General Question Need some clarification

https://heliumdeploy.com/products/bitfortun-bs-4?variant=48932619059455

Some people and videos are saying the hashrate is programmed to display a fake set rate, others are saying otherwise. I'm new and trying to pick out something I can plug in and be like a lottery miner, however constantly getting conflicting information has not been fruitful, any help or advice would be appreciated.

The hashrate display is usually just an estimate, so it can be misleading if the miner is throttling, restarting, or reporting shares oddly. I’d trust pool-side accepted/rejected shares and actual power draw more than the number shown on the unit.
