This seemed funny until I realized everyone else isn't 40+ years old and former Consumer Reports subscribers. The red-with-white-dot thing is "best".


Ya, I can't parse this whatsoever.

What is the difference between red and black? Thick circle? Half circle? No circle?

Original harvey balls might be better here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_balls

PS - thanks for putting together.


You'll have to take that up with Consumer Reports. :) The chart isn't very serious.


Here's some help (left to right is worst to best): https://www.pentagram.com/work/consumer-reports#22596

I still don't know where the black with white dot goes. I guess it's one better than the empty circle in the middle.


Brilliant chart, but this 40+ year old was left wanting a “TP Best Buy”
