Why HomesAndGardenDecor Exists
Most home product reviews treat every purchase as a consumer transaction. We treat it as an infrastructure decision.
We apply engineering-grade evaluation standards. Every review leads with technical specifications, analyzes total cost of ownership over a realistic operational horizon, and includes a genuine assessment of where a product falls short. No pure endorsements. No manufacturer-influenced ratings.
Our framework:
- What is the product's actual specification — not the marketing claim
- What does the 10-year TCO look like versus the alternatives
- Where does this product underperform, and who shouldn't buy it
Our Evaluation Standards
Specification-First Analysis
We lead with technical specs before any editorial opinion. If a product doesn't have certifiable, verifiable specifications, it doesn't earn a recommendation.
Total Cost of Ownership
Purchase price is the least important number in any home infrastructure decision. We analyze filter replacement costs, maintenance cycles, expected service life, and failure mode costs. The product with the lowest TCO wins — regardless of upfront price.
Honest Limitations
Every product review includes a section on what the product cannot do and who shouldn't buy it. Perfect products don't exist. Reviews that pretend otherwise aren't reviews — they're advertisements.
