Editorial Policy

Here is how we find facts, review pages, fix mistakes, and keep money out of the decision.

The short version

  • Manuals and public specs are our main sources.
  • Commerce never changes a pick.
  • Corrections are logged on the page.

Where facts come from

  1. Maker manuals and catalogs. Manuals explain how a machine is built and used, while current catalogs show whether the model is still active.

  2. Owner reports read in bulk. We read many reports together to spot common patterns, and one review never decides a pick.

  3. Public spec sheets. These sheets help us compare details, and we check them against the manual when both are available.

What we never publish

  • No invented ratings.
  • No testing claims for work we did not do.
  • No income promises.
  • No links to near-match products.

How corrections work

When a fact is wrong, we fix the page and note the change. The byline date moves so readers can see that the page was reviewed again.

Who writes this
