OUR METHOD
How rankings work
Everything that affects a product's rank is on this page. Payment isn't on it.
Category rank
A product joins the ranking once it has 5 verified reviews. Until then it's listed alphabetically and marked as not ranked.
The product's average, pulled toward the category average until it has enough reviews.
The share of reviews written in the last 12 months.
More reviews count for more, with diminishing returns.
Top 10 of the Week
Shows what's getting attention now, and doesn't change category rank. A product needs 3 new verified reviews to qualify, and the list only appears once 10 products do.
More reviews count for more, with diminishing returns.
How this week's reviewers rated the product.
Tracking starts soon. Until then, every product gets the same neutral value.
Tracking starts soon. Until then, this counts as zero for every product.
What never affects rank
- Paying for a listing or an ad
- Reviews from vendor staff or competitors, or incentivized reviews
- Unverified reviews
- Forum votes
