How SlashGear Approaches Reviews

At SlashGear, we take reviews seriously. Our goal is to provide a fair, balanced, and informative critique, whether we're reviewing a smartphone or an electric car, and give readers an accurate representation of what they can expect from each product. With no shortage of ways to spend your money in the technology and automotive worlds, we want to help readers make informed decisions on the value of each product, at any given price point.

We judge each product based on real-world experience, and — except where clearly noted — all SlashGear product reviews are based on market-ready products, not pre-release prototypes. Given the speed at which new products are released and existing products updated, it's important to remember that our review is a snapshot and that the competitive landscape could change over time.

We provide honest and thorough assessments of every product we review, considering both the good and bad aspects. While the criteria for what makes a successful product will vary, SlashGear's goal is always to indicate its overall quality and value.

Review Philosophy

SlashGear reviewers no longer assign numerical scores to the vehicles we drive or products we test. We prefer to engage meaningfully with each product so we can relate the specifics of our experience to prospective consumers in a cohesive narrative. Our reviews will still speak to the overall quality and value of each product, in addition to providing an in-depth treatment of each relevant feature, as well as a general assessment of how the product compares to its contemporaries and lives up to expectations.

Different SlashGear reviewers may have very different opinions about a particular vehicle or product, depending on personal preferences, experiences, or tastes. It's important to remember that a review reflects just one person's opinion, and one period in time. So while it can be taken into account when considering your next purchase, you should also take into consideration other reviews and opinions as well.

Embargoes and Review Units

We believe in transparency. While SlashGear's reviews are typically based on products supplied by manufacturers, as is the standard practice in the industry, our opinions and conclusions are independent. Any sponsored content is clearly marked. Where applicable, we accept early products so that we can give as thorough and informative a review as possible.
