I spent eleven years in retail buying and ecommerce operations before I started writing reviews. That background shapes how I evaluate a product: build quality, real-world performance, value against alternatives, and how the brand behaves after the sale.
Every review on this site is based on a product I have personally used. Where a brand has supplied a sample, that is stated at the top of the article. Scores are never negotiated.
