Using state of the art quantitative analysis, machine learning, and natural language processing, we excel at cutting through the noise and finding the products that are actually worth your time considering.  

Through research about the way shoppers qualify products as quality or not, we have identified and characterized more than two dozen metrics that go into creating the final rankings for each product. From sentiment analysis of the products reviews, down to the seller's reliability, we care about every detail and only recommend the best products that we would  use ourselves.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST PRODUCTS LIKE US

Deciding on which product is the best for your needs can be a challenging and daunting task. That's why we're here to help cut down on the products you need to look through to find the right one for you. We employ state of the art data & statistical analysis, machine learning, and AI techniques to separate the good products from the best ones. Here's a little guide to share some information about how we approach creating our best rankings and how you can too.

Reviews 

Reading reviews is one of the most important parts of finding the best products. Seeing what verified buyers think of the product, and what they love or hate about it provides you a lot of information about whether or not the product could be for you. When considering the importance of product reviews, take into consideration the legitimacy of the reviewer and whether or not they have reviewed similar products in the past. Reviewers who leave detailed comments about the things that they loved or hated about the product are also more valuable than short reviews that consist of one sentence. 

Brands 

Brand names can carry a lot of power when looking for the best products. Some brands can be known for quality, and others may be completely new, while the remaining could be known for their lack of support or good products. Brands are important when it comes to identifying a quality product. We recommend sticking to brands that have a reputation for good customer service and well-made products in a specific and singular category. Recognizable brands often charge more for their name, so be sure to balance the quality of a brand name with the other metrics listed here to get the best product for you.

Sellers 

Sellers can play a large role in the satisfaction of your purchase. While you're looking for the best products, make sure that you verify the people you are purchasing from have legitimate reviews and good feedback. Return policies, money back guarantees, and free shipping are amongst the most import things to consider. If you plan on purchasing something from an online marketplace, then products being sold by the marketplace directly often are considered to be better to purchase because you know you will receive a quality purchasing experience. 

Listing Quality 

The quality of a listing can be broken down into a few main points: images, videos, details, and specifications. It is important to choose products that have been represented well and thoughtfully. When searching for the best products, make sure to pay attention to if a product was presented well, truthfully, and with lots of useful details. We personally like to see 5 product images and 1 video at the minimum in terms of media, and prefer to see rich text content in the description the product.

Best Seller Rankings 

Best seller rankings can be an important metric to check when looking at the quality of a product. This metric can give you an idea of when a product has cornered off a large portion of the market. Many times this is indicative of a product that has superior quality to its competitors, and is usually more favored by consumers. Sometimes this metric can be misleading because sponsored products are ranked in the best sellers lists alongside non-sponsored products, so use your discretion and better judgement to see if this product actually deserves its spot in the best sellers rankings or not.

Pricing 

Pricing is the bottom line for many people when it comes to purchasing the best products. When shopping for products based on pricing, the most important piece of advice is to consider three things: the cost, the value, and the monetary price of the product. The price of the product is simple, it's the monetary value which the seller is offering the product at. However, value and cost are different. Value is the expected benefit that product will bring you. A product with more or better features will have a higher value than a product with fewer. 

This leaves cost as the last thing to consider, which is arguably the most important of the three. Cost is what you will actually end up paying to purchase a product and live with it. Thinking about cost requires you think about what other expenses may be associated with a product. If you're buying into a brand ecosystem, then maybe you are going to need to spend more money to get the accompanying pieces. If you are buying the cheapest product possible, then you may end up spending twice as much as you should because you will need to replace the item once it inevitably breaks.

What To Watch Out For

Not everyone selling something has your best interest in mind. Here's a few key things to watch out for when considering which products to buy online.

Fake Reviews

Fake reviews are unfortunately a common tactic of online sellers to boost their reputation in a marketplace. When searching for the best products, be on the lookout for comments that have a perfect rating and text with no significance to the product being sold. Another telltale sign is text that speaks negatively of the product, but a 5 star rating attached to it. This is usually indicative of sellers offering free products or coupons for those who adjust their ratings.

Perfect Ratings

Perfect ratings may seem to make a product appear reputable, so be wary of products with fewer than 100 ratings that have 100% five star ratings. This is usually a sign of purchased reviews, or rating bots designed to appear legitimate and boost the ranking of a product. Although seemingly counter intuitive, products that have a distribution of star ratings are usually more legitimate. Overall, look for products with more than 100 reviews and a good distribution of ratings.

Lackluster Descriptions

Sellers who don't put time into their listings often won't put time into creating a superior product. That's why it's important that the product description accurately depicts and represents the item. Look for media like pictures and videos, well written descriptions and specifications given for the product, and an overall high quality presentation.
