Honestly tested. Openly explained.
You may be wondering how objective our tests really are. Here we show you how we select products, test them in everyday use and rate them – and how manufacturers can work with us.
What you can rely on with us
Our test reports began as a personal interest. That has not changed to this day.
Independently rated
Manufacturers sometimes provide us with products or grant discounts. This has no influence on our rating.
Written & photographed by us
We write all articles ourselves, and the photos are taken by us too. Every article is meant to give you real added value.
Advertising clearly labelled
We clearly mark articles from collaborations with “Advertisement” or “Sponsored Post”. You can recognise affiliate links by the asterisk (*).
Tested in real everyday life
We test at home instead of in a lab – repeatedly and over a longer period. Just the way you will use the devices later.
From unboxing to test report
We check every product for practical suitability and try it out several times, so that our verdict stays fair.
- 1ResearchWe find out all about the product, the manufacturer and the alternatives.
- 2Hands-on testThe device runs in our home in everyday use – repeatedly and in different situations.

- 4Test reportSetup, features, measurements, pros and cons, and our honest conclusion.
