Our testing approach
We take great pride in reviewing the products and services we rate, dedicating countless hours to testing everything from smartphones to smart home devices. We strive to share our passion and convey our expertise in our reviews, aiming to provide accurate, honest, and reliable insights.

You can read more about how we test devices and why we're a trusted source.
Affiliate and advertising disclosure
We're committed to connecting you with the best products and services for your needs at competitive prices. Within our editorial content, we often provide links to products and services on retailer sites, for which we may receive compensation—called an affiliate fee—when you click on those links or make purchases through them. This fee does not impact the price you pay for the product or service.
Our expert editorial teams approach product and service selections based on their unbiased, expert judgement and relevance to our readers' needs, not on the interests or commercial agreements of retailers.
The product widgets you see in some of our articles are powered by our software solution, Hawk, which pulls real-time product and price information from thousands of retailers. We strive to ensure the most up-to-date information is displayed. Occasionally, a retailer may update their prices before our ads are updated. Retailers may also add delivery or other costs to purchases; please visit the retailer's site for more information. The affiliate fees we receive help us to continue developing Hawk and cover our operating costs.
We also run advertising on our websites, which are clearly labeled and distinguishable from our editorial articles. From time to time, we also publish paid-for editorial content. This content is labeled, showcasing the sponsor and how it was created. You can find a complete guide to content funding on our website here. Our terms and conditions apply to your use of our sites right here.
