Big purchases. Zero guesswork.
E-bikes, robot mowers, espresso machines — the stuff that costs real money. We test them in real homes and publish every number, including the ones brands wish we wouldn't.

How a verdict gets made
We buy it ourselves
Every product is purchased at retail with our own money. No free samples, no press units, no early access — so no one to owe.
We test it in real homes
Weeks of daily use with measured benchmarks: decibels, particle counts, pickup weight, temperature curves. Repeated until the numbers hold.
We publish everything
The full data, the price we paid, and what broke. If a product drops below our bar after publication, the score drops with it.
Where the money comes from
When you buy through our links, the retailer pays us a commission — it never changes the price you pay, and it never changes a score. Rankings are locked before affiliate links are added, by people who can't see the payout rates.
