I'll confirm your anecdote RE: using other websites for curated reviews. I recently needed a new router; instead of wading through the innumerable search results on Amazon, I simply chose Wirecutter's recommendation.
- spencerflem 10y ago100% agree. The Wirecutter rocks.
- pimlottc 10y agoI've been doing that too. My experiences have generally been good, but I do feel a bit of unease at basically giving them somewhat blind trust.
- mjevans 10y agoI usually look through a few brands that haven't irked me yet on OpenWRT's HCL since I'll stick that on anything I'm likely to buy anyway.
- dom0 10y agoIn Europe (mostly the German and English speaking parts) there's a search engine for "stuff", formerly only computer-related things, that is often used for this: http://geizhals.de/ http://geizhals.de/ Their unique features are curated filters (boatloads of them, extremely handy to narrow choices down) and accurate, non-fake reviews and ratings. This removed 95 % of the annoyingness in buying hardware for me: 1.) Define requirements 2.) Apply filters on gh 3.) Check reviews for the few resulting choices 4.) Buy.
