Our goal at Apartment Therapy Media ( Apartment Therapy, The Kitchn, Cubby, and Dorm Therapy) is to help you create a home that’s happy, healthy, and uniquely your own. A big part of how we do this is by introducing you to the best products and services out there. Our writers and editors put hundreds of them to the test every year to determine which ones get our stamp of approval and are really worth your time and money. If we love it, you’re going to hear about it.

## Why You Should Trust Us

The Commerce Team at Apartment Therapy Media has one mission: to help you make smart and informed purchases. We know how hard online shopping can be — it’s literally our job! From trying to decipher confusing marketing lingo to sorting through scores of fake paid reviews in search of some truth, online shopping can be overwhelming. We’re dedicated to doing the hard work for you by reviewing these products firsthand and delivering all the information you need, both good and bad.

## How We Test Products for The Kitchn

As experts in the home and kitchen space, we put products to the test right where they matter: at home. Whether it’s the kitchen appliance on everyone’s wish list or smart organizing finds, we bring these products into our personal spaces and test them for weeks and even months at a time to see how well they live up to their claims. Will that little gadget really make meal prep easier? Does that buzzy bottle of olive oil deserve a spot in your pantry? Can that new cleaning spray wipe out spills and stains like it claims?  We’ll let you know.

Within each of our reviews, we also break down the different ways that we critique products. In some cases, we’re testing products head-to-head on things like price, ease of use, and durability. In others, we’re comparing new products to personal favorites or ones we’ve tested in the past. No matter what, we’ll always break down the ins and outs of a product. At the end of the day, we’re consumers too, so we’ll provide you with all the information we’d want — and then some.

## How We Make Money

When you shop our articles, we may receive an affiliate commission on some — but not all — of the products we recommend. This, however, does not influence which products our writers and editors choose to feature in stories. We only ever recommend products that we have thoroughly and carefully researched to ensure we provide you with the best of the best. Occasionally, brands and PR agencies will send us products for consideration, but as with any product we put to the test, our reviews of these products remain thorough and unbiased. We never accept a product in exchange for coverage or a positive review. If we’re unhappy with a product and don’t stand by it, we will not recommend it.
