How to read a Showdown Score™

The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.

  • Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
  • Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
  • Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.
