DIY & Appliances

Not every job needs a power tool, and not every appliance needs smart features. Hardware stores push premium products with features you’ll never use, while budget options break before you finish your first project. We separate genuine quality from marketing gimmicks. That connected washing machine might promise convenience, but fails when the app stops working. A basic model from a reliable brand often outlasts its “smart” equivalent by years. We recommend tools and appliances based on durability, repairability and actual performance, not flashy specs.
