Our process

How We Pick Products

Recommendations are generated from product data, scoring rules, review signals, and editorial constraints.

Read methodology ->
Data

Product Data Reviewed

We start with structured product specs, prices, availability, and retailer signals before any recommendation is drafted.

Score

Ratings & Review Signals

Review count uses a log scale so popular products matter without letting raw volume overpower quality.

Fit

Feature Match Scoring

Each guide scores products against the use case: capacity, material, cleaning, controls, durability, and practical fit.

Price

Price & Availability Checks

Unavailable products and poor price fit lose ground, so recommendations stay useful for real shoppers.

Fresh

Regular Updates

Guides are queued for refresh when product data changes, stock shifts, or content becomes stale.

Rules

Editorial Rules

Affiliate links may earn revenue, but placements follow scoring and review rules rather than sponsorship.
