How to choose the right product: a simple checklist

A little thought before you buy saves a lot of trouble afterwards.

1. What do you need it for? Write down the one job it must do well.
2. What is your budget? Include delivery and any accessories.
3. What do other customers say? Read the reviews, especially the critical ones.
4. What is the warranty? Check the length and what it covers.
5. How easy is the return? Know the policy before you pay.
