Truly independent testing and product reviews
YES, it really is unbiased – we buy all the products and test this in the lab and then members test them in the real world. We are not paid to test so all the results are REAL, GENUINE and not biased by advertisers or sponsorship. (And quite often the manufacturers don’t like it, because we tell you the truth!)

What our members say
Finally! A place I can go and find proper expert/ scientific reviews on things and informative advice - it’s wonderful and is my first choice to find what I need. Such a friendly group as well. Worth twice the subscription money

Incredible value for money… brilliant webinars from recognised experts on a vast array of subjects (all available to watch at a later date), access to scientific studies and a brilliant & well-moderated FB members-only group which provides a friendly, accurate information and the ability to ask specific questions.

The place I come to get my head straight when all about me social media explodes! I’ve actually ditched other memberships because this one offers such a variety of resources. I’ve also chosen to upgrade equipment because of the solid research that backs up any recommendations. Thank you Dr David Marlin and team!
