Editorial Policy

Our approach to product recommendations

We compare products based on specifications, retailer information, buyer feedback, price, features and suitability. We do not claim hands-on testing unless clearly marked.

CoolHomeGuide does not claim hands-on testing of products unless a review is explicitly marked as "hands-on tested". Our recommendations are based on:

• Manufacturer specifications and technical data sheets
• Verified buyer reviews from UK retailers including Amazon UK, John Lewis, Currys and Appliances Direct
• Price and value assessment relative to competing products
• Energy class and running cost analysis using UK electricity pricing
• Noise level data from manufacturer specifications and buyer feedback
• Room size suitability based on BTU output and UK building characteristics

How we rank products

Products are ranked using a combination of factors including relevance to the page topic, buyer ratings, review count, price-to-performance ratio, energy efficiency, noise level, availability and delivery speed. Affiliate commission potential is one factor in our ranking algorithm but does not override product quality or suitability.

We aim to recommend the most suitable product for each use case, not the most profitable product. Our goal is to build long-term reader trust by providing genuinely useful recommendations.
