Takes account of how comfortable and well placed the handles and switches are, how comfortable or tiring it is in use, how easy it is to move around and cut with, how heavy and noisy it is and how much it vibrates. (For noise, vibration and weight a low score means it's heavy, noisy and vibrates excessively).
