Dessalator D100 DUO vs Dessalator D60 Freedom
D100 DUO costs 1.3× less energy per litre (7.0 against 9.2 Wh/L). D100 DUO makes 1.7× the water per hour (100 against 60 L/hr).
One side of this comparison rests on a reported figure. Dessalator D100 DUO and Dessalator D60 Freedom are published by the manufacturer and corroborated across independent lookups, but we have not yet read the figures page-in-hand the way we have for the rest of the table. The comparison is shown because it is still the best available, not because it is settled. Dual-power unit. This row is the DC mode at its stated 700 W maximum; the AC motor is rated separately and is not tabled. 550 W is the manufacturer's stated maximum draw, not a rated average, so the Wh/L figure is a conservative upper bound.

Your boat runs on solar and every watt-hour is spoken for, because this is the cheaper litre to make; you want tanks full in the shortest possible run, or you have a genset that is going to run anyway.
