Editorial Policy

Independence

We do not accept paid placements, sponsored reviews, or manufacturer influence over our product selections or ratings. Affiliate commissions fund our research but do not determine our recommendations.

Spec Verification

Every specification is sourced from manufacturer documentation and cross-referenced with third-party lab testing where available. Unconfirmed specs are marked with an em-dash, never invented.

No Fabricated Ratings

We do not emit AggregateRating schema unless a genuine, sourced rating exists. We do not fabricate review counts or star ratings.

Honest Assessment

Every product review includes genuine cons. We do not manufacture fake-balanced pros and cons. If a product has a safety issue, we flag it prominently.

Freshness

Every page displays a "Last updated" date matched to the dateModified field in its schema. We review and update content regularly.

Safety First

All electrical installation guides recommend hiring a licensed electrician. All generator placement guides emphasize the 20-foot CO safety rule.
