Ask HN: What are some good review sites?

Posted by rmm on Monday January 10, 2022 @05:45PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Searching for product reviews on Google is a dumpster fire.

I want to build a bit of a whitelist of trusted, non-SEO'd, review sites for everything. Be it tech, kitchen appliances, or baby monitors.

So what are everyones favorites?

Personally I look at https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/, and then data backed sites like https://appliance.report/ and i try to find small, geeky blogs from people who clearly love the subject matter

You mean sites like this one https://www.oekotest.de/? Test results are not free.

I actually find reddit to be decent for reviews of customer products. So I add a "site: reddit.com" to my search string.

If you want to pay, Consumer Reports.

If you want free, you get an SEO-infested, SEO-riddled dumpster fire.

Totally up to you.
