For the Editor's Choice awards, a total of 129 products spread across 32 categories were hauled into our labs, and put through a series of stringent benchmarking tests throughout the course of 2014. After evaluating these products through a specific criteria consisting of performance, consumer benefits, value, and technology advancements, we finally have our list of winners.
