This index is intended to give you an overview of the products reviewed and will eventually contain other pertinent information such as an overall rating and a brief summary of the product reviewed. Each table is assigned a category and contains products which fall into that category; however, as more products are reviewed, the category list will be expanded and some categories might be renamed to more accurately reflect their contents. Note: the values in the Rating column vary from 1 (worst) to 5 (best).
