An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) delivers an electric shock to restart a heart in sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) — a condition that kills ~356,000 people outside hospitals every year in the U.S. alone (American Heart Association, 2024). Survival drops ~10% for every minute without defibrillation; the AHA's 3-minute placement rule exists for that reason.

AED Brand Review tests, compares, and independently ranks the 9 leading AED devices currently sold in the U.S. — no manufacturer pays us for placement, and we do not own any AED brand. Every device on this page has been evaluated against the same 47-point scorecard covering shock delivery, ease of use, pediatric mode, battery life, pad replacement cost, warranty, AHA/FDA compliance, and total cost of ownership over 8 years.

Use the filters to narrow by brand, environment (workplace, school, gym, public), or budget. Each device links to a full standalone review and the compatible pads + battery so you can build a complete kit in one session.
