams.

CPR Guidance

Some AEDs guide compression quality.

Language Support

Useful for diverse workplaces.

Environment

Dust and water resistance may matter.

After-Sales Support

Setup, service, training, and reminders.

Next: match these factors to your workplace type.

Step 02 · Workplace Fit

Match the AED to Your Workplace Type

Once you know what to compare, the next step is to identify which factors matter most for your environment.

Higher-risk environment

Factory & Industrial Workplace

Prioritise durability, CPR guidance, training readiness, clear access, and reliable support.

Office / Condo / Public Area

Prioritise simple access, visibility, signage, and basic familiarisation.

School / Childcare

Prioritise child use, language support, simple operation, and trained staff.

Mobile / Event Team

Prioritise weight, carrying setup, portability, and quick access.

Multi-site Organisation

Prioritise standardisation, maintenance planning, consumables, and training rollout.

After identifying your workplace priorities, compare AED models based on the factors that matter most to your organisation.
Step 03 · How to Compare

How to Read the AED Comparison

Before looking at AED models, use these four points to understand what the comparison really means.

01

Price is not total cost

Consider pads, batteries, warranty, training, and support after purchase.

02

CPR guidance has levels

Some AEDs guide basic steps. Others help users improve compression quality.

03

Weight depends on site size

If the AED must be carried across a large site, weight becomes more important.

04

Support affects readiness

Setup, familiarisation, servicing, and consumables help keep the AED ready.

Step 04 · Model Comparison

Compare AED Models by Practical Buying Factors

After identifying your priorities, compare the AED models based on cost, CPR guidance, consumables, warranty, support, and best-fit use case.
