How are these guides written?
- Specs come from manufacturers. Each spec is checked against the maker’s own website and listed under Sources. If the maker doesn’t give a spec, the guide says “not stated”.
- No hands-on claims. The guides compare published specifications. They contain no ratings and no invented reviews.
- No prices. Prices change too often, so each guide suggests checking the current price.
- No ads or affiliate links. Product links go to the manufacturer’s page, and no brand pays for a place in a guide.
