How we compare prices

  • Prices are recorded manually against a named retailer, in the reader's own market and currency, with the date of the check.
  • A discount is only called a discount when we hold the earlier price ourselves; recommended retail prices are never used as the reference.
  • Delivery, installation and mandatory subscriptions are counted towards the total, not hidden below it.
  • Affiliate links never change a ranking, a verdict or a listed price.

No prices are shown until they have been verified. We do not display estimated or automated prices.
