How We Test Products at IReviewToo.com: No BS, Just Real Reviews
Our Mission: Smart Reviews for Smarter Choices
“Smart Reviews for Smarter Choices” isn’t just a tagline – it’s our promise. We test products like real people so you can shop with confidence. No hype, no sponsorships, just honest feedback
Our goal is simple: help you make informed buying decisions with real, unbiased reviews.
✔️ We buy or borrow every product—no fake reviews.
✔️ 30+ days of real-world testing to assess performance, durability, and value.
✔️ Bad reviews don’t get deleted—if a product isn’t good, we say it.
How We Test Products (Step-by-Step)
1. Research & Product Selection
What We Do:
- Scan Amazon, Reddit, and forums for top-rated products.
- We prioritize categories where honest reviews are hard to find (e.g., “best budget laptop under $500”).
- Example: If “best air fryer under $100” is a popular query, we test the top 3 models recommended on Reddit.
2. Real-World Testing (30+ Days Minimum)
Duration: Minimum 30 days of daily use. Unlike many sites that test for just a few hours or days, we use every product for at least a month.What
We Evaluate:
- ✅ Performance: Does it actually do what it promises? (e.g., Does the blender crush ice smoothly?).
- ✅ Durability: Will it last, or does it break after a few weeks? (e.g., Does the zipper on the backpack break after 2 weeks?).
- ✅ Value: Is it worth buying, or is there a better alternative? (Is it worth the price vs. cheaper alternatives?).
Example: When testing a coffee machine, we brew over 100 cups of coffee to assess consistency and reliability.
3. Honest Reviews: Pros, Cons & Alternatives
Pros/Cons: We highlight what actually matters, the real advantages and drawbacks—no marketing fluff.
Who It’s For: Not every product is perfect for everyone. We’ll tell you if it’s best for budget shoppers, tech nerds, or small spaces.
Who Should Skip It: Not every product is for everyone.
Alternatives Recommendations: If it’s not great, we suggest better options.
Do We Accept Free Products or Affiliate Links?
How We Handle Free Products:
Sometimes, brands send us products for testing. However:
✔️ No Guaranteed Praise: If it’s bad, we say it.
✔️ Full Transparency: We always disclose when a product was provided by a company.
✔️ Why Accept Free Products? It allows us to test expensive items (like a $500 espresso machine) that we otherwise couldn’t afford.
Do We Use Affiliate Links?
Yes, but ethically.
How It Works:
✔️ If you buy via our links, we earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you).
✔️ This funding helps us buy more products for testing.
✔️ No biased recommendations—if we wouldn’t buy it, we won’t recommend it.
