What we do
WhatBestBuy started with a simple frustration: too many "best product" lists are written by people who never touched the products. We do the opposite. Our small team buys, borrows or long-term tests the gear we cover — web hosting and online tools, workshop and paint equipment, and home tech — and we publish what we find, good or bad.
How we test
Every category has a written test protocol before any product arrives. Hosting providers get identical test sites and 120 days of uptime monitoring. Paint sprayers get real paint, real fences and real cabinet doors. Keyboards get typed on for weeks, not minutes. Rankings are scored against that protocol, not against marketing claims.
How we make money
WhatBestBuy is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. Brands cannot pay for a ranking or a review score, and our scores are locked before affiliate links are added. You can read the full details on our affiliate disclosure page.
