About Us  

All of the RTINGS.com employees sitting in their office.

We're the only source you need to decide what to buy. We focus on helping you, the consumer, find the best product for your needs.

  • More than 3,000 products bought and tested
  • ~40,000 sq. ft. testing facility
  • Comparable, standardized, and transparent results
  • In-depth and meaningful tests
  • Independent company founded in 2011

We buy our own products, test them, and then publish all the results so you can decide which one to buy. We put all the products we review under the same standardized methodology, allowing you to compare them side by side as if you owned all of them. We keep the products we review until they're discontinued so we can continually go back and compare them to ensure our reviews are still accurate. All our test methodology is also public on our website, so you can validate the results yourself and trust them.

How do we make money, and how can you support us?

At RTINGS.com, unbiased reviews are our greatest strength. We keep a strict wall between our editorial and revenue teams to ensure that how we make money doesn't influence our test results and recommendations. This helps us fund our lab without affecting our reviews.

The best way to support us directly in our mission of testing more products is to subscribe to our Insider program. Our other main sources of revenue are affiliate revenues, display advertising, and content licensing. Learn more about how we make money while remaining unbiased.

Where do the products we review come from?

Shelves full of products fill the RTINGS.com office.

Unlike most websites, we don't get our review units directly from the manufacturers. Instead, we buy all of the review products ourselves. We buy them like you on Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Walmart, and other retailers, mostly from the United States. We keep them until they're discontinued and then resell them used locally. This means the manufacturers don't handpick our units; they represent what you would buy yourself.

We keep products to retest with firmware changes or test bench updates. Once the product is no longer useful (e.g., discontinued or unpopular), we resell the review units locally in Montreal, Canada. If you're interested in the products we currently have for sale and are in the Montreal region, you can view our list.

Why haven't we reviewed _______ yet?

We have a limited throughput, so we need to prioritize which model we test. We prioritize our reviews by:

  • Suggestion poll winners
  • New and popular releases
  • Products likely to help most people with their needs

You can suggest and vote on what we review next on our review pipeline page here.
