About our Buying Guides

We don't go into unnecessary technical details or quote long-winded tests.

We show you what to look for so you can select the appliance best suited for the tasks you want it for, without overly complex controls or unnecessary gimmicks.

We examine any extra features and look at which to opt for and which to avoid.

Why read them?

All small domestic electrical appliances: Kettles, Toasters, Blenders etc... Have thousands of different models boasting extra features, gimmicks and add-ons.

Many sound fantastic and seem like good ideas until you start using them and find out they are loaded with extras you will never use or are so stuffed with gimmicks they cannot perform the basic task you bought them to do.

It pays to know something about the appliances you're looking for and the features that add value and those that don't.

This way you can guard yourself against the hyped up advertising which seduces you into buying an appliance that ends up sitting in the back of your cupboard or paying for features you don't need and will never use.
