Recommendations & scoring

How we pick what to recommend, and why you can trust it.

• How we decide what to recommendWe score each gadget on what matters for its category and rank by value — all from published specs, prices, and reviews.
• What the value score meansThe value score rates how much gadget you get for the price — it isn't just “most expensive wins”.
• Are your recommendations unbiased?Yes. Affiliate commissions never affect our rankings, which are based only on specs, prices, and reviews.
• Where our information comes fromSpecs and prices come from manufacturers, retailers, and reputable reviews — and we cite the sources.
