The criterion

Choose by total cost and value.

What to look for

  • The complete cost required to make the object usable in your life.
  • Quality concentrated in the details that affect daily experience and longevity.
  • A realistic relationship between frequency of use and money spent.

Questions worth asking

  • What additional cost appears after checkout?
  • Which detail is the price premium actually buying?
  • Would the less expensive option need replacing sooner?
