Only the Best Are Rated
Consumer Guide TM provides you with the unbiased, independent information you
need to make
informed, intelligent decisions--as we have for about 30 years. Our staff
of expert reviewers
analyze the dozens of models in their specialty that are available on the
market. The reviewers
then recommend only the best products in a variety of sizes and prices, so
you can save time and
money by choosing from only the top of the heap. Consumer Guide TM has no
affiliation with any
manufacturers or retailers and is not interested in selling products. Our
goal is to provide you with
the tools you need to buy the best and save money, as it has been for 30 years.
Each of our expert reviewers analyzes the market for each product category,
looking at all of the
products in that category that are available. After evaluating all of the
products, they then
determine the number of products that they would recommend to the consumer.
Those and only
those approved choices are the products that receive in-depth reviews,
which includes hands-on
testing. You will learn why this product is good enough to be recommended
by Consumer Guide ®.
The reviewers also provide to the consumer an introduction to their product
categories, which
includes information that the consumer needs to select and purchase
products. To read this
material, click on the "More Information" links. There you will find
definitions for any technical
terms or jargon that is used by salespeople plus features and functions of
the products. This
information will teach you the basics, and it will help you can become an
informed, confident
shopper.
What are Best Buys?
To you, they are products that meet your needs and
budget while fulfilling your high standards of quality, performance, and value.
Keeping this in mind, Consumer Guide TM has selected products in a variety of sizes and prices to match the requirements of different shoppers. Experts in major product fields provide you with the information you need to make informed, intelligent decisions.
Items rated as  were chosen for their usefulness, high quality, and
overall value. Best Buys aren't necessarily the least-expensive models; they
are the highest-quality products available at reasonable prices.
selections are also good products, but for one reason or another, they do not
measure up to our Best Buy standards. Such products may carry high price tags,
they may have limited appeal, or they could be so new on the market that we
haven't been able to accurately test their performance and durability over a
period of time.
Products with  ratings may have fewer standard features than top-of-the-line models but are still properly constructed, perform well, and are available at a considerably lower cost.
Pricing
The  is the MSRP, or Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. The  is an Approximate Low Price gleaned from retail prices nationwide. It serves as a guide for comparing prices. All prices listed are approximate and are subject to manufacturer's changes. In some cases, products are so new that prices were not yet available. All products were checked to make sure that they are available to consumers, but product manufacture and distribution is beyond our control. Products may be discontinued with little warning or notice.
