How our product recommendations are made

Our product recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather information from vendor and retailer listings, independent review sites, and customer feedback to learn what matters to people who already own and use the products.

When you click from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn an affiliate commission. Those commissions help support our work but do not affect what we cover, how we cover it, or the price you pay.

Review authors are not compensated by advertisers for independent assessments, and strict guidelines keep editorial content free from commercial influence.

The editorial team aims to provide accurate, useful advice to help readers make smarter buying decisions. Articles are reviewed and fact-checked, and we will correct or clarify any errors; readers can report inaccuracies through the site’s reporting form.
