Our top picks
The best-scoring model in each list. Scores compare models within one list, so 100 means best there on every point, not perfect.
Scores reward a low price per watt-hour, high output, room to expand and long warranties, all as the makers state them. They don't measure real-world efficiency, noise or app quality, so use them to shortlist, then read the model pages.
