Editorial policy

How Dialed researches, writes and updates its guides.

Research first

A guide starts from the manufacturer’s specifications, reviews by independent testers and publications, and what owners report over time. Every guide lists its sources at the end, so you can check them.

Honest about testing

Most guides are researched, not tested in person, and they say so. When we have used a product ourselves, the article states it and describes what we found, good and bad.

Tools

We use software, including AI tools, to help gather and draft from the sources a guide cites. We do not publish claims of hands-on use that did not happen.

Independence

Advertisers and affiliate partners do not see guides before publication and cannot buy a recommendation. Sponsored articles are labelled.

Updates and corrections

We revisit guides when products, prices or evidence change, and show the date of the last update. If you find a mistake, write to —; we correct it and note significant corrections in the article.
