Our methodology
How we select, test and compare products to give you the best recommendations.
Every guide published on DealMaxa follows the same rigorous methodology. We do not improvise, we do not favor any brand, and we do not publish without verification. Here is precisely how we work.
Our selection process — in detail
Product identification
We select the most relevant models on the market for each category. We analyze their technical specifications, pricing, and availability to build a representative comparison.
Research and configuration
We analyze the technical specifications of each product: features, compatibility, available options. We verify the quality of the provided documentation and note the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
User review analysis
We cross-reference user feedback across multiple platforms (Amazon, Cdiscount, Fnac, Darty) to identify a reliable trend. We filter suspicious reviews and keep only those deemed authentic to establish a realistic average rating.
Specifications analysis
We compare objective specifications: announced battery life, charging time, screen resolution, weight, dimensions. Each technical data point is verified on official manufacturer datasheets and cross-referenced with third-party sources.
Ranking and writing
The results are compiled in a comparison table. Products are ranked by overall score (out of 10) calculated from 6 weighted criteria: quality, price, features, design, value for money, user reviews. Every sentence is linked to verifiable data.
Update
Each guide is updated regularly: prices are checked every week, new models are added when they are game-changers, older ones are removed when no longer available. The last update date is always displayed at the top of each page.
Our scoring system
Each product receives an overall score out of 10 calculated from 6 weighted criteria: build quality (20%), price/performance ratio (20%), features (20%), design (15%), user reviews (15%), and durability (10%). Every score is justified by verifiable data.
Total independence
No brand can buy our recommendation. We accept no free products, no paid partnerships, no display advertising. Our income comes exclusively from affiliate links — you pay nothing extra. If a product is bad, we will say so, regardless of the brand.
Our goal is not to sell. It's to save you time and money by preventing bad purchases. We are not tied to any brand. We do not accept any free products. Our revenue comes exclusively from affiliate commissions — which means we only earn money if you truly find the right product.
