Choose if	You want a small panel for one area at a time, with lab-measured output at the distances you'll use.	You want a full-length 660 and 850 nm panel, on sale for several hundred dollars less than a Joovv Solo 3.0 or BON CHARGE Super Max, and you can hang it with the included kit and wait for delivery.	You want a full-length 660 and 850 nm panel that hangs on a door, with output given at several distances.
Main trade-off	Elective returns cost a 20% restocking fee plus shipping, and the tabletop stand is $119 extra.	Power draw and the FDA badge are unclear for this model, the backorder notice leaves delivery timing uncertain, and returns need RMA pre-approval and cost a $15 restocking fee plus return shipping.	Its output figures aren't backed by a named test, it has no pulse or dimming, and return shipping comes out of your refund.

Warranty	Three years. PlatinumLED's warranty page says it runs from the delivery date in one place and from the purchase date in another. The refund policy says purchase. It covers a light that isn't working properly. PlatinumLED decides case by case whether to send parts, troubleshoot by phone or email, or replace the unit with a new or refurbished one. Claims need photo or video evidence. Drops, misuse, opening the panel and damage from mis-inserted stand screws aren't covered. Only the original buyer from PlatinumLED or an authorized reseller is covered. Neither page says who pays shipping on a claim.	2 years, per the spec list on the product page. Kala's return policy says that outside the 30-day return window, its warranty program 'may cover repairs or replacements'. Final-sale items remain under warranty service, and you make a claim by emailing Kala with proof of purchase. Coverage details and exclusions weren't found. The shipping page whose web address mentions warranty gives no warranty terms.	Three years on the PRO1500, per the product page, the store listing and the manual. The manual counts the three years from delivery and says the warranty covers all parts and labor. Hooga's warranty page says coverage starts on the date of purchase, with no activation step. Abuse, misuse, modification, drops and non-Hooga parts aren't covered. If Hooga needs the panel back, you pay to ship it. Claims go by email to contact@hoogahealth.com.
