Boy, does that manufacturer's site stink.
As does many others.  :/

List models, copy and paste generalities and zero specifics.
Chase a potential customer away, due to product advertisement by
labyrinthine methods.
One ponders learning how said site managers hired their webmaster/PR
type. Just to avoid hiring such incompetents.

Sorry, venting frustration. Looked like a nice unit, but the page
stinks, as so many other vendor sites stink for product specifics and
differences between multiple models of the product line.
There are times I honestly think that these companies say, "No! We do
not WANT money! We want (the method or other effort) to suck, to chase
away those pesky customers!
The rest of the time, I think, "Hire the incompetent, they work
cheaper".   :/
