How we review
Our reviews are researched reviews written for buyers who have almost decided. We start with the manufacturer’s official specifications and combine them with measurements and results from established, independent test publications. Every number on a review page is cross-checked and linked to its source. We use AI tools for research and drafting; every review is fact-checked and edited by our team before it is published. Product images are our own or come from Amazon’s catalog; our own images are labelled when they are AI-generated or AI-edited. We only call something ‘tested’ when we tested it ourselves.
