We're Not Experts
We Just Play Them Online
Hi! We're Smart Home Explorer. We read every smart home review on the internet so you don't have to. You're welcome.
The Problem
You want a smart doorbell. There are 47 reviews. Each is 3,000 words. That's 141,000 words about doorbells. Nobody has time for that.
We do. Because we have no life. You're welcome.
Our "Process"
It's not rocket science. Actually, it's not science at all.
We Stalk
Monitor 25+ expert sites obsessively
We Read
Consume reviews like it's our job (it is)
We Math
Average out opinions (revolutionary!)
You Decide
Make informed choices without the pain
The Real Heroes
These folks actually test things. We just mooch off their hard work.
If they all agree something is good, it's probably good. If they all hate it, run away. It's that simple.
Things We Absolutely Don't Do
Questions Nobody Asked (But We'll Answer Anyway)
Q: Do you actually test products?
A: LOL no. We can barely operate our own smart homes. We just read what people who know things write about them.
Q: Why should I trust you?
A: You shouldn't! Trust the 25+ expert sources we aggregate. We're just the messenger. Don't shoot us.
Q: How do you make money?
A: Affiliate links, baby! But they don't affect our summaries. The experts pick the winners, we just point you there (and collect a tiny commission).
Q: Are you biased?
A: Only towards products that multiple experts agree on. And coffee. We're very biased towards coffee.
Q: Can I pay you to feature my product?
A: No, but you can pay CNET, Wirecutter, and others to review it. If they like it, we'll talk about it. That's the deal.
Want to Yell at Us?
Found a mistake? Have a complaint? Just lonely? We're here for you.
hello@smarthomeexplorer.comWe read every email. We respond to some of them. It's a lottery system.
Remember: We're not the smart ones here.
We just read what the smart ones write and tell you about it. It's basically plagiarism with extra steps.
