How we rate products
What our Buy, Consider and Skip verdicts and our scores mean.
Verdicts
- Buy: a strong choice for most people in its price range
- Consider: good for some needs, with clear trade-offs
- Skip: better options exist for the money
Scores
Scores out of 10 summarise value for money, everyday usability, build and warranty, running costs and how well a product does what most buyers need. They compare products within the same category.
Prices
We show typical UK price ranges in pounds, not live prices. Prices change often, especially around Prime Day and Black Friday – check the current price before you buy.
