QT reviews

Here's how we roll at road.cc: every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a real insight into whether it works or not. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The score reflects a product's function and value. Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad. Here's what they mean:

10 (5 stars) Perfect
9 (4.5 stars) Exceptional
8 (4 stars) Very good
7 (3.5 stars) Good
6 (3 stars) Above average
5 (2.5 stars) Average
4 (2 stars) Below average
3 (1.5 stars) Poor
2 (1 star) Rubbish
1 (0.5 stars) Appalling
