What this means
- A count of what we list. How many of each kind we list, with their rated temperatures, power and prices from the index.
- No health claims. We compare temperature, power, size and price. We do not say what either does for a body.
- The choice is yours. Each kind is scored against its own type, so a score compares like with like.
