Table Guide
How to Judge Miner Value
Four short steps to find the most machine for your money.
1
Compare Price to Performance
Value is not the cheapest sticker. It is what each pound buys in hashrate, efficiency and current earnings across the machines on the table.
2
Check the Payback Column
A strong value pick earns its price back quickly. Read the estimated ROI beside the price to see how fast each machine returns its cost.
3
Set Your Energy Cost
Cheap machines are often less efficient. Enter your pence per kWh to see whether a bargain still looks like one at your power price.
4
Watch Stock and Price Moves
Value positions move when prices drop or stock changes. A machine can leap up this table overnight on a single price cut.

How the Value Ranking Works
What value means in mining hardware and how to spot the real bargains.
A value score has to hold price and performance in the same hand. The sections below explain what feeds the ranking, why delivered pricing matters, and how to tell a genuine bargain from a machine that is cheap for a reason.
Delivered Price, Honest Numbers
Website prices exclude VAT unless stated otherwise. Compare the final checkout or invoice total, including delivery and applicable charges, rather than a bare overseas hardware price.
Performance for the Money
Price is weighed against hashrate, efficiency and current earnings, so a machine only scores well when its performance justifies its cost.
Payback Speed
The quicker a machine earns back its own price at today's rates, the stronger its value case. Estimated ROI keeps the score honest.
Price Cuts and Restocks
Hardware prices fall as successors approach. A single price drop can lift a machine several places overnight.
Coin Price Swings
When earnings rise, every machine pays back faster and value scores improve across the board, and the reverse on the way down.
New Model Launches
A new generation reprices everything below it. Yesterday's flagship often becomes today's value pick.
Stock and Condition
In stock machines you can deploy this week carry real value over paper listings, and condition matters to both price and risk.
Your Electricity Rate
A bargain at 5p per kWh can be a liability at 25p. Value always has to be read at your own power price.
Most Profitable
Chases the highest estimated earnings. Best when your electricity is cheap.
Highest Efficiency
Puts watts per hash first. Best when your power price is the problem.
Best Overall
Balances every factor into one score for the all-round buying decision.

Value Buying Guide
Best Value ASIC Miners: Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About ASIC Miner Value
Honest answers about price against performance: what value really means in mining hardware, when bargains are genuine and how to buy well.
How the value scores are built, which charges to include and why the lowest hardware price does not always provide the best value.
It moves with hardware prices, coin prices and stock, which is why this page ranks machines from live data instead of naming one model in writing.
The table above always shows the current leader on price against performance. Whichever machine sits first on the value view is the answer right now.
Each machine's delivered price is weighed against its hashrate, efficiency and current estimated earnings, with payback speed keeping the score grounded in results.
That balance matters. A machine can be cheap and still poor value if it earns little, or expensive and excellent value if its performance carries the price.
Rarely. The cheapest machines are usually older and less efficient, so they earn less and burn more per unit of work.
At domestic power rates an old bargain can cost more in electricity than it saved in price. Value means the most machine for your money, never simply the smallest number.
For UK orders, duty, insurance and customs clearance are included where the Order Confirmation states DDP. Website prices exclude VAT unless stated otherwise; VAT, shipping and applicable charges are shown before the order is finalised.
International DAP orders may incur destination duties, taxes, brokerage charges and government fees.
Because value is measured per pound spent. A modest machine at a sharp price can return its cost faster than a flagship, while drawing power a home supply can actually feed.
If your space, noise limit or budget is fixed, the right modest machine is often the strongest purchase on the whole page.
Used hardware, price timing, fleet choices and how your power price reshapes value.
They can be, because depreciation has already been paid by someone else. The trade is older efficiency and shorter remaining competitiveness against new generations.
Judge a used machine exactly like a new one: delivered price against current earnings and payback at your power rate. The table does not care about the age, only the numbers.
Around new generation launches, when older models are repriced to stay attractive, and in cooler coin markets when demand for hardware softens.
You do not need to time it perfectly. The value view catches reprices automatically, so checking back weekly shows you every meaningful move.
Several small machines spread risk and can match awkward power limits, but usually cost more per unit of hashrate and need more space and sockets.
One larger machine is normally the cleaner buy per pound. Let the table compare your actual candidates rather than deciding on the principle.
Expensive power punishes inefficient bargains, because their running cost eats the price saving. Cheap power forgives it and lets raw earnings lead.
Enter your pence per kWh and read the value view again. The reshuffle you see is your personal answer to this question.
Treat it as a bonus rather than part of the maths. Mining hardware depreciates with each new generation, and resale prices swing with the same markets earnings do.
Machines with strong efficiency hold their value best, which is one more quiet argument for quality over the cheapest sticker.
Payback expectations, waiting for price drops and getting a value pick deployed.
There is no promised number, and payback estimates move with the market. What you can do is compare: the strongest value machines usually sit near the front of the ROI view too.
Judge each machine against the field on the day you buy, then treat the estimate as a guide that will move, in both directions, while you own it.
Waiting can save on hardware and cost you the earnings the machine would have made in the meantime. Neither side of that trade is knowable in advance.
The honest approach is to judge today's numbers on their own merits. If a machine pays back sensibly at your rate now, it does not need a better future to justify itself.
Yes. Any machine on this page can go into hosting rather than your own premises, with electricity from around 4p per kWh and cooling matched to the model.
Hosted rates flatter value picks, because cheap power lets a well priced machine keep more of what it earns.
Shortlist two or three machines that hold their position at your energy rate, check their live stock status and review the final checkout or invoice total.
