State the exact model or platform, intended job, environment, software or firmware, budget and the result already observed. For fabrication equipment also include material, dimensions, process settings and a clear photo of the result. Remove serial numbers, credentials and identifying workplace information.

Good comparisons use measurable constraints such as payload, accuracy, repeatability, duty cycle, safety requirements, consumables and support. Separate manufacturer specifications from results you measured yourself.
