REVIEW METHODOLOGY
Useful comparisons.
No borrowed certainty.
The standards for future equipment reviews and buying guides.

Research is labelled as research
A comparison built from manuals, specifications and documented owner reports will say so. We will only describe hands-on testing when it actually took place and can be explained.
Compare the things that change a decision
Pool compatibility, limitations, maintenance, support and ongoing costs matter alongside headline specifications. Exact models and relevant versions should be identified.
Explain the recommendation
A useful verdict tells a reader who an option suits, who should consider something else and what remains uncertain. We do not invent test scores or ratings.
Show the relationship
