DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE AT ALL. They threw all objectivity out the window when they made this website. THE CLUE. I work in a field that uses few of the product that were reviewed so I know in detail which ones are good or bad. I was surprised to find out that the rankings were all wrong. I was even more surprised to notice that the #1 ranked products were inferior but usually had a huge marketing campaign going on. Very fishy no? HOW I CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS. So I did some minor digging. This site is owned by a hedge fund called the Purch Group that purchased A LOT of review-type websites all at one time. AnandTech, Tom's Guide, Tom's Hardware, Tome's IT Pro, Top Ten Reviews, ShopSavvy, Business.com, LiveScience, Consumr, Laptop Mag, Active Junky, Newsarama, and a whole lot more! They must have spent tens of millions of dollars for these sites. Now, I'm thinking how will they ever recover all that money just through sponsored ads? It's just impossible. It's so obvious that they have to get paid by the companies which they rate very high on their list. It's a very shady and illegal business strategy that they used. Their strategy appear to blanket the internet with seemingly independent websites (but are all owned by Purch, a detail that they, of course, conveniently leave out on their website). They push for a certain product and that company pays them a nice chunk of change because independent reviews really create A LOT of revenue for companies. SHADY MARKETING. Purch websites claim they objectively rank the products by putting the testers and the sales team in different buildings. That's how serious they are with being objective? lol. Uh...I don't know how putting the testers and the sales team in a different building would make the reviews more objective. The sales team can either walk over or call them and tell the testers to make X product look good. It takes 5 minutes. PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. If you don't believe me, go visit one of their sites that reviews products that you're an expert in. Specifically, look at reviews for a category of products that aren't that popular but you know a great deal about. You'll see that the reviews are completely bogus. I mean this literally but I don't think they even try out some of the products before writing about them! It's garbage.

"Reviews" that aren't really reviews. "Reviews" that aren't done by qualified reviewers. This is a scam site trying to make money by selling top positions in software reviews. Their "best" choice is the one they can make most money on. To call their articles 'reviews' is a scam in itself.

I am giving it a generous yellow because sometimes the reviews are helpful. However, they mostly review paid products and then make money through affiliate links. If you don't know what that means is when you buy products and services through a link on a site they track it and then get a commission. The problem is if they are reviewing things that they make money on makes their incentives very troublesome. Think about it.

The results promoted on this site, are basically designed to make money for the site owner- not give you the chance to make an informed decision. The "results" are based on how much commission a company being "reviewed" will pay for people who buy a license via this site, and this whole site is basically an affiliate link pot disguised as "real" reviews....some of the reviews are horrendously out of date and inaccurate, and I would suggest looking for a more credible source of information.

I've come across this site numerous times and their reviews are always out of whack with trends. They rank products high that have no business be called best-in-class. It leaves me believing this is a review site designed for profit, allowing ratings to be purchased. They attempt to look legitimate, but there are plenty of details that show it's a farce. For example, their noise-cancelling headphone review ranks the Bose QC15 5th behind headphones that are widely known to be inferior. They provide that ranking while showing they didn't even test the noise cancelling capability of the Bose!? They also mangle the minimum and maximum frequency response units in their comparison grid. Lastly, while they rank customer support low in the grid for Bose, their review seems to rave about it. Don't trust them.

It's either: A shop or other that uses SPAM to his promotion (adverts), even famous brands, deemed reliable, do the same now, I've seen public services in any country to use SPAM for their advancement (tourism, trade fairs, shows, festivals, etc..), there is only a small step for hospitals, police, governments, schools, ... will go do the same too. A disaster of modern times now affecting other means of mobile communications (smartphones, tablets, SMS, etc..). Or if it's either: An address used for SPAM, endless new addresses (even the wacky, with a letter changed, weird word, numbers, .......) are created permanently to bypass filters, updated constantly, that harassed and antispam services put to block this scourge! Apparently this is the feast of site creations including fake sites for spam, scams, to sell us (legally or illegally) their products or services, and pollute the planet with electric resources wasted, thank you also HOSTS complaisant with the SPAM and the world of profit! One day, the number of Internet domains used for SPAM extensively exceed the number of useful internet domains, like the number of SPAM received which represents 90% of e-mails that are received in the world! Proof here: ***** /!\ A VERY IMPORTANT TIP /!\ : DON'T CLICK ON ANYLINK IN A SPAM, INCLUDING THE UNSUSCRIBE LINK, BECAUSE YOU WOULD CONFIRM THAT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IS VALID, TO BETTER SPAMMING YOU, SPAMS are very contagious with illegal resale data, unofficially legal in corrupt countries!

Un véritable désastre des temps modernes qui touche maintenant d'autres moyens de communications mobiles (smartphones, tablettes, SMS, etc.). Ou il s'agit sinon soit: Une des adresses servant pour le SPAM, une infinité de nouvelles adresses (même les plus farfelus, avec une lettre qui change, un mot bizarre, des chiffres, .......) sont créé en permanence pour contourner les filtres, mis a jour en permanence, que les harcelés et les services antispams mettent pour bloquer ce fléau! Apparemment c'est la fête des créations de site y compris des faux sites pour du spam, des arnaques, de la publicité pour nous vendre (légalement ou illégalement) leur produits, ou services, et polluer la planète avec des ressources électriques gaspillés, merci aussi les hébergeurs complaisants envers le SPAM et le monde du profit!

***** does not appear to be an honest reviewing company and take advantage to the public's general willingness to be trusting. An example is: I wen't there looking for a solution for software to do audio file format conversions. I chose RiverPast Audio Converter which they gave an 8.8 rating. Well when I installed it on my Windows 8.1 system I found that it gave me noisy audio files and was full of other numerous bugs. On top of that they offer a 30 money back guarantee, but when you click the refund link on their website it returns a server error as does their forum link. Their sales link works just fine though. I sent them an email two days ago but they have yet to reply. I am not convinced that ***** actually reviews any of the products they represent other than listing the products claimed featured and such. They provide no feedback option on their page or any way to email any of their reviewers. So, I just do not trust any of toptenreviews.com recommendations.
