🧮 How We Got This Score

In short: each of the 15 reviews is turned into a 0 to 10 number, stronger evidence counts for more, and the numbers are averaged.

  • 0 reviews gave their own numeric score, and those count extra. The others are scored from their overall tone.
  • First impressions and reviews without hands-on testing count less.
  • If 80%+ of reviews lean the same way, the score moves by 0.5. This time: 0 (no direction reached 80% agreement).
  • 60% of reviews lean positive, and scores are fairly spread out (spread 2.1). Agreement: Low.
  • How we got there: score 6.2/10, value signal 5.9/10 from 15 reviews, evidence moderate (15 reviews, 1 hands-on).
  • Reviews are dated Jul 2026 to Oct 2026.
