How do we conduct our reviews?
We conduct our reviews on presentation, performance and overall user experience. We strongly believe that the idea behind each product is unique to every user; therefore, it is important to cover every aspect of functionality, performance and accessibility for each product.
What are our standard procedures?
Each review takes time to complete. Our standard time frame for each review is approximately two weeks. If there are complications on our end, we contact the manufacturer and explain the situation. During the two week time frame we perform numerous tests, take pictures and a complete written review. Once the review has been completed, it is sent to the manufacturer for approval. If the review is approved, we then post it on our website. If the review is not approved, we discard all the work we did. {no hard feelings (; }
