How to read this figure

The range here is wide, and that is the honest answer rather than a hedge: the cheap and expensive ends of this category are genuinely different products, and the price gap between them is real.

Prices are in US dollars and are indicative only. They date faster than anything else on this site — treat them as an order of magnitude. Installation, delivery and tax are excluded unless the note above says otherwise.
