Other sites rate products. Why is Bestcovery different?
Other sites make it difficult and time-consuming to learn which products and services are best. They often force you to plod through dozens of reviews and articles, many of which present conflicting or outdated recommendations. Many of these sites cover limited numbers of products and services. We're different:
• Bestcovery is specific. We identify the best products and services for your particular needs and understand that one size doesn't fit all -- a product may be the best for one person or application but not for another.
• Bestcovery is fast and easy. We respect your time and make it incredibly simple to find the best products or services for you.
• Bestcovery is reliable. We screen and select our experts to make sure they are among the most knowledgeable, passionate, and experienced gurus in their respective areas.
• Bestcovery is impartial. We're not swayed by advertisers, and we rely on our community of experts, enthusiasts, and users to ensure that the best picks remain unbiased and truly represent what’s best in the current marketplace.
• Bestcovery is timely. We stay current with all new products and services in our many categories, and continuously check to see if there's a new best pick that's better than our current selection.
• Bestcovery is comprehensive. Our goal is to help you find the best of everything in every product and service category.
• Bestcovery is accurate. We have rigorous standards for our experts, and use proprietary systems to be sure that our best pick really is the best.

Best is subjective --how does Bestcovery determine the best?
Deciding the best is indeed subjective. But the best people qualified to do this are top experts that are very knowledgeable and experienced, extensively research the products and services they cover, and remain impartial. Additionally, our experts provide other top picks to give you additional choices if you need them. We encourage the Bestcovery community to let us know when they agree or disagreement with our picks by leaving comments.

What are the runner-ups?
Sometimes the best overall pick is just not right for you -- it's not your preferred design, brand, color, etc., or it lacks a special feature that you need, or is simply not available to you. For this reason we report other top picks to give you additional choices if you need them.

What is popularity?
When solid analytical data is available in certain areas, we provide a popularity ranking that lists products or services based on how popular they are with shopping consumers. You can access this information from a Best page by clicking on “See Most Popular”.
