Review products are rated out of ten which is then converted to a score out of 5 stars. The ratings out of 5 usually denote the following:
1 star (0-2/10)
|
A poor product. It probably looked awful, performed badly and would not be recommended to anyone. |
1.5-2 stars (3-4/10)
|
This product is useable; barely. Low performance and average looks or vice versa. |
2.5-3 stars (5-6/10)
|
An all round average product. |
3.5-4 stars (7-8/10)
|
A good product with some minor discrepancies that could be improved upon. Recommended. |
4.5-5 stars (9-10/10)
|
An almost perfect product. Fulfilled all of our expectations and could only be improved in the slightest of ways. |

EDITORS CHOICE
This award is only given to those special products that really catch our eye. The product must have received a 5 star (10/10) rating, be good value for money and have some feature that makes it stand out from the crowd. |
EXTREME CHOICE
This is given to those products which do outstandingly well in all forms of testing – looks, raw performance, style – but fall down spectacularly in price. Products that receive this will generally cost more than just an arm and a leg but if you can afford it they would be well worth it. |

VALUE CHOICE
This award is given to the products that might not have the best looks or performance out there, but manage to give you the best bang for buck available in their class. |
