About us

Founded in 2003, Trusted Reviews exists to give our readers thorough, unbiased and independent advice on what to buy.
We do this by employing experienced expert reviewers, who thoroughly test everything they recommend, to explain what’s best for most people. It’s that simple.
Today, our team assesses multiple hundreds of products a year, making us one of the most influential reviews websites in the UK.
Earning our audience’s trust is central to what we do – it’s in our name, after all – so please get in touch to let us know how we’re doing: editor@trustedreviews.com
