How should you use the rating in a gear comparison?
The rating is a summary, not the whole decision. TroveRadar uses it as one input alongside price, pros, cons, and best-for fit, which is why the verdict still explains where each product wins.
What does the best-for badge mean?
The best-for badge on this page is the quick sorting rule: wireless convenience vs controlled bench cleanup. It tells you which user or trip style each product suits before you get lost in spec lists.
Should you buy the more expensive product by default?
No. A higher price can mean more capability, but the better purchase is the one that matches the actual field workflow. TroveRadar treats mismatch as wasted budget, not premium performance.
