A note from the editorial desk
Why our comparisons say ‘neither’ when nothing wins.
Every matchup runs through the same 47-point rubric our editorial board has refined since 2017 — weighted, published in full on every review, and signed by a named human editor. We are paid through disclosed affiliate links, never for placement, and we reserve the right to recommend neither product when neither clears the bar. That is the entire reason 1.8 million readers a month trust us to decide for them.
