Review policy

How We Review Products

Commercial relationships are disclosed. The verdict still belongs to us.

Editorial independence

We may receive products free of charge, earn affiliate commission or work with a brand commercially. None of those arrangements automatically determines what we say about a product.

What we consider

  • Is it useful for the audience?
  • Does it work for its intended everyday purpose?
  • Does the price represent reasonable value?
  • Are health or performance claims proportionate and supportable?
  • Is there a cheaper or simpler option that does the same job?
  • Would we genuinely recommend it to our own family?

Disclosure

Where a relationship exists, we will identify it clearly. Readers should not have to play detective to work out whether money or a free product was involved.

Changes and corrections

If important information changes, a product is recalled or we discover a material error, we can update the review and record the change.
