How we research
No lab, no pretend testing. Here is exactly what our guides are — and aren’t — based on.
Start with a real question
What people actually ask before buying — not a keyword list.
Collect primary sources
Maker pages, manuals and public safety guidance. Retail listings aren’t sources.
Check every claim
Any number or spec without a source is cut or reworded before publishing.
Say what it can’t do
Every guide lists who it’s not for and the limits of what we know.
