How we compare
Evidence before product rankings
Our comparison method prioritises verifiable certification, measured or clearly stated specifications, compatibility, replacement supply, safety documentation, warranty, limitations and total ownership cost. We separate manufacturer claims from our calculations and update guides when relevant evidence changes.
