Product Rankings
10 out of 10	Could not possibly be better. Reserved for dazzling products only.
9 out of 10	The A-grade of products. We're jealous of you getting to buy it. Yeah, maybe there is one or two tiny little issue we weren't in love with, but overall, an outstanding product.
8 out of 10	A great product. We loved it, but there are a few things about it that bothered us, or we felt could be even better. This is a wholesale recommendation - get this product.
7 out of 10	This is the first very good ranking. If we give a product a 7, that means we liked it. Don't think of it as a C - on this scale, it's like a B/B+.
6 out of 10	This is a solid ranking for a solid product. Products with this rating are recommended with only a few reservations and flaws.
5 out of 10	This is exactly average. Not good enough to sweep us of our feet, but not disappointing either.
4 out of 10	This is a serviceable product, but still below average. Products can do a lot better than this.
3 out of 10	Just flat bad. Not epically awful, jut bad. We don't recommend products with these ratings.
2 out of 10	Not as bad a rabies, but pretty close. Do not buy this product.
1 out of 10	An awful, horrible, no-good product rating. We wouldn't wish this on our worst enemy. An extremely rare rating.
