A regular buyer, not a lab
I’m Juan, and I’m based in Lacey, Washington. I don’t have a test bench or a sponsor telling me what to say. I buy products, use them at home, and report what happened after weeks of real use.
How I test
I use each product in my own setup, whether that’s a PC build, my kitchen or home, for weeks before I write about it. I tell you what worked, what didn’t, and who should skip it. If a company sends me a product, I will say so at the top of the review.
Who’s behind this
By day I work in IT project management, and I’ve spent over 25 years in professional roles, including 16 years in the US Army. That background makes me careful about details and plain about results. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish.
