How we build the ranking

Each product gets a score out of 10, calculated within its category (button boxes) from the manufacturer specs and the price checked on 28 October 2026. Products are then ranked by descending score; on a tie, the cheaper one comes first.

We do not run hands-on tests. An affiliate link never affects a score or a rank.
