Scoring
This is our 'rating system' that was used to score the above brands, which is based on whether the origin of the the parts and materials used in their assembly are sourced domestically or internationally. The quality and quantity of the components were not taken into consideration.
The fact is the fewer parts a product contains, the greater likelihood of achieving a higher score. Ultimately a high or low rating does not directly represent the overall quality of a particular item.
