Our rating criteria for equipment is based on experience. We look at key factors regarding each individual piece of equipment and determine how each item stacks-up against the competition. We look at ease of doing business with each manufacturer, brand longevity, perceived product placement in the industry, service network and service support, and functionality. Our goal in rating the items is to help our Buyer's Alliance members make better buying decisions. We also post the opinions of your fellow Buyer's Alliance members for your review to further assist you in evaluating your purchase.
