Frequently Asked Questions

How we test, how we earn, and how to reach us.

Do you accept free products from manufacturers?

No. We buy every product we test at retail price with our own budget. We do not accept loaner units, early samples, or manufacturer-supplied review units.

How do you decide on a product's score?

Every product is measured against a fixed, written protocol using calibrated instrumentation. The protocol and pass/fail thresholds are set before testing begins, and every raw measurement is logged against the category average.

Do affiliate commissions influence your rankings?

No. Products are selected for review, tested, and ranked based on our independent evaluation criteria before any commercial partnership is established. Negative reviews are published regardless of affiliate availability.
