Meet Jordan Wells
Founder & Chief Product Tester
👋 Hi there! I’m Jordan Wells, the face behind this site. As a lifelong DIY enthusiast and former product testing specialist, I’ve spent years sifting through endless Amazon listings to find the real gems.
My journey started when I moved into my first apartment and realized how overwhelming (and expensive!) it was to find reliable kitchen gadgets, storage solutions, and tech gear. After one too many dud purchases, I decided to turn my frustration into a mission: to test, review, and recommend only the best mid-range essentials ($50–200) that deliver real value.
When I’m not unboxing the latest air fryer or testing robot vacuums, you’ll find me hiking with my rescue dog, Max, or experimenting with new recipes in my very well-stocked kitchen.
Why Trust Us?
- No Fluff, Just Facts: We test every product (or deep-dive into verified customer reviews) before recommending it.
- Budget-First Focus: We only feature items under $200—because great design and functionality shouldn’t cost a fortune.
- Transparency Promise: We earn commissions through Amazon Associates links, but we never let that sway our opinions. If we don’t love it, we won’t recommend it.
Our Process
- Research: Identify top-rated products in everyday categories (kitchen, home, tech, lifestyle).
- Test: Use products in real-life scenarios (e.g., does this blender handle frozen smoothies without sounding like a jet engine?).
- Compare: Pit similar items against each other to find the best value.
- Recommend: Share honest, detailed reviews and buying guides to simplify your decisions.
