HOW WATTPICKLAB EVALUATES PRODUCTS

Specifications first. Assumptions stated.

Our full method →
  1. We work from published specifications.Capacity, input limits, coverage ratings and filter grades come from manufacturer documentation, and we say so on every page.
  2. We label every calculation.Runtime and recharge estimates show the numbers and the losses behind them, so you can redo the maths with your own appliances.
  3. We show the basis for each recommendation.Our guides use manufacturer specifications, documented sources and clearly labelled calculations to explain product trade-offs and operating conditions.
