Negative reviews are the most useful ones, if you read them carefully. This is how we do it.
We read owner reviews, retailer questions and answers, product manuals and official recall records for the product and its closest rivals.
One angry review is an anecdote. The same fault described by many unrelated buyers is a pattern worth reporting.
We set out what buyers like alongside what they complain about, and say who the product still suits.
Where the evidence supports it, we point to options that avoid the main complaint, and explain their own drawbacks.
Every review, warning, alternative and guide we have on a product area, in one place.
