The Sweethome Information

The Sweethome is the sister site of The Wirecutter, our electronics leaderboard. It's a list of the best home gear, each item chosen mindfully and in accordance with many hours of research and interviews with the world's most knowledgable experts and testers, all in service of backing up our own testing and opinions. It's not a blog. We don't do news and we don't post multiple times a day-we just want to help you pick out great gear and get on with your life. How do I use your site? See that big list of stuff on the front page? Pick the category you want and read the descriptions of our handful of choices. Each one is special, but I bet there's one that fits you in our narrow list of choice(s). How do you choose what you recommend? We take all the data we can find from existing reviews and literature, interview the world's best experts, research all the different choices we can find, and, after winnowing our list to a few finalists, we often perform tests if they feel they'll help us make a better call. That usually takes between 10 and 50 hours per piece. And then we make up our minds. Sometimes we agree with the people who have tested things. But sometimes we recommend a lower- or higher-tier item depending on what we think most people will need.
