Can you prove you actually tested the things? And it doesn't work at all for me actually. E.g. I'm looking for cheap earbuds and happily find https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/articles/best-earbuds https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/articles/best-earbuds - If looks are not the deciding factor, why are there two headbuds recommended that both are priced the same? Tell me which is best and maybe runner-up. - The least I care about the the china-brand and the rest of the long SEO-titles don't do any good either. Only valuable piece of information here: has mic or not - most important to me: (your) rating and price/value rating. This can only be gathered by reading your text, the latter doesn't get mentioned at all. - most anything is a fashion-statement, I can't be buying pink or golden earphones, show me pictures! - not sure how your reviews work, but the model you threw out won most of the hands-on reviews I found on the net I also feel how amazon limits you. The best budget robot vacuums are both a bit above 250 and from what I read below that you still have to vacuum yourself in the end.

Instead of writing a dumb >180 word post you should have taken the time to read it. But since your attention span seems to be limited, here is the relevant paragraph: > Hello, I’m a Data Scientist > This site wouldn't exist without user reviews, i.e. the reviews that actual customers write about a product. I find products with tons of positive reviews, then I scrub away the fake ones. Then, I remove the products with above-average prices. > The result: a shortlist of things worth buying.

  Let me rephrase the one sentence for you to make up for my "limited attention span" (so sorry to have bothered you here) that you seem to think makes my all of my post "dumb": - "Unless you can prove you actually tested the things in comparison I don't see much value in the reviews."

    That is not even close to what you wrote, in fact there is no way someone would have read your post and thought of it this way.

      Yes, I made i small mistake: I did not see there was no way he made a manual review. This I corrected. The core of my sentence however, that I would want these reviews and nothing else will make up for it, remains. As does the rest of my message.

You should check out The Wire Cutter and Consumer Reports. Both of them test things to provide you with best bang for your buck and it seems like they both really care that they do a good job. Consumer Reports even takes it to the next level buy I think buying things themselves secretly so they don't get specially tweaked items or take ad money from the organizations whose stuff they test. Really valuable when researching a purchase!

> I can't be buying pink or golden earphones I understand the sentiment here, but - sure you can, if you like them :)
