Common questions
- How is this list ordered?
- By each product's record in the head-to-head comparisons published on this site. We count only comparisons between two products of the same kind, and only those where the article names one of the two as its recommendation. Ties go to the lower list price.
- Are these prices current?
- No. Every figure is the manufacturer's list price, shown with the date we last checked it. Retailers discount below list and Amazon moves daily, so treat it as a guide and check the seller's page for what you would actually pay.
- Did you test these?
- No. We compare published manufacturer specifications across every pair of products in a category, and these rankings come from those comparisons. We do not do hands-on testing and nothing here is scored by hand.
