Buying guides for US shoppers

Buy the right one the first time

Compatibility checks, side-by-side comparisons and buying calculators for US shoppers. Every figure we rely on links to the manufacturer, standards body or government agency that published it.

Three ways to decide

How we work

The short version. The full rules are on the methodology page.

  • Original sources only

    Specifications come from manufacturers and from standards bodies such as the USB Implementers Forum. Electricity prices and holiday dates come from government sources such as the US Energy Information Administration and the Office of Personnel Management. Seller listings and other review sites are never the source of an answer.

  • The working is on the page

    Calculators print the formula and every assumption, each with a default you can change. The arithmetic runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent to us.

  • Everything is dated

    Each page says when it was last checked against its sources and which month its data describes. When a source changes, we update the page and record what changed at the bottom.

  • Shops can't buy a place

    Some pages will link to shops through affiliate programs. No shop can pay to be included, see a page before it's published or change what it says. Read the affiliate disclosure.
