FAQ

About the comparison tool

How does the comparison tool pick the best value?

Among the devices you select, it highlights the one with the most score per dollar: the overall score divided by the price we read on the brand's page. It is a simple rule, so read the rows too: the guarantee terms and the time each routine asks for can matter more than $100.

Can I share a comparison?

Yes. The page address updates with your selection (for example /compare/?ids=irestore-professional,irestore-essential,illumiflow-272-pro), so you can bookmark it or send it to someone.

Why do some cells say "Not stated"?

Because the brand does not publish that spec on the pages we read. We never estimate a figure; in our formula an unstated criterion scores low.

Where do the prices come from?

From each brand's own US product page, read on November 11, 2026. Several were Black Friday prices; the reviews give the regular price too.
