About
I build things, use them for a while, and then write down what actually happened.
How the reviews work
Nothing gets written up until it has been in daily use for at least a month. If it leaves the desk before then, that becomes the review. Every measurement here was taken with the same gear in the same room, and the conditions are named next to the number.
How this is paid for
Some links earn a commission when you buy through them. That never changes a verdict, and the section on what does not work is never shortened for anyone. Products are bought at retail unless a review says otherwise, in which case it says so at the top.
