Choosing a genuine substitute

  • Compare the same task, capacity, dimensions and compatibility; sharing a broad category is not enough.
  • Check current price per usable quantity, delivery and replacement supplies rather than comparing price bands alone.
  • For a sourcing or certification preference, look for exact evidence on the alternative and the original item; do not infer a whole-brand verdict.
