Windows uninstaller app comparisons Revo vs others, how do to they stack up in your option,

Revo uninstaller to some of the other new app like Wise uninstaller, BC Uninstaller, habit uninstaller,
They look like better options in some case similar to revo pro, but I have no idea what to look for to really compare them.
has anyone compared them yet
 
Just use the Windows one.
The reason I stopped using the windows one a long time ago was it would leave a lot of leftover files from software and games, I had to find a new option when I would find issues installing, something new and finding old files, I originally switched to Revo then started using wise on one of my PCs, recently and they both did a good job, started testing BC uninstaller (portable and multi uninstall).
 
I've also used Revo Pro for some time now. Most of the time it cleans up all the leftovers, but there are odd occasions I find leftover files or folders.
 
Ive mostly used Revo free, the yearly sub for the Pro put me off, I did switch to wise about 3 years ago as well which I needed to used Forced Uninstall.

here is a list of feature to compare if anyone wants to take a look

Revo Free Portable + Manual shortcuts to the key areas where crap gets left behind. All these uninstallers will have instances where some folders get missed, well contents are deleted but the folders remains, just empty. It's rare but it does happen. I use Revo to get rid of the bulk and then manually do a sanity check. if you sort Explorer by date order then you can really quickly see if something remains after a game or app is uninstalled:

For me Revo is mostly about removing the leftovers from the Registry which it does perfectly each time, the folders that might remain on those rare times is no issue as I have my manual method to check those areas anyway (see below).

What the difference between portable free and normal one ?
I assume its just the revo free as a portable.
 
There were some cases where a program didn't uninstall properly, sometimes forgetting to remove the registry so Windows think it's still installed when it's not. Revo fixed that no problem.
