How we choose products

Every "best of" guide on this site is based on hands-on testing or detailed comparison of independently-sourced units. We don't accept manufacturer-sent samples or sponsored placements. Pricing reflects Amazon UK + US 30-day averages, refreshed quarterly.

We're transparent about commercial relationships: Amazon Associates affiliate links throughout. No undisclosed paid placements. If a manufacturer asks for inclusion in a review, the answer is to submit a unit for testing alongside others - placement still earned on merit, not money.
