A useful overview should help you understand what is offered and what still needs checking. Here we explain the information behind our product and service articles, how we distinguish research from hands-on testing, and how paid features are identified.
Our content starts with a practical question: who might this product or service suit?
We look at the information available, explain the main features in everyday language and highlight details readers should check before buying or making an enquiry.
An overview of one product or business is not a comparison of the whole market. Being included on CompareFeed does not mean an option will be right for every reader.
Product summaries draw on published specifications and information from manufacturers or retailers. Service features may also use a business’s website and information supplied directly by that business.
Statements supplied by a provider are not the same as independently verified results. Where that distinction matters, the article should make it clear.
Unless an article explicitly describes hands-on testing, it is a researched overview. We do not present published specifications as our own experience of using a product or receiving a service.
Where direct testing or experience is included, the article should explain what was assessed and any limits to that assessment.
We consider the intended use, notable features and practical details relevant to the category. These may include dimensions, compatibility, maintenance, service coverage or ongoing costs.
If an article includes a rating, it should explain the criteria, evidence and scope behind it. A rating is an assessment within that scope, rather than proof that an option is the best available across the market.
Some images are illustrative, including generated images used to represent a product type. These may differ from the exact model discussed and should be labelled accordingly.
Check the manufacturer’s or provider’s own images when appearance, controls, dimensions or included accessories are important to your decision.
Products change, services evolve and specifications can vary. Use our articles to guide your research, then confirm the details of the exact option you are considering.
Check the model, configuration or service package. Similar names can cover different features and inclusions.
Confirm the current price, delivery or service charges, ongoing costs and any cancellation or returns conditions.
Contact the manufacturer, retailer or service provider before committing if an important detail is missing.
Send us the article link and the detail you think needs checking. A link to supporting information will help us review it.
