How We Test Products

Our rigorous testing methodology ensures you get honest, reliable recommendations you can trust.

1

Research Phase

We start by analyzing thousands of user reviews, expert opinions, and manufacturer specifications. We identify the top contenders in each category based on real-world feedback, filtering out products with consistent quality issues or poor customer satisfaction.

  • Analyze 1000+ customer reviews per product category
  • Review expert opinions from industry publications
  • Study manufacturer claims and specifications
  • Identify common pain points and desired features
2

Independent Purchase

We buy products with our own money at full retail price. We never accept free samples or sponsored products from manufacturers. This ensures our reviews remain completely unbiased and reflect the same experience you would have.

  • Purchase products at retail prices
  • No free samples or manufacturer loans
  • Buy from the same channels as consumers
  • Document purchase process and delivery experience

Hands-On Testing

Our experts test products in real-world conditions over extended periods. For baby products, we involve real families. For kitchen gear, we cook real meals. Our testing reflects how you would actually use these products in daily life.

  • Minimum 2-week testing period per product
  • Real families test baby and parenting products
  • Professional chefs evaluate kitchen equipment
  • Durability testing and long-term use simulation

Objective Scoring

We rate products on a 100-point scale based on performance, value, durability, and user experience. Our scoring system is consistent across all categories, allowing for fair comparisons. Products must score 80+ to receive our recommendation.

  • Performance: How well does it do its job?
  • Value: Is it worth the price?
  • Durability: Will it last?
  • User Experience: Is it easy to use?
