Editorial Policy

These are the rules the site is built to. Several of them are enforced by the build itself — a page that breaks them does not ship — because a standard the toolchain checks is stronger than one a person has to remember.

Last updated July 2026

No fabricated data, ever

Every specification on the site — wattage, capacity, dimensions, temperature range, warranty — comes from the manufacturer's own published documents, and every one carries a link to the source. This is not just a policy; the build fails if a spec has no source URL. Where a manufacturer publishes nothing, we say “not published” rather than estimating, and the oven gets no running-cost figure rather than a borrowed one.

No invented experience

We do not claim to have cooked in, tested, or owned an oven we have not. There is no test kitchen, and we say so on every page. We do not manufacture credentials — no certifications, no “expert panel”, no years of tenure — for a real, named author. Our method is what we compete on instead, and it is fully reproducible from public sources.

No fabricated ratings or endorsements

We publish no customer ratings or endorsements, because we have none — the brand is new. The editorial score on each product is our own judgment from documented research, and it is clearly labeled as such; it is nota test result and it never appears in the page's structured data as a rating, because marking up an unverified score that way would claim something the prose correctly refuses to claim.

Prices are live or absent

Prices come from Amazon's API and are dated. After 48 hours without a refresh they disappear rather than go stale. We never hand-type a price, and we never show a number we cannot currently verify. Full detail is in the affiliate disclosure.

Independence

The site is funded by affiliate commissions, and that funding does not decide our rankings or our verdicts. Every pick states its drawbacks; where a product should be skipped, we say so. We are not paid by manufacturers, we accept no free units — there are none — and no brand sees a page before it publishes.

US English and US market

The site is written for a US audience, in US English, with US pricing and the US Amazon store. Spellings, measurements where dual, and pricing all follow that.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we want to fix it — a wrong number on a site whose whole premise is checkable numbers is the worst error we can make. Report a correction here. We will fix the figure, check whether the same error appears elsewhere, and update the page's “last updated” date to reflect the change.
