consumer grade
For average buyers
Consumer grade describes products designed for ordinary household or personal use rather than professional, commercial, or industrial applications.
Consumer-grade equipment is typically less expensive, less durable, and less feature-rich than its professional counterpart: consumer-grade cameras, consumer-grade software.
The term often carries a faintly dismissive tone, implying adequate for casual users but not serious work.
