What Our Picks Mean
Why dig through dozens of web pages when you just want a simple recommendation of the right product? We do the research, you get the answer and get on with life.
Standard
This is your basic, go to option in the category. A good value, well designed, well made.
Deluxe
If you demand the best, this is a more expensive option that’s a cut above, but never just luxury for the sake of luxury.
Alternative
A different approach to the product that might interest you. Intriguing but always functional.
Notes:
a. Sometimes we may decide not to select a ‘deluxe’ or ‘alternative’ choice if we don’t find a product that meets our definition.
b. Prices are approximate street cost.
c. Disagree about a pick? Make a good case for or against something and we might change our mind. But back up your arguments: personal anecdotes are not enough. Write to: picks@thebeststandard.com
