Ask HN: What are some good review sites?

4 points by rmm 4y ago ↗ HN

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?

If you want to pay, Consumer Reports.

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

Totally up to you.

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.

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
