How settled
Among the most-rated here, so the score is unlikely to shift
Across the 49 rated cat essentials products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.6 out of 5. This one scores 4.2. That's inside the bottom quarter of the shelf. It isn't a warning, but better-rated options do sit alongside it at similar money, so you would want a specific reason to pick this one.
Behind that score sit 25,830 ratings, against a shelf median of 6,150. That's a deep enough base for the score to be stable, and it is the reason we rank on volume as well as stars.
Price-wise it falls in the bottom third of a shelf that stretches £1.19 to £29.99, with £12.69 in the middle. Buying at the cheap end is fine as long as the rating stands up. Here it does not quite, so check what has been cut before assuming the saving is free.
