EditorsChoices.com was developed to provide the best and most efficient guidance in purchasing electronic devices. The number of electronic products that are brought to market each year is overwhelming. It is extremely difficult to decide which products provide the most value and best meet the needs of a particular consumer. There are many sources that review products and make recommendations. The quality of these sources varies considerably which makes it difficult to determine what information to trust. Furthermore, the information can be difficult to find and require considerable time and effort to collect. Frequently, information is simply outdated due to the volume of products and the pace of innovation. Finally, the consumer must digest the information and make the decision regarding a purchase.

EditorsChoices.com strives to do this difficult work for the consumer. Our editors evaluate the available reviews in different product categories and determine the top five most highly rated products in each category. We consider the following when we develop our recommendations:

• Multiple editors rate the product highly
• Reviews are current
• Editors work for well respected organizations that consistently provide quality reviews
• Available consumer comments support the recommendation

We attempt to find the top five products in a particular category. We will list less than five if our editors cannot find five products that fulfill our rating criteria. Products are listed in order of their ranking from the highest to the lowest; however it should be noted that all the products listed in a category are rated highly and a lower rated product may serve a customer better because it has features that are more suited to the customer’s needs. Our customers should evaluate each product to determine which one best meets their needs.

EditorChoice.com is affiliated with most but not all of the merchants who sell the products that are listed. We affiliate with only highly trusted merchants. We are able to fund this site from referral fees from merchants. The price that our customers pay a merchant is exactly the same price if the customer went directly to the merchant site. Please be assured that our customers pay nothing extra by going through our site. We will list some products that are highly rated but are sold directly by the manufacturer or a merchant that has no affiliate relationship with EditorsChoices.com. We would rather refer a customer to a better product and receive no compensation than refer them to a lower rated product and receive a fee. Our ratings are based on our criteria alone and are not influenced by referral fees.
