How we Review:
We offer hands-on experience. We get the products into our hands, where we see them, touch them, and test them. Most of the products we review are provided to us by their manufacturers for our trial.
From time to time, we will acquire products with the agreement that we will not disclose our findings until after a certain date. These agreements are typical for timely reviews. Otherwise, we do not accept products under any preconditions.
While many companies whose products we review advertise with or have other business relationships with The Fabricator Network, we are not persuaded by them and conduct our reviews without regard to them. We make every effort to perform fair evaluations of products. But we also pride ourselves on cutting through the jargon and offer you the most informed opinion on the good, the bad, and the bottom line on every product we review.
