Why Top Shopping and Savings Reviews Exists!

We've all been there. 

• After reading a glowing review about how 'amazing' a product's features are and ordering it, it arrives and you discover those features don't even exist. 
• Or you buy something based on detailed descriptions of how well it works for a specific purpose, then realize the reviewer clearly never tried using it that way - because it's completely useless for that purpose.

After experiencing one too many disappointing purchases based on the information from 'trusted' review sites, we decided to take a different approach. 

No more guessing. No more feeling deceived.

There may be times when we review products we haven't personally used, but we will 100% disclose where we obtained the information in every review so you can decide if it helps you make an informed purchase decision, based on the facts.

Every review we publish clearly tells you whether we've actually used the product ourselves or if we're basing our assessment on research and specifications. 

Our Review Publication Process 

Every review is clearly labeled as either 'Hands-On' or 'Research-Based' so you know exactly how we know what we know.

Hands-On Reviews

We've personally bought, tested, and used the product. You'll get our real experience - what worked, what didn't, and whether it actually does what it claims. These reviews also include research on specs, competitor comparisons, and what other verified buyers are saying.

Research-Based Reviews

We haven't personally used this product, but we've thoroughly researched manufacturer specifications, professional testing data, and verified customer feedback. We'll tell you why we haven't tested it ourselves and what limitations that creates for our assessment."

About Affiliate Links

Yes, we use affiliate links to cover the costs of maintaining this site and buying products to review — and we're completely upfront about it. When you buy something through our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. 

Here's what's different about how we handle this: We give honest reviews regardless of affiliate potential. If a product doesn't deliver, we'll tell you to skip it, even if we could make money from your purchase. Our goal is to build long-term trust with you, not make a quick commission on products that will disappoint you.

You'll find our full affiliate disclosure policy with all the details about how this works on our Privacy Policy page — and a quick review will let you know how it helps us keep the site running while maintaining our independence.

Who's Behind These Reviews?

I'm Laure, and I started this site because I was tired of wasting money on products that clearly weren't reviewed by people who actually used them. My goal is simple: give you the honest, transparent reviews I wish I could have found when I was doing my own shopping.
