Why Reddit
When someone is about to spend a thousand dollars on a machine, they search the product name plus the word reddit. The threads they find are the closest thing the category has to an unpaid review. We count those threads so the answer is a number, and we show our work: every score links to the claims behind it and the data files are public.
Atlas works for one brand in this category. Every page says which one, and its row is counted like every other row.
