How I Picked These
A few ground rules: I don't include products I haven't researched thoroughly. I don't pad the list to hit some arbitrary number. And I don't rank based on who offers the best affiliate commission (in case you were wondering).

What to Consider Before Buying
Before you grab any of these, think about a few things:

- How often will you actually use this? Daily users have different needs than occasional users.
- What's your actual budget? Include accessories and ongoing costs, not just the sticker price.
- Where are you buying? Prices vary between retailers, and some offer better return policies than others.
- Do you need it right now? If you can wait a month, you might catch a sale.

Wrapping Up
Every product on this list is one I'd feel comfortable recommending to a friend. That's the bar I set, and it's the reason this list isn't longer.

Start with the one that fits your budget, read a handful of owner reviews to sanity-check, and go for it. You're not going to regret any of these picks.
