Our commitment is to provide honest, independent reviews and advice. Our focus is to offer our readers unbiased, accurate information, and we only endorse products that meet our strict evaluation criteria.
Real-world testing
We test products in real-life settings wherever possible. Since products are used in everyday life, not laboratories, we believe in assessing them in similar environments. This approach enables us to provide you with genuine and practical evaluations of product functionality and performance.
In cases where real-world testing isn’t feasible, such as with financial services, we take great care to examine the user experience. This includes evaluating customer service through techniques like mystery shopping.
