Our Review Methodology
We buy every product we review at retail price. We never accept free samples, sponsored units, or manufacturer incentives. If a product can't be purchased, we clearly disclose the source and adjust our evaluation accordingly.
Our ratings are based on a documented 7-point scoring system that combines hands-on testing (where physically verified) with large-scale user-report analysis. Read our affiliate disclosure to see how we stay independent.
