Editorial standards
How a product earns a place on this site
We buy at retail
Every unit is purchased with our own money from Amazon.ca or a Canadian retailer, so nobody can delay a review or demand an edit.
Three weeks, minimum
We live with the product through a full cleaning cycle, a weather swing or a real work project before writing a word.
Numbers, not adjectives
Decibels, watts, litres, kilograms, minutes. If we cannot measure it, we say so instead of borrowing marketing copy.
Tested for Canada
Winter salt, basement humidity, hydro rates, condo square footage — we review for the way Canadians actually live.
