How often our verdicts held up

Every product page says whether today’s price is worth paying. This page checks those calls against what the price did in the 30 days after we made them, and lists every one that turned out wrong.

What counts as right

  • Buy calls (“cheapest yet”, “good price”, “price has held”) are right if the price did not go at least 2% lower within 30 days.
  • Wait calls (“above normal”) are right if it did.
  • “About normal” makes no call on timing, so it is not scored.
  • A call repeated day after day at the same price counts once. New units only.
  • From September 13, 2026, a verdict weighs each day at the price in force on it, so “usual” is the typical day’s price. Calls made before then counted each price change once, however long it held, and are scored as they were made.
