It carries 42 ratings against a category median of 605. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
On price it sits in the middle third of a category running from £2.30 to £26.86, where the midpoint is about £8.99. That is the part of the range where most sensible buys sit, neither cutting corners nor paying for the name.
