Where the numbers come from

Brands with 3 or more models with a price and a rating in the day’s check are included. Average rating and median price use all of the brand’s models. The order compares each model’s rating with the median rating of models in the same price range and averages it by brand. The top pick is the brand’s model that beats that rating by the most in its range.

Prices change without notice and the final amount is the one in the store. The rating comes from each model’s spec sheet; the brand does not count.
