We’ve lived in everything, from studio apartments, condos, townhomes, houses with yards, and even an RV, which also means we’ve had the opportunity to test, examine and compare a wide variety of products for a million different uses. Our actual experiences inform our consumer advice, and we’re up on what’s new and current. In our rapidly changing world, we all need a resource that’s relevant to today’s lifestyles and concerns. After all, what worked for your mom may not be best for you.
We also know that what’s new is not always better, so we’re not easily distracted by sparkly but useless gadgets. It seems like any appliance can be connected to Bluetooth, controlled via an app, or set to run itself. There are times where these features are highly valuable, but sometimes you’re just paying for complicated technology that you probably won’t use. We lay out the features a product is promoting in an easy-to-understand format, and give you a frank analysis of whether or not you should really care. Living smarter sometimes means saving your money and going for the classic version.
