Review by Sam exists to help you make a confident decision quickly. Here is exactly how we pick the products in our guides, so you can judge our recommendations for yourself.
Our research process
- We start from what shoppers need. Each guide targets a real question, for example “the best air fryer for a small kitchen”, and we define the criteria that matter for that situation before looking at products.
- We compare specifications, features and value. We look at the published specifications, materials, size, compatibility, warranty and price range of each product, and compare them side by side.
- We explain trade-offs honestly. Every product gets clear pros and cons, and we say who it is not for.
- We only list products that are currently available, and our prices and availability are refreshed automatically from Amazon.
What we do not do
- We do not claim to have tested a product unless we actually did.
- We do not invent ratings, review counts, measurements or awards.
- Brands cannot pay to be included or to change their ranking.
How we use technology
We use software tools, including AI writing assistance, to research product data and draft our guides at scale. Every guide follows the rules above and is built on the products’ published information. When information changes, we update the guide.
