Best Rankings
What Are Best Rankings?
Our Best Rankings order the brands we hold a record for, by one thing: a six-dimension editorial score. No affiliate commission affects a position — we say so on every list, and we do not sell placement either.
How We Select
Each list applies the scoring framework described on our methodology page — durability, innovation, user experience, value, support and technology — with every dimension entered by hand from a document the brand itself publishes. A brand with no score on file is shown as unscored rather than ranked on a placeholder.
Why Trust Our Lists?
Because the score is the whole basis and every one of them links to the document it was read from, so you can check our work rather than take it on trust. We are also candid about the limit: we hold no device testing, no telemetry and no market-share figures, so a list is a ranking of records, not a lab result. Every brand on a list has a full profile page carrying the same sources.
