How to read a review
A hands-on review should identify the model, tasks, conditions, observations, and limits. A research-based evaluation should identify the sources and criteria used. When a review uses both methods, it should distinguish direct observations from sourced findings.
What we compare
Useful criteria include fit for the job, compatibility, ease of use, maintenance, and cost. The criteria should match the product and the intended reader.
What the evidence can show
Where an article reports measurements or photos, describe how they were collected. Explain gaps in the evidence and identify relevant purchase, loan, gift, or sponsorship arrangements.
