Recommendation
The Zoll AED 3 is our recommended unit. The ability to switch between adult and child rescue at the press of a button is revolutionary. Other units require separate child pads to be purchased and changed every two years and the time that must be spent to change pads at the time of rescue is too long. The battery lasts 5 years and provides a warning when it is getting low. The real-time CPR feedback helps ensure that compressions are completed effectively. Wifi monitoring eliminates the need for physical inspections and eliminates the possibility of human error.
If cost is an issue and if there are no children at your location the Zoll Plus AED is a great second option. It has many of the features on the Zoll AED 3. The main difference is that it does not have the ability to for only one set of pads and to press a button to switch between adult and child rescue.
