This may be a subject touched on before but here I go anyway.
Why cannot the magazine have an absolute technical quality testing score. It would probably mean extending the star ratings up to ten. This would then allow readers to compare cheap items with expensive items instead of just comparing within a price range. I know standards change over time, but if say an item had a ten score you would know it was the best available ( at the time of testing) at any price. I bet the manufacturers wouldn't like it but it could save readers a lot of money. I know features and design are important too but these can be assessed more easily by the reader.
Any comments?
