What we review and how we test

At Travelling King, we review all sorts of products, from the latest electronics, smartphone accessories, sporting goods, kitchen appliances and other essentials — basically, anything that makes our lives better.

If we review something, we’ve spent time putting the product through its paces, messing around with it, comparing it to similar products and generally evaluating it to death. We’re here to represent the interests of our readers, not manufacturers, and will confidently and honestly report back on what we experience without bias.

Positive reviews should be read as recommendations to the reader and not as promotions for the manufacturer. With that said, Travelling King makes these promises as part of our effort to be transparent about our ground rules for writers and our policies on review units and affiliate links.

Reviews and affiliate links disclosure

• We don’t mix business with editorial.
• We clearly mark every review we publish.
• We use affiliate links when applicable, but they have no bearing on our editorial ethics.
• We receive no money or compensation for reviews aside from the usual advertising revenue generated by pageviews and the small commissions paid by affiliates when a reader follows a link from our site to their store and makes a purchase.
• We disclose when we receive a review unit from a company.

Manufacturers: please submit review requests to Travelling_king(at)hotmail(dot)com. We treat all correspondence as confidential.
