About us
How we test, and how we make our money
BrasQ was founded in 2019 by journalist Ryan Mitchell. We want you to know what to buy in five minutes, and to be able to check why we say so.
Our test method in four steps
01We buy it ourselvesWe buy most products in stores, just like you.
02We use it for weeksEvery product becomes part of daily life in our test house.
03We measureFixed test protocols per category, so results are comparable.
04We keep testingWe keep using our picks longer to spot wear and failures.
How a test score is built
Every category has a fixed weighting scheme that we set and publish in advance. Below is the scheme for vacuums.
How we make money
When you click a store button and buy something, that retailer pays us a small commission. We don’t run manufacturer ads.
