How Our Buying Guides Work

Shortlists for when you are ready to buy. Each guide compares sets we have researched in detail, with the specs that matter and UK prices checked at more than one retailer.

Every pick in these guides has its own page in our reviews, with the manufacturer's full specs, a UK price band and a summary of what owners say. Prices are checked at more than one UK retailer before a guide goes live.

Buying your first proper set? The best darts for beginners is the place to start, and the best darts under £30 covers sets for the pub league on a tight budget. Setting up at home? See the best dartboards.
