About Us

Our Mission

Our editors, engineers and product analysts work hard to serve our readers as a go-to resource for almost everything in their lives, highlighting trusted expert advice and the best-tested products you can buy.

Our Vision

We want to help you find unique and exciting products and gifts, shorten the time from research to purchase, help you buy the right product for you at the best price, and catch opportunities and trends. We help you make the right decisions about the products you buy by highlighting the pros and cons of the products.

Our Core Values

We believe that tough, objective, hands-on testing is the best way to measure the quality of a product. Like any good scientist, we promote transparency in our process. We're always happy to share the info we learned along the way.

Do you have products you'd like us to test?

If you're a brand that would like us to test your product, please contact request@trend1review.com, along with details and contact info. There's no fee for testing and your product will be evaluated solely on its merits. However, we test thousands of products each year and may not have time to get to yours.

We know it’s hard to find products and gifts to buy on Amazon. Planning is time consuming. Shopping can be difficult for buyers. You may think that every guide on the internet recommends the same things. For many people, the entire process causes anxiety. Trend1Review is here to help you. We want to save you time in your life, help you find unique and exciting products and gifts, shorten the time from research to purchase, help you buy the right product for you at the best price, and you to catch deals and trends. We help you make the right decisions about the products you buy by highlighting the pros and cons of the products.

Our team of expert editors spends more than 400 hours per week researching products, conducting hands-on tests, interviewing industry pros, studying market research, reviewing consumer feedback, and writing up all our findings into digestible yet comprehensive reviews. We don’t use an algorithm or software to choose the products — they’re all selected and researched or tested by us.

We’ll outline all the best options within a category and offer a product comparison so you can make a well-informed purchase that meets your target needs and budget. We’ll also introduce you to the latest, most on-trend items across various verticals like tech, beauty, home, parenting and more. If you haven’t found what it is you’re looking for, then we haven’t done our job.

Why You Should Trust Us

Between exaggerated marketing claims and unreliable online reviews, it’s tough to know if your purchase is going to live up to lofty promises. That’s where the Trend1Review comes in.

Since 2022, our powerhouse team of on-staff scientific experts — including engineers, fiber scientists, data analysts, researchers, registered dietitians, chemists and seasoned product evaluators — have thoroughly assessed the products you use in your daily life so that you can rest assured you’re not wasting money on duds or updates you simply don’t need,

We’ve reviewed thousands of products since we launched in 2022, and we never recommend something we wouldn’t buy ourselves. We first conduct hours of research and initial product tests before finalizing our top picks within a category. Our editors spend days — sometimes weeks — researching and comparing several different models, reading consumer feedback, studying competitor coverage, calling in products, and putting them through daily use.

Each review is written by one or more editors with several years of experience covering their vertical. Our editors are well-informed in the field and have previously worked for brands like CosmopolitanFood & WineTravel & Leisure, Parenting.com, USAToday.com, NYMag.com, GearPatrol.com, and more.

Affiliate Disclosure

Because we believe in being fully transparent with you guys, we want you to know that we participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commission when you buy something you’ve discovered on our site. But we only ever recommend products to you that we truly love and back 100 percent. The merchandise we feature on our site is always driven by editorial standards, not by affiliate deals or advertising relationships.

Privacy

Trend1Review, we have a strict privacy policy. We care deeply about our readers and appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us. And we’d never slide into your DMs unless you said it was cool.

How to Reach Us

If you have questions or feedback, please write us contact@trend1review.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
