Expert Consensus rests on one numeric rating (TechRadar, 4.5/5, 2026-09-12). Build safety is provisional: our 2026-10-03 sources showed no recall, safety, heat or failure reports for this product, but we have not yet verified its UL/ETL or equivalent safety certification, so the 9.0 is a placeholder, not a certified rating.
