- 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).
- 71% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 1.3). Agreement: Moderate.
- How we got there: score 7.3/10, value signal 6.6/10 from 5 reviews, evidence moderate (7 reviews, 0 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated Aug 2025 to Sep 2026.
