Updated · September 2026 · prices checked September 11, 2026
Judge a business AED package by its premium over the bare device, not by its sticker. That premium is $62.70 on the ZOLL AED Plus and minus $7.20 on the Philips OnSite, while a wall cabinet alone runs $149 to $499. The pick is the ZOLL AED Plus Value Package at $2,144.70; the value pick is the Philips OnSite Value Package at $1,581.80.

Why the premium, not the package price, decides the purchase
Subtract the 2026 device list from the cheapest package on the market and the answer stops being an opinion.

- Rescue kit, carry case, inspection tag, warranty

Two traps in business AED package listings
AED Leader lists the Defibtech Lifeline AED Package as DCF-A130-EN-VP at $1,721.85, the build we price. Other sellers list DCF-A100-EN-VP under the same name for less.[2][3] The gap is a different build, not a discount. Match SKUs on the purchase order, not titles.
Two sellers list a CR2 package from $1,692.00 with stated expiry against $2,319.99 for current stock.[4][5] The saving is real, the trade is shelf life, and no seller publishes the pad and battery dates. Get both in writing, and check the LIFEPAK CR2 specification.

Not sure which row? The Find Your Perfect AED quiz separates them in six questions.
Ten year running cost separates packages the sticker price does not
The package is paid once. Pads and batteries recur, and they are the failure mode: consumables are implicated in 46.9 per cent of reported AED failures across 40,787 FDA-reported events.[1]
| Model | Ten year consumable cost | Package price, Sept 11 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| ZOLL AED Plus | about $330 | $2,144.70 |
| ZOLL AED 3 | about $435 | $2,369.70 |
| HeartSine 350P | about $472 | $1,463.80 |
| Defibtech Lifeline | about $530 | $1,721.85 |
| Philips HeartStart FRx | about $854 | Device only, $2,099 |
| Philips OnSite | about $894 | $1,581.80 to $1,801.80 |
| Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 | about $1,342 | Device only, $2,157 |
Ten year figures are a labeled estimate, modelled from list consumable prices and published replacement intervals.[2]
The OnSite package is $500.70 cheaper on day one and about $564 dearer in consumables over ten years. Across a decade the two land in the same place, and the ZOLL AED Plus adds CPR feedback.
Reorder pads and batteries ninety days before the printed date. The Powerheart G5 is the outlier at $1,342.
Before the purchase order goes out
Four checks, in the order a facilities owner runs them.
Package price minus device list. Under $100 the cabinet pays it back.
Compare SKUs, not persona names. One ladder spans $549.99.
Pad and battery dates before approval. No listing prints them.
One unit per three minute timed round trip, measured on site.

OSHA does not mandate AEDs in general industry: 29 CFR 1910.151 requires first aid provision and Publication 3185 recommends workplace AED programs.[9] More than 350,000 EMS-assessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the US each year.[7] State statutes can add duties.[8] See AED for offices and AED laws by state.
The verdict for a business buyer
ZOLL AED Plus Value Package, $2,144.70
Two numbers carry it. Ten year consumable cost is about $330, the lowest in the class and roughly a third of the Philips OnSite, and the package premium is negative: $2,034.00 for the cheapest package against $2,082 for the device. Real CPR Help coaches compression depth and rate, which matters when the responder is whoever is nearest.
Lowest ten year consumable cost in the class, plus CPR feedback.
Cheapest complete build, most widely stocked pads. Budget $894 of consumables over ten years.

Business AED package questions, answered
The ZOLL AED Plus Value Package at $2,144.70, SKU 8000-004000-01-1, checked September 11, 2026. Its ten year consumable cost is the lowest in the class at about $330, and the cheapest ZOLL AED Plus package sells for $2,034.00 against $2,082 for the bare device.
Between $1,463.80 and $2,743.70 across the eight package lines priced here on September 11, 2026. The Philips OnSite Value Package at $1,581.80 is the cheapest complete build most offices want, $7.20 below the $1,589 device.
On the ZOLL AED Plus, yes outright: $2,034.00 against $2,082 for the device. On every other model the premium runs $34.00 to $63.99, and a wall cabinet alone costs $149 to $499 (typical range), so the bundle still wins.
No. OSHA does not mandate AEDs in general industry. 29 CFR 1910.151 requires adequate first aid provision and Publication 3185 recommends workplace AED programs. State statutes can add duties, so check the site’s state on the AED laws by state tracker.
About $330 for the ZOLL AED Plus, $435 for the ZOLL AED 3 and $894 for the Philips OnSite (labeled estimate, modelled from list consumable prices and replacement intervals). Consumables are implicated in 46.9 per cent of reported AED failures.
Only with the dates in writing. Two sellers list a CR2 package from $1,692.00 with stated expiry against $2,319.99 for current stock, and no seller publishes the pad and battery dates on the listing page. If the pads expire in eighteen months the discount is a deferred reorder.
