Filters use published figures only. A product whose brand doesn't publish a value is hidden when you filter on it.
A machine's footprint isn't the space you need to use it. Where the brand publishes a recommended operating area we check against that; where only the footprint is published, a fit is shown as unknown rather than a pass.
The table shows the key specs. Tick up to 4 to compare every published spec side by side, or open a product for its full sheet. Line drawings show the type of equipment, not the exact product. Manufacturer-stated specifications. "Use length" and "Use width" are the brand's recommended operating area where published. Treadmill-only fields show "Not applicable" for other machines.
