Affiliate blogs here say 67% recommend, while the owner-based score is 64%. They earn a commission on every sale — so we show them for transparency but never let them move the score.
The headline score reflects owners (Reddit, enthusiast forums), independent lab tests, blogs with no affiliate links, and YouTube owner-comments when they line up with owners. YouTube and Affiliate blogs are shown for perspective but kept out here — hover the i for why.
Retailers' own star averages, for comparison — separate from our vetted owner-verdict score above.
