How We Research
On this page
We research products to help you make informed buying decisions. Our method is to make the evidence and its limits visible.
1. Identify the product and the problem
Confirm the model or version, the intended use and the circumstances in which it may be helpful. Avoid treating different models as the same product.
2. Read specifications and claims
Check manufacturer documentation and retailer information. Treat performance promises as claims until there is evidence to support them.
3. Compare independent evidence
Look for relevant independent tests and consistent findings. Assess source quality, methods and possible commercial conflicts. Customer feedback can suggest recurring issues, but it is not a controlled test.
4. State what has actually been checked
Each review should explain its research method, sources and limitations. If we have personally tested a product, describe the conditions and scope. Otherwise, do not imply hands-on testing.
5. Explain suitability and trade-offs
Describe useful features, weaknesses, alternatives and who the product may or may not suit. A product can work for one task while remaining a poor choice for another.
6. Publish a supported verdict
Only issue a final recommendation when the evidence supports it. Otherwise, show that research is in progress. Do not invent ratings, prices, tests or retailer offers to fill a page.
7. Recheck and correct
Show the date of the latest substantive check. Correct factual mistakes and explain changes that materially affect a verdict. Prices and availability should always be confirmed with the retailer.
Our verdict is never for sale. For corrections, email arturas.koroliovas@icloud.com with the article and supporting source.
Example: ChomChom Roller
The ChomChom research page separates manufacturer descriptions from the supplied demonstration, identifies gaps and leaves the final verdict pending. The clip does not establish durability or performance across fabrics.
Labels and comparisons
A “best overall” label requires a defined set of alternatives, criteria and evidence. “Best price” must identify the market, date and comparable delivered costs. We do not select a winner solely because it pays more commission.
