How We Test

Creating your perfect home can be overwhelming, so we want to take away some of the pressure when it comes to selecting products. A Modern Kitchen is your personal shopping assistant who provides you with honest reviews and clear, informative details.

How do we get products to test and review?

There are several ways that our experts get their hands on items for testing. One way is that a sample item will be sent to us by a brand or a PR company working on behalf of a brand. Sometimes A Modern Kitchen will purchase an item for testing or an expert will review a personal purchase.

No matter how a product finds its way to our experts, we make sure that the final review is as honest as can be. Our final opinion derives from an expert's first-hand experience with a product. We praise when deserved and criticise when just.

Sometimes we receive commission or other compensation from purchases made through product links. These links allow us to keep doing what we love to do: creating meaningful and valuable product advice for consumers. We never allow potential compensation to influence our reviews.

How do we test products?

When an expert tests a product, they adopt it into their life and test it inside out. We don't rush our tests either, and it’s not unusual for our tests to last upwards of three weeks. What testing entails varies from item to item. At the end of a review, our experts will provide details on how they tested an item.

Who tests the products?

A Modern Kitchen is home to a team of journalists who are not only subject specialists but passionate advocates for their chosen fields. When we test a product, it’s passed to a team member with the relevant expertise.
