Inside a review

Our Review Method

Understand the evidence and criteria behind a recommendation.

How to read a review

A hands-on review should identify the model, tasks, conditions, observations, and limits. A research-based evaluation should identify the sources and criteria used. When a review uses both methods, it should distinguish direct observations from sourced findings.

What we compare

Check the model year, trim, relevant dimensions, and manufacturer fitment. Separate manufacturer specifications from observed performance and explain relevant installation or testing conditions.

What the evidence can show

Where an article reports measurements or photos, describe how they were collected. Explain gaps in the evidence and identify relevant purchase, loan, gift, or sponsorship arrangements.

Reading the evidence

Hands-on testing

Look for the exact model, tasks, conditions, observations, and limitations. Photos or measurements should relate to the work described.

Research-based evaluation

Look for primary sources, model-specific specifications, comparison criteria, and a clear account of any evidence gaps.

Combined evaluation

Look for a distinction between direct observations and information drawn from other sources.

Details that matter in this field

Look for the model year, trim, part number, fitment details, installation conditions, and test method. Use the relevant manufacturer documentation for specifications.
