How we choose
1. Follow the demand
We start with what UK shoppers are actually buying and searching for on Amazon, not with what pays best.
2. Check the specifications
We read the manufacturer's listing and work out what each feature means in a real home.
3. Name the drawbacks
Every guide says who should not buy the product. We do not test products hands-on, and we say so.
